The show first aired two regular seasons on TvDanmark2 in 2001. The series returned once again in 2003 on TvDanmark2, first with a celebrity season called "V.I.P.", later that year the show changed channel from TvDanmark2 to TvDanmark1 and aired the first regular Big Brother season in nearly two years. In 2004 TvDanmark1 aired one final season before the show was paused indefinitely. The season was a celebrity season and was called "Reality Allstars".

In 2009, Kanal 4 chose to rebroadcast the first season of Big Brother Denmark.

After a 8-year break, Kanal 5 and The Voice Tv relaunched Big Brother Danmark in 2012 and the show aired for three regular seasons and one special season called "Big Brother – 4 Stjerners Middag Speciel" from 2012 to 2014.

The show was finally cancelled after 13 years by SBS Discovery on June 19th 2014, due to poor ratings.

In 2021, on the 20th year anniversary for the first season in Denmark, Jill Liv Nielsen who won the first season back in 2001 was interviewed by Danmarks Radio (english: Denmarks Radio), for an article about the show.

Notes:
^7 The Housemates had to evict a male and a female. Each female voted to evict a male and each male voted to evict a female. The males are denoted by the blue boxes by their name, and the girls by the red boxes.
^8 On Day 34 Aida re-entered the House after a Public Vote, and was joined by Martin, a new Housemate.
^9 Martin was allowed to Nominate for 5 Points this Week, and distributed them as follows: Aida (3 points) and Cosmo (2 points).
^10 This Week the Public Nominated, and Aida and Martin received the most votes, and the surviving Housemates voted to Evict one of them. Ghazal, as a new Housemate, was Exempt from this Vote, but could vote and voted to Evict Martin.
^11 Randi was originally Nominated, but won immunity and hence Ghazal took her place. Martin was Evicted with just 71 more votes than Ghazal - the closest vote in Big Brother history.
^12 All Housemates faced the Public Vote to Evict this Week to decide the three finalists.
^13 The final three Housemates all faced the Public Vote to win.
