After months of speculation as to whether the series would return with a new season,[2][3]Telecinco originally announced the new season of GH VIP in June 2021 to air later that year.[4]
In July 2021, Mediaset España announced that this series would then air sometime in 2022.[5] However, GH VIP 8 ended up being replaced by the Spanish adaptation of Secret Story[6] during the 2021-2022 season.
On June 15, 2023, Telecinco formally confirmed the return of Gran Hermano VIP for September 2023, with new host presenter, economist and comedian Marta Flich[7] coming in to host the main show, replacing Jorge Javier Vázquez, [8] and Ion Aramendi taking over hosting duties for the weekly debate show.[9]
This season comes after the longest hiatus the Spanish adaptation has ever endured in its history.[10] The hiatus surged after Telecinco & production company Zeppelin faced backlash after the sexual assault incident that took place during the last civilian series,[11][12] which aired in 2017 and that went into trial while Gran Hermano VIP 7 was reaching its final weeks on the air. Said boycott provoked a massive loss in advertisers for the show at that time.[13] On that press release, both network and show's production company, made an agreement that a stricter protocol will be used when it comes to sexual assault situation that might happen while a season is taking place.[14]

17 housemates entered in the first night. That same night, figure skater Javier Fernández was announced to enter in a later day. In the first Debate, at Day 4, Pedro García Aguado was announced as "a mole" instead of him being a real contestant. Javier Fernández joined the rest of the houseguest on Day 8, during the second "Gala".

Repechage
Luca, Sol, Pilar, Albert, Luitingo, Marta and Avilés would face a voting that will decide which 3 of them will return to the house as candidates to officially become as official housemates. Only two of them finally became housemates. After Avilés was evicted, he was given the chance to join the repechage but he refused to take part in.
The repechage was officially announced on Day 53 (Noviembre 5, 2023). The 3 most voted housemates entered the house on Day 57, however the housemates had the power to bid for an evicted housemate but they rejected to do so, for this reason the third most voted evicted housemate entered as candidate.
