What we know so far:
The sixth season of Celebrity Apprentice will start filming in Q4 this year, once Lord Sugar comes out of hotel quarantine
The producers of The Block are looking for potential sites in Byron Bay
Filming of the next season of Married at First Sight has been delayed due to COVID, but they are still aiming for February premiere
Big questions:
What will be Nine’s next drama after Amazing Grace pulled disappointing ratings even with MAFS as lead-in?
Will The Weakest Link be back?
Will Nine consider buying broadcast rights to three of 2022’s major sporting events - ICC Twenty20 World Cup in Australia; Birmingham Commonwealth Games; Rugby League World Cup in England?
Water Rats would be good. As would McLeod’s Daughters.
I can see why they want to do another reboot in this environment but it would be nice to have new ideas commissioned. Even if they do an adaptation of an overseas drama like Line of Duty.
The current lineup of factual/lifestyle repeat —> Reality encore —> Pointless —> Tipping Point is doing quite well at the moment so I don’t see them changing that up for now.
