Channel 7 spokesperson reveals if Big Brother is being axed

 

It’s been confirmed that Big Brother Australia won’t be returning to screens this year, and reports suggest that the reality TV show has been axed for good.

TV Blackbox originally reported that the show had been cancelled following its lowest rating season ever in 2023. However, they’ve since clarified that while the axing hasn’t been officially confirmed, it won’t be back on TV in 2023.

The news originally came from journalist Luke Dennehy during an appearance on Perth radio station 6PR about Big Brother Australia’s future.

A spokesperson for Channel 7 has since stated that the channel is “still considering [the show’s] future”.

The show’s future was shrouded in uncertainty after the finale aired in December 2023, and a spokesperson wouldn’t confirm the renewal of the series to Chattr.

“Big Brother performed well for this year in under 40s and, in particular, on 7Plus – both live streaming and video on demand. We will make a decision on a new season in due course,” a Seven spokesperson said.
