With casting calls open for contestants, that means the show is returning to 10 in 2027.
Ratings wise, its been okay. Monday and Tuesdays been good. Rest of the week, very hit and miss. I do wonder how it compares to 2025 (the 7pm slot).
How many episodes were commissioned for this year? Will they play them all out this year, or will they go towards next year? If they film new epsiodes soon, i wonder if thry film enough for the whole of 2027? Or play it safe, and film enough for half a year? And go from thereâŚ
Tuned into last nights episode, I think it was a repeatâŚquite unlikable contestants. Not sure if they cast people in a way we hate-watch the program but from the dude swinging in his chair making up teachers names to having 4 or 5 older men left in the game made it a little unbearable. Hard to watch.
MILLIONAIRE HOT SEAT NOW SHOOTING AT NUNAWADING STUDIOS/TV City
Nunawading Studios is delighted to welcome Millionaire Hot Seat, with the iconic Australian game show now shooting from the Melbourne studio complex.
The arrival of Millionaire Hot Seat continues an exciting period of production activity at Nunawading, with the studios once again busy with television, film and screen productions.
Matt Batten from Nunawading Studios/ TV City said:
âWe are absolutely delighted to have Millionaire Hot Seat at Nunawading Studios.
âWith so many game shows having been produced from these studios over the years, itâs fantastic to have another major Australian game show shooting here.
âThere is a real energy around the studios at the moment. Productions are coming through the doors, sets are being built, crews are working and the cameras are rolling.
âOur focus has always been on getting these studios busy again and creating a facility where major productions want to come and work.
âHaving Millionaire Hot Seat shooting at Nunawading is another fantastic step forward, and weâre absolutely thrilled to have the production here.â
Nunawading Studios continues to attract new productions, with its large studio spaces, production offices, construction and storage areas and extensive onsite facilities providing productions with the ability to operate from one location.
Nunawading Studios is open for business â and the cameras are rolling.
Hopefully was a cheaper studio to hire for the production company and 10 so they can continue to find savings across their shows to minimize axing in this day and age of cost cutting.
Glad that it is returning to our screens for 2027.
Glad that Nunawading Studios will be used again for local television. Even if all episodes are filmed in a small block late this year (or early next year)?
As there will still be episodes from this year to be rolled over onto next year, from memory.
I looked up where the Nunawading Studios was.. I see itâs actually in Forest Hill, so thatâs a bit misleading!
Particularly if you are a contestant coming in from interstate and will need rely to on public transport to get there, and it doesnât look like itâs near a train station. And doesnât look like the trams go out that far⌠Whereas Docklands was much easier to get to.
The route 75 tram travels along Burwood Highway with a stop on the intersection with Springvale Road. From there it is a 10 minute walk up Springvale Road and Hawthorn Road to the front gate of Nunawading Studios.
Bus 902 stops at the Hawthorn Road intersection which features a 7-Eleven service station. The bus route travels to Nunawading and Glen Waverley train stations.
Yes, would certainly be cheaper to put production studios in the outer suburbs where land/rent is cheaper and location isnât an issue from a production viewpoint.
