I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is coming back to Australian screens in 2027 — but on a brand new network. Seven Network has acquired the rights to the long-running reality series after Network 10 axed it in May, Variety Australia confirmed. The move ends the show's 12-season run on Ten and hands it to one of Australia's biggest broadcasters.
Seven will air the series on its main channel and streaming platform 7plus. ITV Studios Australia will produce the show, partnering with Southern Cross Media. No cast, hosts, or launch date have been announced yet, Pedestrian.tv reported.
Ten Drops the Show After 12 Straight Seasons
Network 10 dropped I'm A Celebrity in May after running it for twelve consecutive seasons. Ten said it wanted to focus on content across its platforms and would look to work with former hosts Julia Morris and Robert Irwin on other projects, according to Mediaweek. The cancellation left a major gap in Australian reality TV.
The show had been a reliable performer for Ten since its Australian debut. But after more than a decade, Ten chose to step away. Seven moved quickly to fill the void, snapping up the rights just over two months after Ten's exit, Head Topics reported.
Seven Promises a Fresh Era for the Franchise
Seven executives say the network will keep the show's core format — celebrity trials, jungle drama, and big personal moments. Angus Ross of Southern Cross Media and David Mott of ITV Studios Australia both called the deal a major opportunity. Mott said the move would bring "fresh energy" to the franchise, according to Variety Australia.
Seven plans to make the show a tentpole entertainment property — a flagship series built to anchor its 2027 lineup. The revival was officially confirmed on Sunrise, Seven's top-rating breakfast show, giving the announcement maximum visibility, Pedestrian.tv noted.
Who Will Host? Cast and Crew Still Unknown
Seven has not yet named a host for the 2027 season. Julia Morris and Robert Irwin fronted the show for Network 10, but their futures with the format are unclear. Ten said it hopes to work with both on other projects, Daily Mail reported. That suggests neither is locked in for Seven's version.
The 2027 celebrity cast is also unannounced. Seven says it will feature "an all-new cast," but gave no names or hints. A launch date has not been set either. Fans will have to wait for more details as Seven builds toward its planned 2027 premiere, according to Mediaweek.
ITV Studios Behind the Global Format's New Chapter
Lifted Entertainment created the I'm A Celebrity franchise, which began in the UK and has since spread across the globe. ITV Studios Australia holds the local production rights and will make the Seven version. The global format's proven track record made it an attractive pickup for Seven, Variety Australia noted.
The deal signals that I'm A Celebrity still has strong commercial appeal in Australia. Seven is betting the show's mix of celebrity stunts, survival challenges, and unscripted drama will pull big audiences in 2027. The network now has nearly two years to build buzz before the cameras roll, Head Topics reported.
