Season 2 of the original Australian version has been nominated in the non-scripted entertainment category of 52nd International Emmy Awards, against The Bridge South Africa, Me Caigo De Risa (Mexico), and Restaurant Misverstand (Belgium). The winners will be announced in New York on November 25.

Has there been any news on S3 of Summit

For a show that Nine has an stake in (co-creator of the format), you would think they would be pushing the show and producing a 3rd season to emphasis how successful the show is (even if the viewership was mediocre) to encourage format sales.

Nines upfronts are this Thursday, will probably know more then.

Saw an interview with the host of the US version, Manu Bennett. He looked so familiar, yet so different.

Then I realised why? He once starred in Aussie soapie Paradise Beach when he was still known as Jon Bennett.

UK version confirmed.

He’s the Eddie Everywhere of the UK. :laughing:

I knew they were waiting to sell this overseas before swinging the axe.

It is not axed completely. Pending on the success of overseas versions, it may return to Nine in 2026.

I doubt it will. Trust me.

CBS is 100000% not renewing it for season 2, not doing good in :us:

Season 2 of Australian version premieres on TVNZ 2 in New Zealand on Wednesday January 8, 2025 on 7pm.

The Summit, developed by Nine with Endemol Shine Australia, has been picked up in a number of other countries now, but after two seasons is not set to return to its own turf.

“The Summit is still a show that we’d be looking at what we might be able to do with it moving forward. It’s not currently in the slate, obviously, for 2025. But it’s done very well internationally.”

They gave it two seasons locally. It’s expensive to produce. I wouldn’t bet the house on it returning.

No surprise.
