Development edit
On December 13, 2023, during the ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2023, along with the announcement of a schedule of upcoming shows set to launch by ABS-CBN in 2024, a new season of Pinoy Big Brother was officially revealed.[2] On April 17, 2024, the season's official title "Gen 11" was revealed.
During an Instagram Live session on April 6, 2024, Laurenti Dyogi, ABS-CBN's Television Production Head Unit and Head Director, announced that Star Hunt would oversee the casting process for the upcoming season, starting with auditions for Pinoy Big Brother and extending to auditions for Star Magic and aspiring P-Pop idol trainees for ages 13 to 32 years old (even though Dyogi mentioned a limited age range from 13 to 25 years old on his Instagram Live). Dyogi specified that open casting calls would be held in Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Additionally, Dyogi confirmed the season's initial premiere date of June 2024 during the Instagram Live session.[3][4][5]
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. ABS-CBN issued an advisory[6] on April 16, 2024, debunking these misleading "casting calls." The public was advised to be vigilant against scammers falsely representing themselves as part of "PBB" and asking hopefuls to audition.[7]
Auditions edit
For the first time since the now-concluded COVID-19 pandemic broke out in 2020, physical auditions returned for this season and began on April 27, 2024. Like the previous seasons, the auditions for adult and teen housemates (ages 16–32) were held simultaneously. Online auditions will also return; dates for these will be announced soon.

Overview edit
Logo edit
The logo for Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 was totally different. The eye had similar gradient used on the tenth season but slanting right inspired by, and colors from, the Philippine flag. The text was slanting right and colors also changed, spanning shades of blue and red of the text Pinoy Big Brother while neon white color on text Gen 11 with a typical house on background covered with neon white lights.
House edit
The other facade of the House (also known as House B in Double Up) was demolished in May 2023 due to expiration of its lease.[9]
Hosts edit
Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, and Enchong Dee are set to reprise their roles as the main hosts of the season. This will be the first full season without Toni Gonzaga as the main host since the inception of the Philippine franchise in 2005.[10]
