After a decade since the last airing of an ABS-CBN game show franchise based on Deal or No Deal (originated from Dutch-based game show Miljoenenjacht), Luis Manzano, from the previous season, returns as a host for Kapamilya Deal or No Deal, on its sixth season. It will also mark the 20th anniversary since it first aired on ABS-CBN last June 2006.
For the first time, the returning game show broadcast its premiere this weekend, April 25 and 26, 2026, via Kapamilya Channel, ALLTV2, and A2Z, with live streaming available via Kapamilya Online Live and iWant, airing at 19:30.
The new season of Kapamilya Deal or No Deal will feature a new set of Lucky Stars, holding their 20 briefcases containing a value offered by the banker, ranging from PHP 1 to PHP 1,000,000. Among them are AC Bonifacio, The Aguinaldos, Arizona Brandy, Asia Yoona, Aubrey Miles, Bassilyo, Christine Samson, Cris Villanueva, Diego Gutierrez, Eric Fructoso, Inah Evans, Jameson Blake, Jeremy Glinoga, Jopay Paguia, Kolette Madelo, Long Mejia, Negi, Rave Victoria, Red Ollero, and Ynez Veneracion.
Deal or No Deal? That is the question that the new players will ask, including this week’s guests, Jessy Mendiola and Vilma Santos-Recto, and Jodi Sta. Maria. It is part of the two-part celebration for Luis Manzano, who turned 45 on April 21, 2026.
Apart from that, the evening’s celebrity player will be chosen from the 20 Lucky Stars through a roulette draw. The excitement continues as the original banker returns once again to test the Lucky Stars with tempting offers and tricky decisions.
On June 5, 2006, Kapamilya Deal or No Deal premiered on ABS-CBN, with Kris Aquino as the host of the game show until the season 3 finale aired on March 27, 2009. When the game show premiered on its fourth season on February 25, 2012, Luis Manzano became the host for Kapamilya Deal or No Deal.
Initially, days before the announcement of the game show’s return on April 25 and 26, 2026, it will also be broadcast on the sister network of GMA Network, GTV, alongside Everybody Sing (a game show hosted by Vice Ganda, which previously aired also on ABS-CBN platforms), when an EPG saying that the show will also be seen on that channel, supposedly on April 18 and 19, 2026.
However, the airing didn’t go through. Instead, the returning game show will air the following week on ABS-CBN platforms, including ALLTV2, Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, and iWant.
ABS-CBN serves as the licensor of Deal or No Deal in the Philippines, in which the game show franchise is owned by Banijay Entertainment, the company behind Big Brother (Pinoy Big Brother), Your Face Sounds Familiar, and many others.
