Dust off your racing shoes, prepare for devious treachery and surprise entrances through a blue door before the guessing games begin! Your favourite family-friendly shows are returning to 10 and 10 Play.
In 2023, we welcome the return of the much-loved comedy show, Thank God You’re Here, hosted by the wonderfully talented Celia Pacquola along with a team of new judges, a new ensemble cast and a new generation of comedians ready to walk through the iconic blue door into an array of sticky situations. Fast paced, quick witted, lively and hilarious, Thank God You’re Here is back, and we can’t wait to see what we’re about to walk into.
This year, the biggest race around the world is heading in a new direction in an exciting new series, The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition. They say travel is the ultimate test of any relationship, and for the celebrities joining us this season, it will be no ordinary challenge.
Our celebrities and their race partner will be met at the starting line by our larrikin host Beau Ryan, who will be sure to throw twists and turns their way as they race across the globe. From culture shock, meagre budgets and the pressure of a non-stop race, our star racers will be tested in ways we’ve never seen before.
It’s the treacherously gripping series that has taken the world by storm. The Traitors Australia will return to its mysterious manor, where we will see Australia’s most cunning contestants play a game of deception, suspicion, and betrayal. With $250,000 in silver bars up for grabs, there will be some dangerously high stakes in trying to unmask and survive the murderous Traitors.
Award-winning and celebrated actor Rodger Corser returns to host the enthralling and nail-biting second season of the sought-after international hit franchise. Keep your eyes peeled, Australia. You may be surprised to see a few familiar faces grace your screen.
The craziest guessing game on TV returns. The Masked Singer Australia will continue to delight all ages with big hits, huge celebrities and epic masks. Amongst them, the most Aussie mask of all time, a loveable green villain who might just be our most bonkers mask yet. Mel B, Chrissie Swan, Abbie Chatfield and Dave Hughes are back on deck, alongside host Osher Günsberg, as they to try to out-guess you from your couch. Get ready for wild cards, more surprise moments, and a step back in time to relive some of the best music eras ever!
And returning to 10 and 10 Play on Monday, 15 May for its 11th season is Have You Been Paying Attention? Quizmaster Tom Gleisner is back with a fresh deck of questions from the world of showbiz, televised quests for love, celebrity scandals, sporting sagas and triumphs, and the antics of our headline-grabbing politicians. Show regulars, Sam Pang and Ed Kavalee return to answer all his questions and race to take the first jab at Tom’s expense.
Hosts of The Cheap Seats, Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald are returning to Tuesday nights from 9 May, picking up where they left off as satirical news anchors who poke fun at the major headlines and everything in-between, from celebrity missteps to viral cat videos. Delivering a unique millennial flair to the small screen, the pair are joined by cultural correspondent Mel Tracina, and sport expert, Titus O’Reily who share their two cents on the week’s events.
Daniel Monaghan, Senior Vice President Content and Programming, Paramount Australia and New Zealand said:
“We’re so looking forward to bringing back these fan favourite, engaging and entertaining franchises this year. In 2022, we saw The Amazing Race Australia, The Traitors Australia, The Masked Singer Australia, Have You Been Paying Attention? and The Cheap Seats entertain audiences nationwide. And with the addition of Thank God You’re Here to our 2023 programming schedule, the home of quality entertainment is on 10 and 10 Play. So, get ready Australia – we can’t wait to show you what we have up our sleeves!”
I’m looking forward to the Cheap Seats & Have You Been Paying Attention returning.
Where have all the dramas gone. Bring them back
Excited for the return of Hunted, The Traitors, and The Masked Singer. Can’t wait to see what the new TGYH is like, especially with judges, rather than a singular judge. And as for the Amazing Race Celebrity edition, with the right cast, this could be epic.
