| Season chronology | |
The eleventh season of Pinoy Big Brother, subtitled Gen 11 (short for Generation 11), premiered on the Kapamilya Channel on July 20, 2024.
Development
The show began auditions outside the country on September 2023, hence confirming the show's return. It was until two months later that a new season of Pinoy Big Brother was officially confirmed on December 13, 2023, during the ABS-CBN Christmas Special, which presented the network's program line-up for 2024.[1][2] The season, the first to air in two years, is subtitled Gen 11, emphasizing the season's focus on housemates from Generation Z.[3] ABS-CBN Television Production Head Unit and Head Director Laurenti Dyogi initially confirmed that the season will premiere in June.[4][5][6] However, the season's premiere date would ultimately be set to July 20.[7]
Auditions

On April 6, Dyogi announced that Star Hunt will oversee the casting process for the upcoming season along with auditions for Star Magic and aspiring Star Hunt Academy trainees, beginning with on-ground auditions in Metro Manila, and then in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the following weeks.[6]
Auditions for Gen 11 began on April 27 and marked the return of physical auditions after it was discontinued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Like in previous seasons, the auditions for adult and teen housemates (ages 16–32) were held simultaneously. Online auditions began on May 29, and ended on June 16, 2024. A total of 35,906 auditioned for this season, with 20,157 coming from on-site auditions via Star Hunt and 15,749 coming through online auditions. Among them, 67 were selected for the final casting.[8][9]

False casting calls
Unauthorized audition calls falsely claiming to be open casting calls for ABS-CBN shows such as Pinoy Big Brother, FPJ's Batang Quiapo, and Senior High's sequel, High Street, were widely circulated on social media.[when?] In response, ABS-CBN issued an advisory on April 16, 2024, to debunk the misleading casting calls and advise the public to be vigilant against scammers falsely representing themselves as part of the show's production.[11][12]
Timeslot
The show airs at 10:15 p.m. (PhST) every weekday after High Street and at 8:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 9:30 p.m. on Sundays, after Rainbow Rumble.[13]
Overview
Logo
The logo for Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 features significant changes from the logos used in past seasons. The logo's eye is identical to that used on the tenth season, which features gradients inspired by the colors of the Philippine flag, but slants rightward. The text Pinoy Big Brother also slants rightward and has a gradient spanning shades of blue and red. The season's subtitle Gen 11 is featured below with a white neon color. Below the text is an outline of a house in neon light.
House
The façade of the House was repainted in yellow and blue. The other façade of the House (also known as House B in Double Up) was demolished in May 2023 due the expiration of its lease.[14] The interior of the house has also been updated, repainted, and furnished in an arcade-theme. The living area features a large version of the current graphical eye's logo in addition to pixel arts of José Rizal, the GomBurZa, and Melchora Aquino. The pool area had been painted with clouds and trees in the style of an arcade. The confession room was also repainted and renovated.
Hosts
Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, and Enchong Dee, collectively known as Pamilya ni Kuya (lit. 'Big Brother's family'), reprised their roles as the main hosts of the season. This is the first full season without Toni Gonzaga as the main host since the inception of the Philippine franchise in 2005.[15] On June 20, 2024, former Kumunity 10 celebrity housemate Alexa Ilacad was named one of the presenters for the season and its digital companion shows.[16][17]
Livestream
Every day from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 a.m., viewers can watch the show live on the e-commerce app Lazada through LazLive. There are four distinct live streams available for viewers to choose from: the main stream, which will showcase the entire house, the dining area, the living room, and the pool area.[citation needed]
Sponsorships
The show has partnered with mobile payment app Maya, which will serve as the season's official voting partner. The show's other major sponsors include Unilever beauty products Cream Silk and Pond's, Coca-Cola, as well as Lazada.[18]

Special | On launch night, after the housemates noticed eleven platforms in the pool area, Big Brother greeted them and announced that they were not housemates, but rather houseguests. They were assigned a special task to become one of the eleven "official housemates" and entice the other housemates to do the same in a meaningful way. They were given an hour to complete this task. In reality, they were all housemates. This was a test to determine their commitment and willingness to stay inside the house.[22] | All housemates | Passed[22] |
| 2 | Secret | On Day 1, Big Brother assigned Dingdong and Patrick a series of secret tasks to keep their relationship hidden until further notice. At the live launch, they were told that only one of them could enter; Patrick chose to enter the house. First, Big Brother gave Patrick the key and a letter to open the pool area. Then, Big Brother tasked Patrick with becoming a "official housemate" on their special task so that his partner Dingdong could enter the house. | Dingdong & Patrick | Pending |
