Paramount Australia's 2026 Upfront Event
Paramount Australia held its 2026 upfront at the Big Brother house on the Gold Coast. The event highlighted the return of Big Brother to its original network, Paramount and Ten, even though the show is officially part of the 2025 programming slate.
Big Brother's Return
The new season will feature live nominations, live evictions, and 24/7 live-streaming from the original Dreamworld site, despite the original house being destroyed by fire in 2019. This marks a nostalgic comeback to the energetic style of the early Big Brother seasons, hopefully with fewer controversies.
"It marks a very welcome return to the freewheelin’ Big Brother of old — although hopefully with less turkey slaps."
New Developments and Casting
Original Big Brother host Gretel Killeen is returning to Ten but will not be involved with Big Brother. Instead, she will host the new season of The Traitors. This is the show's third season but represents a full refresh, inspired by the format's success in the UK.
Rodger Corser hosted the first two seasons of The Traitors in 2022 and 2023, but the audience response was lukewarm.
"Rodger Corser hosted the first two seasons in 2022 and 2023, but audiences weren’t interested."
Summary
Paramount Australia's upfront emphasized Big Brother's revival on Ten, alongside fresh developments like Gretel Killeen hosting a revamped season of The Traitors.
