The deal - with Endemol Shine UK subsidiary Initial - also includes rights for spinoff shows related to the franchise.
Channel 5's chief operating officer Paul Dunthorne said: "Big Brother in all its guises brings a huge and varied cross section of viewers to Channel 5, and typifies the appointment-to-view programming we want on the channel."
Initial executive Nick Samwell-Smith added: "Channel 5 is a fantastic home for Big Brother. Over the past four years, we've worked closely together to keep this extraordinary format feeling fresh, noisy and creatively vibrant.
"I'm thrilled that this landmark deal means we can look forward to three more years of big characters and juicy storylines from inside our favourite house."
