Nine has announced an enticing slate of returning reality and unscripted favourites for 2027, led by Married at First Sight (MAFS), which will return for Season 14.
MAFS experts Alessandra Rampolla and John Aiken are back, while relationship expert Marryam Chehelnabi joins the panel next year. MAFS: After The Dinner Party will return on Stan with hosts Jules Lund, Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne all coming back.
The Block returns for its 23rd season and is heading to Sunbury, Victoria, where five teams will restore historic heritage buildings at Jacksons Hill, with Scott Cam and Shelley Craft picking up the tools again to host.
In a surprise announcement, a new Stan spin-off, The Block: The House Next Door, will stream next year and feature returning all-stars renovating a sixth property. That’s right, The Block all-stars, baby!
It’s Stan spin-offs all round, as Love Island is getting Love Island Australia: Unseen. Uncut, which will drop daily unseen footage and more unfiltered villa content on Stan.
The Golden Bachelor Australia is officially getting a Season 2, with Samantha Armytage returning as host. This time there will be two Golden Bachelors, while the women will get to decide which man they want to pursue. Love this!
The Floor returns for Season 3 with Rodger Corser and 81 contestants, including Peter Helliar, Kerri Pottharst and Love Island’s Jess Losurdo.
Travel Guides is back, with all the faves returning but joined by newbies Tom and Sarah-Jane, Fletch and Lachie, alongside Olympic swimming sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell.
However, alongside these exciting announcements, there were some shows not included in the 2027 slate, begging the question: have they been axed?
What TV shows won’t return to Nine in 2027?
A number of Nine programs are conspicuously absent from the network’s announced 2027 slate of TV shows.
The Hundred with Andy Lee has been a Channel 9 fixture since 2021, with the comedy panel show asking 100 everyday Australians to weigh in on everything from relationship dilemmas to current affairs. It returned for its ninth season in April 2026, with Sophie Monk and Mike Goldstein among its regular panellists, but there’s no mention of a tenth season in Nine’s 2027 upfront. Oh no!
Of course, this could just mean the series is being rested or paused, but time will tell if the popular panel show returns.
Space Invaders is also missing from the line-up. The decluttering and renovation series launched in 2021 and reached its sixth season in 2026, with Peter Walsh, Cherie Barber and Angie Kent helping families tackle clutter and transform their homes. Earlier this year, it was confirmed the series would be paused.
Regarding the omissions, a Nine spokesperson told Chattr: “These programs are not in the 2027 programming lineup due to our expanded sports coverage next year.”
This suggests these shows could return in the future, but the network has confirmed SHARK! has been cancelled.
SHARK! was one of Nine’s major new reality shows for 2026. The series sent six celebrities to the Bahamas to confront their fear of sharks under the guidance of shark attack survivor Paul de Gelder. Unlike The Hundred and Space Invaders, it has only aired for one season so far — and it looks like it was one and done for the new series. So long!
