The new season will be 60 minutes long and comprise eight episodes, featuring high-energy segments with talent performances, comedy sketches, and candid interactions between participants and special guests.
Both shows will provide a celebration of Astro's past and present, with Gitu Gitu Apek reintroducing its humor and Tom Tom Bak bringing in a new generation of young performers.
