In the final episode of the AACTA and Logie-nominated Hard Quiz Kids, another plucky gang of 10–12-year-olds put their knowledge to the test and see if any of them can rattle their grumpy quizmaster.
The chosen topics in this episode are Dungeons and Dragons, the Inca Empire, Lilo & Stitch, and Modern Family. Let’s play, HARD!
Looking forward to this episode as I have a keen interest in public transport in Melbourne.
ABC Showcase announced Hard Quiz Kids returning with a new season in 2026.

The ABC is thrilled to announce that a brand new season of Hard Quiz Kids launches at 6am, Friday 9 October on ABC iview before airing at 7:30pm, Saturday 10 October on ABC Family.
Hosted by Gold Logie award-winning comedian Tom Gleeson, the popular Hard Quiz spin-off sees a new crop of bright and cheeky junior experts go head-to-head.
With his trademark grumpiness and wicked humour, Tom will grill the kids on their expert subjects including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Doctor Who, The London Underground, Wallace and Gromit, Dinosaurs, Black Holes and Super Netball.
Over four bespoke rounds of trivia the kids try to outsmart Tom, and each other, for bragging rights, glory and the coveted Big Brass Mug.
