Celebrity dinner parties are about to get a competitive twist as Come Dine With Me: Celebrity Philippines premieres on HBO Max on 23 July, bringing together some of the country’s biggest personalities for a reality series where food, hospitality and entertainment take center stage.

Adapted from ITV Studios’ globally successful format, the original series follows Filipino celebrities as they take turns hosting dinner parties in their own homes. Each host aims to impress fellow celebrity guests with their menu, styling and overall dining experience, all while navigating candid conversations and unexpected moments.

The 20-episode season features personalities including Ogie Alcasid, Martin Nievera, KaladKaren, Maymay Entrata and Marina Summers, among others. The series is produced by ABS-CBN Studios.

The first four episodes will drop on the premiere day. Four new episodes will then be released every succeeding Thursday until the season concludes.

Blending cooking, competition and celebrity interactions, the show promises lavish tablescapes, honest critiques and plenty of drama as each host vies to earn the highest scores from their fellow diners.
