The high-stakes briefcase game that kept the nation on the edge of its seat is officially back.
ABS-CBN’s hit game show Kapamilya Deal or No Deal is set to make a grand return for its sixth season this weekend, bringing the suspense back to television screens starting Saturday, April 25.
Steering the ship once again is the “Pambansang Host” himself, Luis Manzano, who will lead a brand-new set of “Lucky Stars” through the nerve-wracking process of choosing the right briefcase.
A Star-Studded Birthday Bash
The premiere weekend is pulling double duty as a massive two-part birthday celebration for Manzano. To kick things off on Saturday, the host will be joined by the most important women in his life: his wife, Jessy Mendiola, and the “Star for All Seasons,” Batangas Governor Vilma Santos-Recto.
The festivities continue into Sunday’s episode, where screen veteran Jodi Sta. Maria steps up to the podium to test her luck against the Banker’s tempting offers.
Meet the New Lucky Stars
This season introduces a diverse mix of personalities making up the first batch of “Lucky Stars.”
The 20 celebrities holding the briefcases include:
- Music & Variety: AC Bonifacio, Bassilyo, Jeremy G., and Jopay Paguia.
- Social Media & Comedy: Negi, Long Mejia, Red Ollero, Christine Samson, and Inah Evans.
- Screen Favorites: Cris Villanueva, Eric Fructoso, Aubrey Miles, Jameson Blake, and Diego Gutierrez.
- Fresh Faces: Arizona Brandy, Asia Yoona, The Aguinaldos, Kolette Madelo, Rave Victoria, and Ynez Veneracion.
New Season, Same Heart-Pounding Rules
The mechanics remain as tense as ever. In every episode, a celebrity player will be selected from the 20 “Lucky Stars” via a roulette draw.
The chosen player must then decide whether to stick with their assigned briefcase or swap it for another, all while the original Banker returns to deliver those infamous, game-changing phone calls.
