MANILA -- ABS-CBN's hit reality program "Pinoy Big Brother" with a new season billed as "Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0." is coming back beginning this October.
The program made the announcement in a social media post on Thursday, October 1.
"May announcement si Kuya! Magbubukas na ulit ang bahay niya. This October na! 🚪😱," part of the caption wrote.
Pinoy Big Brother or Kuya's angels Bianca Gonzalez-Intal, Gabbi Garcia and Kim Chiu first announced "Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0." on "It's Showtime" last August. Auditions for the latest season were then opened to Filipinos worldwide from 18 to 35 years old.
Last July, ABS-CBN TV production head Laurenti Dyogi said a new “Bahay ni Kuya” would open for another collaborative edition of “Pinoy Big Brother” with GMA-7. This, after the original "Pinoy Big Brother" house, which had been used for 21 years since the reality show's debut, had to close.
The first “PBB Celebrity Collab Edition” in 2025 named Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca as its Big Winner duo, marking the historic partnership between ABS-CBN and GMA Network. A year later, Kapamilya star Lella Ford and Kapuso celebrity Caprice Cayetano emerged as the Big Winners of “PBB Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0.”
The show brought together artists from Star Magic and Sparkle as housemates inside the iconic Bahay ni Kuya.
