NETWORK 10 is preparing for a major television shake-up in 2027, unveiling a star-studded programming line-up.
It will feature the return of Australian Ninja Warrior, Junior MasterChef Australia and Australian Survivor, alongside new reality shows, true crime documentaries and major international sporting events.
The network revealed its plans at a special presentation held at the MasterChef Kitchen at Melbourne Showgrounds, pictured, confirming a mixture of returning favourites, fresh entertainment formats and high-profile personalities designed to attract Australian audiences.
Among the biggest announcements is the return of Australian Ninja Warrior, with wildlife conservationist and television personality Robert Irwin joining Beau Ryan and Georgie Tunny as hosts.
The popular obstacle-course competition will feature a redesigned course and a new generation of competitors, with filming expected to take place in Melbourne.
Junior MasterChef Australia is also making a comeback, with celebrity chef Poh Ling Yeow joined by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, to mentor aspiring young cooks.
Meanwhile, Australian Survivor: Rivals will launch Network 10’s 2027 programming year on January 11, bringing together sporting personalities, television identities and everyday Australians for another season of physical challenges and strategic gameplay.
David Genat will return as host, with the series taking over the network’s traditional January entertainment slot following the cancellation of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
