What happens

Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) is a Philippine television reality competition show produced by ABS-CBN Studios and based on the Dutch reality television franchise Big Brother. The series is owned and produced by ABS-CBN, which holds the exclusive Philippine franchise rights to the format. The program originally aired on ABS-CBN from August 21, 2005, to August 4, 2019, with Willie Revillame, Toni Gonzaga, and Mariel Rodriguez as its first hosts. Following ABS-CBN’s broadcast shutdown in 2020, the show returned via Kapamilya Channel and Kapamilya Online Live on December 6, 2020, as part of its Primetime Bida and Yes Weekend lineup. It later expanded its reach through blocktime and content distribution arrangements, airing on TV5 and, beginning March 9, 2025, on GMA Network under ABS-CBN’s programming partnership. The series is currently broadcast on GMA Network for free television viewers in the Philippines and is simultaneously streamed on Kapamilya Online Live and Kapuso Stream for online audiences. Internationally, it aired via The Filipino Channel and GMA Pinoy TV. Despite being shown across multiple networks, Pinoy Big Brother remains an ABS-CBN intellectual property and continues to be produced by ABS-CBN Studios. Its latest season is co-produced with GMA Network, marking the first joint reality show collaboration between the two networks. The show stands as the longest-running reality television series in the Philippines, having aired 11 main seasons, 4 celebrity editions, and 4 teen editions over the past two decades.
