Sam Pang Tonight is sticking around, with Channel 10 confirming today that a fresh batch of episodes will hit screens later in 2025.
The variety-comedy show will return for another eight-episode run after delivering the network’s biggest new show launch since 2022, though TV Blackbox understands a second run of episodes was always on the cards.
While the renewal is positive news for the show which airs its fourth episode this evening, it comes as ratings have settled below its launch high of 799,000, dipping to 467,000 for its third episode.
If the show can consistently maintain these figures, it could build a loyal audience in the 8:30pm timeslot—a slot and format that has often been overlooked by the networks.

Back By Popular Demand – Sam Pang Tonight Confirmed For Second 2025 Season
It’s been a long time between drinks for Australian tonight shows, but this year, Network 10 is giving audiences a double shot: that’s right, Sam Pang Tonight is coming back for season two.
Sam Pang Tonight will bookend the year with a fresh eight-episode run in late 2025. Expect more laughs as Sam takes on the week’s news and welcomes a bunch more guests, including local legends, engaging experts, and comedy mates playing the part of Special Guest Announcer.
Will the crowd-favourite Wheel of Segments return? Hard to say, but turns out there’s no shortage of people willing to be pushed into a Christmas tree.
Sam Pang said:
“I’m thrilled to be coming back for Season 2. I’m very grateful to Channel 10 for their support and commitment to the show and giving me the opportunity to continue doing something I love.”
Daniel Monaghan, Senior Vice President Content & Programming said:
“It’s always a thrill to share a fresh new format with viewers, and we’re absolutely delighted with the success of Sam Pang Tonight.”
“Aussies are loving Sam’s signature comedy style so it’s no surprise Sam Pang Tonight was 10’s biggest new show launch since 2022.”
“We’re excited to keep the laughs rolling with a second season confirmed for the back end of 2025.”
