MANILA -- ABS-CBN's hit reality program "Pinoy Big Brother" is returning with a new season billed as "Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0."
Pinoy Big Brother or Kuya's angels Bianca Gonzalez-Intal, Gabbi Garcia and Kim Chiu announced the new season on Friday on "It's Showtime."
"This is it. Ito na ang takdang panahon para sabihin na muling magbubukas ang bago at pinakasikat na bahay sa buong Pilipinas dito sa panibagong season na 'Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0,'" the PBB hosts said in unison.

"Sanib-pwersa pa rin ang GMA at ABS-CBN Studios at kung 'yung dalawang Collab seasons eh mga celebritiy housemates ang ipinatuloy ni Kuya, bagong grupo ng mga housemates ang kanyang hinahanap," Garcia said.
"Para sa season na ito, magbubukas ang Bahay ni Kuya para sa mga ordinaryong Pilipino," Gonzalez-Intal said.
"Now is your chance para makipag-collab sa mga bagong titira sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya. Baka ikaw na 'yan," Chiu added.
The latest season is open to all Filipinos worldwide from 18 to 35 years old. For those who want to audition, upload a one-minute video with name, age, location and why you are worthy to become a housemate in Big Brother's house.
Audition period starts on Friday night, August 14, until August 31.
Last July, ABS-CBN TV production head Laurenti Dyogi shared that a new "Bahay ni Kuya" is set to open as "Pinoy Big Brother" prepares to return for another collaboration edition with GMA-7.
Dyogi revealed in March that the original "Pinoy Big Brother" house, which had been used for 21 years since the reality show's debut, would close its doors as the program moves to a new location.
Last February, Kapamilya star Lella Ford and Kapuso celebrity Caprice Cayetano were announced as the Big Winners of “PBB Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0.”
In 2025, Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca were named as the Big Winner duo of the first-ever “PBB Celebrity Collab Edition,” the historic partnership between ABS-CBN and GMA Network.
The show brought together artists from Star Magic and Sparkle as housemates inside the iconic Bahay ni Kuya.
