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.

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.
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.
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]

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] |

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 |
