The last time TVB held Mr. Hong Kong was in 2017. Though the competition was suspended sporadically for several years, the station decided to bring it back in 2021 to source for new talent.

At TVB’s 2021 Sales Presentation, a creative video clip was filmed announcing the return of Mr. Hong Kong. Filmed in a suspenseful manner as if they are recruiting for the next James Bond, former Mr. Hong Kong Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪) and current Miss Hong Kong Lisa Tse (謝嘉怡) are seen coolly suiting up the next potential candidate to prepare for his next challenges.
