It looks like Wheel of Fortune Australia is set for another spin, with a new contestant search suggesting the revived game show isn’t done just yet.
A casting notice released by UK producer Whisper North states the game show “is coming to Channel 10”, pointing to a likely return for the 2024 revival despite the network previously describing it as a short run event.
The development comes as 10 continues to shape its entertainment slate for the remainder of 2026, following the decision to shelve The Amazing Race Australia earlier this year and ‘rest’ several local entertainment formats.
Entries are open until 19 August for Australian citizens aged 18 and over who hold a valid Australian passport, reflecting the production model used for the 2024 revival.
Like last time, the Australian version is expected to again be filmed alongside the continuing UK series, with Graham Norton also expected to return as host, allowing Australian episodes to be recorded during the same studio production run.
The move also follows production of at least six themed Deal or No Deal Celebrity Jackpot Specials earlier this month, including editions featuring Australian comedians, Australian radio and podcast hosts, The Cheap Seats, Gogglebox, The Wiggles and the UFC.
If the episodes are ready in time, Wheel of Fortune Australia could join those Deal or No Deal specials, alongside The Traitors and Big Brother, as 10’s entertainment lineup for the remainder of 2026 continues to take shape.
When questioned by TV Blackbox following last year’s Upfront presentation, 10 said Wheel of Fortune Australia had been “rested”, adding the revival “was only ever meant as a short run”.
The casting process suggests the network’s plans have evolved as it continues to round out its entertainment slate for the remainder of 2026.

Run the show in Australia & have it run for 30 mins. This format they have is stupid, & the crowd making those annoying cheers when the wheel is spinning. 🙄
No one’s forcing you to watch it
Sean Brett ikr
Sean Brett yes I agree 100%
Another reason not to watch tv here
Karl Stefanovic is available!!!!…😅😅😅
Oh that’s cool
You have to go to the UK for the taping.
👏👏👏
Karl Stefanovic is now available so no need to send it overseas. Bring back the original prizes and no Big W shit and may be on to a winner.
Joshua George yes and original rules too of how I grew up to ya know
Somebody should bring back the Price is Right!!
Colin Maynard Agreed, loved when Foxtel showed the U.S. TPIR on the long defunct W in 2011, hated 7’s half baked 2012 Aussie revival!
Back in channel 9 studio would be good. Not channel 7 where it was small and have BigW prices 🙄
Colin Maynard why don’t you write a letter to channel 7 or channel nine to tell them to bring back the price is right back on tv again
Colin Maynard you could write to the US producers and get Drew Carey to come and host it 😆😆
And he would close the show with “don’t forget to get your pet spayed or neutered….”
Colin Maynard network’s are looking into it!!
Katrice – go for it, I’m shite at these
Tony Purcell with Graham Norton?? Absolutely. Love that guy 🤣🤣
It’s filmed in the Uk
Nah sorry to many rounds and we’re not saying our countenance and vowels properly like we used to in the past
The show also needs to be filmed here in Australia not the bloody UK
Can’t give Aussie a job on shore?
David Morison It’s filmed in the UK
Steve Molk this I’m aware of… but if it’s the Aussie version, do it here, give Aussie tv industry the jobs
David Morison It’s too expensive – the main talent is there, the set is there…
Steve Molk the ten news is done with green screens …. All they need is a wheel, must be one laying around after years of wheel of fortune in Aus…
David Morison no, it isn’t. Very large screens behind the presenters on set.
Steve Molk no worries, I’ve seen the 10 set up with a desk and green screens to floor.
David Morison I hear Karl is looking for a gig
David Morison why don’t you write a letter to channel 7 to tell them to bring back Australian version wheel of fortune back on tv again
Rohan Coates because 10 are doing it
After the Sony problems they still trying to ? Are you sure Sony will allow this cheap version?
David Strazdins being filmed in England with an english comedian who hosts his own weekly talk show with international celebrities all going on it. He wouldn’t be demanding a paltry sum. So no i don’t think it’s cheap
Tony Paul Fra well the last time they did this it was tied with the US show. It got cut from 10 because some dispute with Sony Pictures getting a cheap deal which had Wheel Australia tied to it. Now they going on their own with it. Must be trying pay back the US dispute
Ben Lyons fuck yeah
The last season was dreadful. Hopefully it returns to the 30 minute Australian format.
I wouldn’t mind a Greyhound Pioneer holiday to Alice Springs or a Sanyo bedside clock radio telephone or even a set of fine Selangor pewter goblets (but not the Splayds).
Sorry but he’s a terrible host.
So only expats living in England can compete ?
Ps a friend of a friend competed in mastermind from Perth. She had to pay for flights and accommodation herself. What’s the go for other quiz shows ? There’s a podcast conversation for ya Molky. ✌🏻

No point if you dont live overseas.
Jeopardy Australia is done overseas as well. Using expats.
Siobhan Murphy that was such a cheap and horrible version of the show. Some clue values were actually lower than the Tony Barber era of the show in the 90’s, and Stephen Fry came across as an arrogant prick as host.
Siobhan Murphy and it’s so shit. Stephen Fry is usually great but not the person to host Jeopardy
Do channel 10 have any plans apart from rehashing old game shows?
why is the host not an aussie celebrity?
I hope he gets a co-host this time to touch the screen to every letter to the puzzle
I am over Graham Norton. These days I find him annoying. I agree that we should have a 30 minute version with Australian presenters and not over the top like the USA version.
not the same without john burgess
do you fly you over for the show?
Matthew R Brawn No, only Aussie expats living in the UK are able to participate.
I like the game show but I not like channel 10
Australia?! 😂😂 Yeah it looks and sounds like an Australia production 😂😂😆
The fact it is filmed in Salford (that’s where “Media City” is) is the reason I refuse to allow them to do their casting calls in the expats FB group I manage.
Apart from the cash prize, I can’t see why any expat would want to go on a show, claim they live somewhere they used to live and then not be able to legally watch the show they appeared on.
Not to mention it isn’t anywhere as good as the old Channel 7 version.
Evan Davis It’s like you don’t understand television, mate. 😉
Steve Molk oh I get why they are doing it ($$$). I just don’t agree with it. 🙂
Karl is free now do the Podcast then this.
Have it produced in Australia and make it like how we used to enjoy it when Channel 7 had it.
Won’t be the same without baby John burgess , Adriana xenedies
Bring back the 7 format 30 mins episoded .
Would only watch it if it was back on 7 with John Burgess or Rob Elliott and Sophie Falkiner hosting it.

The expat FB group I manage in the UK has had numerous talent scouts apply to join in the past week or so. I deny them.
If they want Australians to appear on the show, feel free to film it in Australia. Australians pretending to live in Australia and who are ultimately unable, legally, to watch their appearance is just lazy. The aspiration for any viewer is that they have a chance (if they want to) to apply to be on the show. If it isn’t filmed near where they live (i.e Australia), then that can’t happen.
Why don’t you let your expats decide for themselves. You are denying them winning cash, prizes and holidays. As well as a chance for their family and friends in Australia to see them compete.
Hi Evan – your group, your rules. I’d offer that it’s a global TV machine trying to work around location-based tax issues and production costs, and filming where the major talent is and sets are makes heaps more sense than more than tripling production costs to film in Australia. The new normal has been here for a while…
Does anyone have a link to the casting page
Melissa Humphries
Bring back Burgo
Let me guess, you need to be in fucking Manchester!!!
I like the show…don’t care what channel it’s on but can it have an Aussie host..not thst stupid Norton or Fry
I remember my Nan would always watch Wheel of Fortune with John Burgess.
Wheel was never the same once Adriana Obscenities left
I like seeing who the contestants with be ,
It’s like “spot the weirdo”
Although Pat Sajak is retired, American version to me is better. Aussie version is nothing, because it didn’t travel the money when picking more than one consonent or even bunches. 😞
Sale of the century next 😎
My mum went on that show and won a huge above ground Driclad swimming pool!
I can’t see anything on the application that says it’s only expats living in Europe – in fact it says you need a passport to apply. Does this mean they will consider application from here in Australia? I have always wanted to go on Wheel of Fortune, and since it probably will never be made in Australia again, I would pay my own way over there to give it a go!
I successfully auditioned for the last time Wheel of Fortune was on. Larry Emdur was the host. I had to go through the original audition and 2 call backs afterwards and they canned the show! 🤣
Damian Sorensen sign up go on the show you’d be good at it
Graham Norton and Stephen Fry are both sooooo incredibly boring. They are the worst hosts of these shows.
