Pinoy Big Brother: Otso is the eighth main (fourteenth overall) season of Pinoy Big Brother which premiered on November 10, 2018 and ended on August 4, 2019 on ABS-CBN. This is the fourth special edition of taking different batches, civilian adults and teenagers, together to compete to win. Toni Gonzaga and Robi Domingo reprised their roles as hosts.[1] Alex Gonzaga, who hosted All In, returned to the show together with former winners Kim Chiu and Melai Cantiveros as new hosts. Bianca Gonzalez reprised her role as host upon the entry of Batch 2 Star Dreamers.[2]

Four batches of housemates, two civilian adults and two teenager groups, compete to be the winner of their respective batches. By the fifth batch, all finalists from each batch return to compete for eight slots in the finale. The show concluded with Yamyam Gucong being declared as the winner of the whole season.[3][4][5]
