In July 2025, game show hostWillie Revillame confirmed his comeback to TV5 after an unsuccessful campaign for Senator in the May 2025 election.[1] It was reported that Wowowin will be revived as well as a second program called Wilyonaryo.[1][2]Wilyonaryo shares the same name as the segment in the previous run of Wowowee on ABS-CBN.[3]
On November 2, 2025, Revillame released a teaser for Wilyonaryo.[3][4][5]
Revillame confirms his return to TV5 amidst rumors to the contrary with a contract signing with TV5, MediaQuest, and Cignal, in November 28, 2025. As part of the agreement, Revillame will be given his own channel named WilTV where Wilyonaryo will be aired.[6] There were plans to air the game show in TV5 but was put on hold due to portions involving gambling, specifically a raffle game.[7]
Originally on December 21, 2025, however this was postponed to January 25, 2026 due to the expansion of the studio in Mandaluyong.[8]
On January 25, 2026, Wilyonaryo made its premiere.[9]
On January 27, 2026, Wilyonaryo moves to 12:00 p.m. slot on the same time with the sister program Eat Bulaga!.[citation needed] The program will conclude on May 15, 2026 as it struggles to attract advertisers because of its online gaming component. Despite the TV program's end, the online gambling website will continue to operate. Revillame is instead focusing on reviving his popular game show, Wowowin, which is set to return in May with a new studio.[10]
