“And our results prove it once again with more top entertainment shows than our competitors and more of Australia’s favourite comedies.
“We’re also immensely proud of the performance of Paramount+ as Australia’s fastest growing streaming service for a third year in a row and it’s the success of local series like breakout hit Fake, as well as Last King Of The Cross, The Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers and noisy smash hit Aussie Shore that shows we continue to commission and produce fresh and engaging local content across all genres and platforms.
“We know that we’ll continue to build on this success in 2025 bringing back our fan-favourites and popular formats and welcoming some incredibly exciting new shows. There’s Big Brother returning to its original home on 10 as well as Sam Pang’s new weekly show, also drama Playing Gracie Darling on Paramount+ as well as NCIS: Sydney season two, plus comedy series Ghosts, The List, and more.
“But to start the year we’ll be taking families into the jungle with I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returning to its summer viewing sweet spot with Robert Irwin and Julia Morris putting our campmates through grisly tasks and trials, all for our entertainment.”
