The iconic reality program will open doors of "Bahay ni Kuya" for the first time to welcome GMA Sparkle artists, alongside ABS-CBN's Star Magic talents. This milestone marks the 20th anniversary of PBB.
With this, PBB's newest season will now be called "PBB Celebrity Edition Collab."
"Together, Kapuso and Kapamilya stars will collaborate and create unforgettable moments inside the PBB house," ABS-CBN said in a statement.
This collaboration between ABS-CBN and GMA Network will be the first in the history of the reality show as it only aired on ABS-CBN, cable TV, and through online platforms in its previous seasons.
The two networks previously teamed up on the 2023 primetime series "Unbreak My Heart," which starred ABS-CBN's Jodi Sta. Maria and Joshua Garcia and GMA 7's Richard Yap and Gabbi Garcia.
Last year, another historic event happened as GMA and ABS-CBN inked a deal for the noontime variety show It's Showtime for its airing on the main GMA channel.
In the most recent edition of "Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11," Fyang Smith was declared "big winner" in a historic finale that set an all-time high with 2.26 million concurrent viewers on ABS-CBN Entertainment's YouTube and Facebook channels.
