Pinoy Big Brother recently announced on its social media accounts that the upcoming ABS-CBN-GMA collaboration season of Pinoy Big Brother: Collab 3.0 is scheduled to reveal a newly built Bahay ni Kuya, currently located at an undisclosed address as of this writing, on October 24, 2026.
The new season will also mark the first-ever civilian season under a collaboration between ABS-CBN and GMA since the launch of PBB Celebrity Collab Edition in 2025, and also the first to house all future housemates in a newly built home, following news reports that the old PBB house has been relocated to a new home, weeks after PBB Collab 2.0 held its Big Night on February 28, 2026.
Earlier, one of the Kapuso ex-housemates of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 1.0, Michael Sager, known for his previous appearance in a Kapuso afternoon drama, Born To Shine, as Nate, will join together with Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Melai Cantiveros-Francisco, Enchong Dee, Alexa Ilacad, and Gabbi Garcia in Pamilya ni Kuya. The announcement about the newest addition to the hosts’ roster was seen during the broadcast of 24 Oras on October 5, 2026.
Previously, the first two Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition seasons were also hosted together with Mavy Legaspi for the first season, followed by Luis Manzano for the second one. As for PBB Collab 3.0, they, as well as Kim Chiu, who previously hosted these two PBB Collab seasons and other editions of PBB before them, took a break from hosting the show.
The previous season of Pinoy Big Brother that featured regular, civilian housemates was Gen 11, comprising 20 housemates aged 16 to 32, who appeared after a series of on-site and online auditions, and later, as for the season, made another mark by having an all-female Big 4 housemates, featuring Fyang Smith, Kai Montinola, Kolette Madelo, and Rain Celmar, and achieving more than 2.26 million concurrent online views on Kapamilya Online Live, during the show’s Big Night that took place on October 26, 2024.
Today, almost two years after the Big Night, the housemates of PBB Gen 11 have appeared in several forms of media, including teleseryes, microdramas, music albums, music videos, and many other content, with Dingdong Bahan appearing in a Kapuso-Kapamilya drama releasing on Prime Video, Honor Thy Mother, and Kanata Tapia joining together with PBB Collab 2.0 Kapamilya ex-housemates Rave Victoria and Iñigo Jose in an upcoming iWant microdrama series titled Coach Me Maybe.
As for Pinoy Big Brother: Collab 3.0, it will feature civilian housemates aged 18 to 35 (born from 1991 to 2008) who completed the online audition process via the ABS-CBN Join Now website. The housemates who will appear in the upcoming season of the reality show will be announced soon on the official social media accounts of Pinoy Big Brother, ABS-CBN, GMA Network, ABS-CBN PR, and Kapuso PR.
