Next year 10 brings home some of its most beloved Aussie shows and welcomes a host of brand new, homegrown hits.
One of the stars of Have You Been Paying Attention? and fresh from another stellar job hosting the Logies, Sam Pang is creating and starring in his very own weekly show on 10.
Daniel Monaghan, SVP Content and Programming, Paramount Australia said: “Sam Pang has been part of the 10 family for over a decade and we’re delighted to have commissioned his brand-new show for 2025.
“Sam’s quick wit has kept Aussies laughing for years, and we know his fresh new program will give audiences exactly what they want.
“We are currently in the final stages of development, and we can’t wait to share it with viewers in the new year.”
Next year, 10 welcomes Big Brother home to the network that first introduced this reality TV juggernaut to Australian audiences.
Hosted by Mel Tracina, the resident cultural correspondent on The Cheap Seats, audiences can expect the authentic, OG show you fell in love with all those years ago, including live nominations, live evictions, a brand-new home, engaging housemates and non-stop hijinks.
Mel Tracina said: "I was one of the millions of Aussies captivated by Big Brother when it launched on Channel 10 in the early noughties.
“The show has such a loyal and passionate fan base, and I am excited to help bring back the show's original spirit (minus the flip phones and bum dancing)."
The lineup of housemates will include a fascinating cross-section of relatable, everyday Australians who audiences will be able to interact with in real time. This exciting Big Brother revival will launch across all Network 10 platforms in quarter four of 2025.
Daniel said: “Big Brother, the show that started it all, is coming back to 10 where it belongs. It’ll be bigger, better and bolder than ever before and we are thrilled to welcome Mel Tracina as host.
“Mel is a self-confessed reality TV junkie who will bring so much energy and passion to this revitalised series.
“With 24-hour live streaming, live nominations and live evictions, viewers won’t dare miss a moment of the drama as it all unfolds in real time. Get ready Australia - Big Brother is watching.”

From Japan to South Africa, Germany to Finland and Malaysia to India, The List promises an itinerary high on laughs and awkward and unexpected situations. The List is coming to 10 and Paramount+ in 2025.
Rounding out the year with a good dose of festive cheer is Staycation, a feature-length, live action Christmas movie from Ludo, the producers of the smash hit series, Bluey. This madcap comedy sees a dysfunctional middleclass family attempt to survive their Christmas break at home, only to find themselves accidentally mixed up with some very dangerous characters indeed.
With more than a nod to the uproarious National Lampoon film franchise, this Aussie comedy will be ready to unwrap Christmas on 10 and Paramount+.

Once again, our two tribes are separated by smarts and strength, before battling it out on the beaches of Samoa for the title, the glory, and half a million dollars.

Cheer on some of Australia’s most celebrated players including George, Shonee and Kirby as they face off against superstar players from Survivor South Africa, Norway, New Zealand, and of course the U.S., which will be represented by Survivor legends Parvati, Tony and Cirie.

And because there’s no rest for the wicked, host Tom Gleeson and his trusty sidekick Tom Cashman will be back in the new year to put another bunch of celebs through their paces. The Taskmaster Australia Season 4 line up will see Tommy Little, Emma Holland, Lisa McCune, Takashi Wakasugi and Dave Hughes forced to think laterally and maybe fail literally.
Daniel added: “2025 will showcase a super-charged schedule of addictive, premium content on 10, with fresh home-grown hits rolling out right off the bat in January starting with I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and continuing all the way through to December with Big Brother. It’s a diverse slate of brilliant entertainment mixing audience favourites with brand new shows destined to be viewers’ new obsessions.”

And the current season of Thank God You’re Here continues to keep us laughing every Wednesday night when Australia’s funniest performers step through the blue door into the unknown.
Here's a question. What motivates people to do, well, ‘questionable’ things? Todd Samson is on a mission to find the answers in his new series, Todd Sampson’s Why?.
Todd Sampson said: “‘Why?’ It’s our very first question. Our way of understanding the world. This series explores the ‘whys’ of some of the most fascinating people on the planet. We’ll dive into the death-defying desires of base jumpers, explore the forward-thinking doomsday preppers, investigate the tangled life of a donor dad and delve into the mystical world of an alien church.
“Some ‘whys’ may never be fully answered, and some may be hard to swallow. But it’s by understanding others that we better understand ourselves.”
Here’s another ‘why’ question: Why is 2025 looking so exciting for 10? The answer is simple. When you’re onto a good thing, you stick to it. That means the return of popular hits The Dog House Australia, Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly Australia, Deal or No Deal and the Logie-winning Gogglebox Australia.
It means our sharks are back to take a bite out of the next big business idea when Shark Tank Australia returns in October. This time, we’re thrilled to welcome new sharks Maxine Horne and Nick Bell, who’ll join returning investors Davie Fogarty, Jane Lu and Robert Herjavec.

That’s right, it’s everyone’s favourite wheel-based gameshow with Graham Norton in primetime later this year on 10.
Many of your favourite international dramas are heading our way in 2025 too, including all new seasons of Law & Order: SVU, Elsbeth, FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, FBI International, NCIS, NCIS: Sydney, NCIS: Hawai’i and the latest addition to the NCIS franchise, NCIS: Origins.
