Network 10 to Rest I’m a Celebrity as Producer Shops Format to Rival Broadcasters

The decision frees ITV Studios Australia to offer the proven jungle format to other networks after 10 reviewed costs and let its exclusivity lapse.

Overview

  • Network 10 announced on Friday that it will rest I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! for 2027 as it refocuses its schedule across platforms.
  • ITV Studios Australia confirmed the show’s exclusivity with 10 expired in April and said it will now take the format to market with other broadcasters and platforms.
  • Internal reviews at Network 10 repeatedly questioned whether the production’s high costs could be justified, a factor the network cited in its decision.
  • Hosts Julia Morris and Robert Irwin thanked the show’s team and audience and Network 10 said it hopes to work with them on other projects next year.
  • The series has been a consistent ratings draw since 2015 and strong viewing this season makes the format commercially attractive, which increases the chance rival networks such as Seven or Nine may bid for it.
