Season chronology

The upcoming twelfth season of the reality game show Pinoy Big Brother, subtitled Collab, stylized as Collab 3.0[a], will air on GMA Network.

As part of a collaboration between ABS-CBN Studios, the franchise holder, and GMA Network, the season follows the regular format unlike two previous celebrity editions (Collab 1 and Collab 2.0).[1]

This season marks the return of a regular edition featuring civilian housemates since Unlimited in 2011. This season is also the first to use a new Big Brother house, following the demolition of the original house along Eugenio Lopez Drive in Quezon City after the finale of Collab 2.0.[2]

Development

On August 10, 2026, Pinoy Big Brother published a social media post featuring a hand making the “OK” gesture, with the show’s eye logo placed within the circle formed by the fingers. In the days leading up to the announcement, the show released additional posts featuring former housemates making the same gesture, building anticipation for the new season.

On August 14, the new season was officially confirmed during a special opening performance by former housemates on It’s Showtime.[1] Auditions officially opened that evening following the announcement on 24 Oras and remained open until August 31. Aspiring housemates aged 18 to 35 may audition by submitting their applications online through joinnow.ph.[3]

Notes

  1. ↑ Despite being branded as the twelfth season, the season is titled “Collab 3.0” to continue the numbering of the franchise’s collaboration editions, marking the third collaboration between the two networks. It follows the two previous “Collab” editions, both of which took place the preceding year.
