Hmmm... Should be interesting to see what comes out of this... What details about the upcoming series are known so far? Not many of us around here speak German and I can't be bothered with Google Translator... Also the sixx.de website is geoblocked...

You CAN get around geoblocking (if you really want...). I un-geoblock iview from Germany using UnoTelly. (I love iview).
It's just a normal series as far as I could tell... I just happened to see an ad while I was at someone else's house and then immediately checked the website when I got home!! I don't technically have a TV (watch via iPad or computer, but it's not quite like a TV where it is on in the background a lot more...) so I was oblivious until I saw the ad...
Big difference is it's (apparently) live streamed 24/7 on sky. I didn't check the details for that bc I don't have sky. Don't know how they do it... Whether they put it on delay or what...
Thanks,hoping I can find this for hubby he can speak German and would love to watch
Promi BB has already aired this year on Sat 1, though the host, logo and channel changes for this and think the house will as well. You can take a tour of the most recent house here, including the seemingly miles of corridor between the main house and the basement.

I "could" if I really want to... But to be honest I wouldn't have a clue what the hell was going on... The ONLY reason I even followed this show to begin with was because we had members here that provided updates in English periodically throughout the series...
BTW the live feed for BB Germany has been streamed via a dedicated channel for YEARS... This series is merely following up on tradition... There must be some other news you can share with us... If not this thread is quite pointless...[DOUBLEPOST=1442109569][/DOUBLEPOST]
@Brekkie all I see is a group of rugby players in your link...

Well Kingston the show hasn't started yet, so there is limited information to share, and as I said above, I only just found out about the show myself and just thought it might be nice to let potential fans know about it, so - if you are not one of them feel very free to avoid this pointless thread

Some information:
The series will last for 92 days. 12 housemates will move in on launch night. According to the host Jochen Bendel (who used to host the German answer to Uplate from 2003 to 2006, co-hosted the weekly live show during BB6 and hosted a BB late night show during last year's and this year's Promi BB) there won't be housemates that used to be on telly before or trying to make a career in television.
There will be indeed a brand new house for the new season built in the same studio complex as the Promi BB house, but at a different place within that studio complex.
The host branded the series as "back to basic". That means there'll be just one living area, no poor/rich divide. They won't do big challenges where housemates left the house (like they had during BB5, 6 and Promi BB 2), but there will be weekly tasks. Probably looking like the tasks on the earlier seasons.
You can read that here: http://bbfun.de/news/big-brother-2015/big-brother-haus-konzept-1292922707.html - that site usually has good information about the show. They also had videos during Promi BB that weren't geoblocked. Not sure if they'll have some for the new regular series.
Back to basic is something they already did to some extent during the last Promi BB season. For most of the season, housemates were left on their own. They had duels during the daily live show and housemates upstairs had to name a housemate to move upstairs. Besides that there were hardly any tasks: When they had a male/female divide two guys had to do chores (stripping and being a butler for a doy). Later on one of the women had to clean upstairs when the guys lived there. Besides that, they did the ranking task once for each area of the house. (most famous housemates and housemates with the most fans).
The only twists they had was during nominations. They changed those up a few times. Nomination two people insteas of one (which is the rule in Germany), open nominations and once the person with the most points was able to select his opponent.
I don't know if it's smart to do something like this during the regular BB. German viewers tend to favour the divided houses and huge challenges. It's more about who achieves the most than who's the most entertaining housemate. That's why they have the basement for Promi BB. They want it to be tougher than I'm a Celebrity.
Also live feed viewers complain about boring live feeds when people don't have stuff to do. They expect to see action all day long. I guess most fans would even be happy with twisting things like they do on BBUK as long as it's some sort of entertainment. In fact there were quite a few people who praised every single bit of this year's CBB winter series, but couldn't name anything good about this year's Promi BB.
I think Promi BB started a bit slow, housemates were quite boring at first. But not having these huge challenges and matches during the day really gave the housemates time to shine and some of the housemates really surprised you with their behavior.. there was quite a huge development during the season and that was quite refreshing compared to later German series (where Big Brother gave lots of input) or recent UK series, where drama is scripted.

Hallo kamui - where are you? Are you over here or do you watch remotely? I watched the promos the other day - from the website. They were a wee bit meh (and short) but I'll still watch the opening night if I can.
Also - for general information - the last 'original' BB here was 2011.

I'm from Munich. Hasn't been here for a long time.
I think the chicken trailers work for sixx. They had chickens as a mascot ever since they launched a few years ago. And they have the deep Big Brother voice, which is rather popular with German viewers. It doesn't give away much about the new season though, but I guess that's down to the channel/channel group. For some reason they're just not into building up the hype - Big Brother or not.
Also, here's the interactive floorplan for Promi BB that Brekkie mentioned:
