Is this new?
I think he means NCIS Sydney
Just for Laughs Sydney 2024 is taking this place this week and next week (November 18-28), with the main event, the All-Star Gala, to be held at Sydney Opera House this Saturday night, November 23. Like previous years, the performances may be filmed for a series of specials to air on 10 next year.
Is Hunted back this year?
No confirmation yet.
If I had to guess, Iâd say they may rest it for a year before deciding whether to go again.
Mixing up the format last year with the Heist to start the episode didnât probably work as they expected.
I see that Big Brother is surprisingly not mentioned either.
Seven still owns the rights to the format and brand until the contract expires on 1 July 2025.
They are still airing repeats of their recent seasons on 7flix and 7plus.
I believe 10 is unable to advertise or promote the show until then.
Ten have said that it will sceen in Quarter 4.
Hunted is usually filmed from February to March. However, the lack of on-screen advertisement calling for contestants in the past few months suggest it wonât be shot this year.
The end of the year does include a new treat -a Christmas movie for Paramount+ and 10, Staycation.
âItâs a joint commission. So it will play on both platforms at the same time. Partnering with Ludo Studios just made the most sense. Itâs a really good script. Itâs exciting, itâs family, and itâs funny. Weâve had it in development for a long time. Maybe they wonât all make sense, but this one made sense.â
I really hope they can work something out with Thank God Youâre Here. It is very working dog though to want a break from shows.
I know they want to protect quality and integrity of their output but to be turning away work from thirsty networks surely isnât the best business decision.
Iâm sure ten would have approached them many times for more TGYH, cheap seats and HYBPA eps a year and they never do it.
But maybe they just donât want to grow any bigger than they are and therefore holding out is the best business decision for them.
The article and Danâs comments are a bit confusing and contradictory tbh.
It says itâs not returning with âno season of Thank God Youâre Here in 2025â but then goes on to say Working Dog are taking a break and pursuing other projects while also saying they havenât confirmed a series, they havenât recommissioned it, and theyâre working through it now.
Guess it leaves the door open (no pun intended) for a possible series to still air this year
Remember, Working Dog used a similar approach with Thank God Youâre Here during the Bourne era. If I recall correctly, it started in much the same way as this current âhiatusâ period. Back then, it ended with both the showâs format and its host moving to a rival network. (Not saying that will necessarily happen again, though.)
Interestingly according to this feature.
After all, they currently have a trio of popular shows â Have You Been Paying Attention?, Thank God Youâre Here and The Cheap Seats â all returning this year.
