The jungle is roaring back to life, with Seven officially confirming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! will return in 2027 after finding a new home.
The announcement, made during Sunrise this morning, follows months of speculation after TV Blackbox exclusively revealed the series had been axed by 10 and was being shopped to rival broadcasters by ITV, before 10 later confirmed it would not return.
The long-running reality series first launched on 10 in 2015 and quickly became a breakout success, turning celebrities’ fears, friendships and jungle antics into one of Australian television’s most recognisable entertainment franchises across 12 seasons.
There were signs the franchise was entering a new phase before its cancellation was confirmed. The final season was pre-recorded rather than broadcast live, marking a significant departure from the format that had defined the series for more than a decade.
Following 10’s decision not to continue with the show, ITV Studios, which owns the format, shopped the Australian rights to rival broadcasters, with Seven ultimately securing the franchise.
Before its cancellation was confirmed, discussions had centred on several possible futures for the format, including an All Stars edition to celebrate the show’s milestone run.
Those plans ultimately failed to materialise as ITV Studios instead pursued a new broadcast partner.
Seven is yet to reveal where the revived series will sit within its 2027 schedule, or whether any of the show’s on screen talent will make the move.
Julia Morris and Robert Irwin hosted the show’s final three seasons on 10, while Irwin has an established relationship with Seven after being announced as host of the 2026 TV WEEK Logie Awards.
Another familiar face who could find himself back in the jungle is Dr Chris Brown, who hosted the series alongside Morris from its 2015 debut until leaving 10 in 2023.
Brown most recently fronted My Reno Rules for Seven and will next be seen in the new adventure series Once in a Lifetime.
With Dancing with the Stars absent from Seven’s schedule and My Reno Rules not expected to return next year due to its production turnaround, Brown is certain to feature in speculation should Seven decide to revisit the hosting lineup.
Southern Cross Media Group Managing Director, Television and Streaming, Angus Ross, said Seven was excited to usher in the next chapter for one of the world’s biggest entertainment formats.
“This is a proven franchise with a passionate fan base and we look forward to bringing our own fresh energy and ambition to its next chapter.”
ITV Studios Australia CEO and Managing Director David Mott said the company was looking forward to launching a new era for the long-running franchise after more than a decade on Australian screens.
“For over ten years, Australian audiences have loved this iconic show, and with terrifying trials, hilarious camp drama and heartfelt celebrity revelations, ITV Studios Australia is ready to deliver a brand-new era for the Jungle.”
The move also continues a long-standing trend of Australia’s biggest television formats changing networks.
In recent years, Australian Idol, Big Brother, Dancing with the Stars and The Voice have all found new homes after switching broadcasters, with Australian Ninja Warrior also expected to rejoin the list as 10 prepares to revive the format.
Beyond confirming the series will premiere on Seven and 7plus in 2027, the network is yet to announce filming details, celebrity casting or who will lead viewers back into the jungle.

Lauren Wilson havnt watched it since day 1

Eric Robert Simpson thanks for the update
I hope Julia won’t be going to 7 she is so stupid
If Irwin is on it, leave me out. He is even more obnoxious than his brain dead sister.
Just don’t give it to sonia Kruger or chris Brown can’t stand them
Jess Southway Sonia hosts everything on 7. Annoying.
Jess Southway i cant stand the othe 2 on the show or the show….
Not Julia please…and no influencers in the “celebrity” lineup
All the Labor voters watch this crap.
Mark Williams Glen i voted Labor and don’t watch it. You’re an idiot. 🤦♀️
Siobhan Murphy Me an idiot, and your the one that votes Labor, and you tell people that you vote Labor 😆 FFS, you, you vote Labor 😆 why ? just tell me why ? Is it albanese’s statesman like presentation ? is it that fact that his word is his bond ? is it his lying way or the way he has Australia falling behind other developed countries, maybe its his voice 😆 really you vote for all that, Siobhan you are the reason Australia is falling behind. You vote Labor 😆 if it wasnt sad it would be funny.
Mark Williams Glen a great and justified response! 🙂🙂🙂
You voted for Labour… You’re an idiot
I won’t be watching, I don’t like the program.
Oh no..there are none left
Michelle Pearce-Denovan interesting, channel changes happening 🤔…
I wonder if Chris will host.
Flogging a dead horse – should have buried it years ago.
Too much reality already on 7. Please no more.
Nev Volker who cares reality is good on TV
only watch if angela cox & mel mclaughlin are in the jungle.
Brett Polsen Who?
Well that’s just another bunch of wannabes and yesterday’s nobodies.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Desperation
I do watch sht on TV not that Sht
same thing happened with big brother lol channel 7 got from channel 10, destroyed it. same will happen with this.
People are over reality tv and free to air. i think the only way for the free to air to bring back viewers is with good quality drama. but its clear people in charge have no idea.
Greg Mc it’s because scripted drama costs money the networks no longer have. Reality TV is cheaper to make which is why there’s so much of it
Aaron Pearce …and reality programs rate much higher…
Aaron Pearce and reality tv js able to be stripped with 90 min blocks.
Spot on Greg. Give our Actors work instead of wanna be people
Greg Mc actually 9 got it from 10 destroyed ratings and then 7 got it and made it the US/Canada format but forgot they have it live
Greg Mc 7 poached Big Brother from 9.
Greg Mc i bed your pardon. How dare you. I worked most of my life. I never received super. I simply live on a pension and you are degrading me. Wtf
Cause i cant afford pay tv. Scum
More b graders trying for the last 15 minutes of fame.
Cruel show, should be banned.
Doesn’t matter to me I don’t watch it
HARD PASS!!
YES!!!
Why do 7 always pick up the left over axed shows
Andrew Fielding get them for a bargain
It was cancelled for a reason…!
Lets hope julia morris isnt hosting for channel 7
Brain dead show
Yeh I do enjoy the show.
It was speculated to go to seven
Another 💩 show
Lynne Bedford get both of them out of here. Cant stand them or the show….
Oh ffs 🤦♂️
Who f….. cares
Here’s a twist Bindi is a contestant and kick all their butts
🤦
A job for Chris Brown ?.
Mark Illingworth not that bastard, should stick to being a vet 🤮
I hope it’s same Hosts. 🙏Carlotta AM 💃
Low iq show for low iq audiences. 🤮
Anton Anthony Powell so you know the show well mate
Steve Jones Na, I was smart enough to understand the entire program in the first twenty seconds and changed channels. Also, we have known the hosts for years and know enough from that alone. Try thinking bud.
Sadly channel 7 has a habit of absolutely ruining a show so will wait and see.
Let me guess. Chris Brown as host once again?
Craig Murray I hope not, you’re right though
FFS no wonder FTA is dying. Recycling the same shows and picking up rival network sloppy seconds and failing to invest in new genres or formats is why FTA is withering and on life support.
It’s amazing they have no money for RFDS season 4 but can find multiple millions to invest in some Z grade irrelevant celebs.
Ah well to those that watch enjoy and make sure you catch all those Trivago, Life Insurance and Vagisil ads.
Hope you announce the hosts soon ?
Steve should have dropped Bobby in the crocs mouth.
Russell Kajewski get excited 🤣
Colin Dionysius any money u got the clowns get gold logie
Colin Dionysius i’m a celebrity get me outta the closet
Fuck no 😩😩😩
Can Channel 7 also pick up The Project?
People watch Home and Away maybe that will showcase network network lefties channel9
Omg I hope this is fake news
Please no
Pass again with those hosts!
great more trash tv it has had its day give it rest
Bad buy channel 7 crap show.
Just not Julia and mummy little boy eney way he will be too busy sucking mummy tits
I like the format, can’t stand the hosts and unless theygett decent hosts and actual celebrities ill continue not watching.
Bewdy. I love this show. Don’t mind who hosts it.
Go away
Never seen 1 episode
Not Julia!!!!!! Anyone but her!!
Oh no!!
WHO CARES!!!
Not Julie to OTT
Brain dead TV for the masses with 2 imbeciles hosting it.
Channel10 still going downhill next year
Thank god I don’t watch channel 7
Am soooo tired of seeing Robert Irwin time and time again on Facebook.
Must be a tax writer off buying a dead show
Can’t stand either of them
What a lot of garbage
wtf is wrong with 7 hahaha
Bring on some older shows that you haven’t rehashed year after year. Bring on some new OLD shows we haven’t seen for a decade. We have seen the same VERA’S , FATHER BROWN’S for several years.
Idiots
Please not Robert
Pat Welke no Julia 🙅♀️😅
Time to boycott Channel 7 for picking up I’m A Celebrity!
Boring not my type of show
Julia leave
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Sydney Australia ❤️ 🇦🇺
I’ll be watching. Bring it on 👏
Another shit show on 7
Oh no😭😭😭
Oh nooooo. 💩💩💩
What a waste of money 7 is going downhill fast
Is it April 1st ?
Get rid of these 2 and it might be worth watching
Is little chompers starring?
No thank you!!
SUCKERS!
another reason not to watch seven.
That is why the Logies are on channel 7 because Robert Irwin is on channel 7
I’m A Wannabe
Just when you thought it was gone for good.
Both flogs .
Need to be gone .
After all these years of Julia laughing about the contestants, which I never watched, I probably would watch the show if the only two contestants were Julia Morris and Chris Brown, see who would be laughing then!. I think it would only be fair to turn the sides.
What a crap show
Absolutely horrible idea 7 why are you taking on more stupid reality shows that we don’t want Bring back decent shows Make new drama shows like Homicide, Blue Heelers etc Get rid of the crap You are going to keep losing viewers to streaming if you keep doing reality crap
And?
No thanks
I have to wash the cat ! 🤨
Drop Julia tho!
More free to air TV shit
Boooo
No
Another crap show.
