New in 2026

Next year, Seven is expanding its entertainment slate with fresh formats designed to engage audiences across generations.

Caught In The Middle is the ultimate quiz battle between one duo and one hundred opponents. The duo stands at the centre of a giant LED arena surrounded by a hundred opponents. Over the course of 15 questions, they must outsmart the crowd by picking answers that match as many rivals as possible; knocking them out one by one before the opponents reach the middle and claim the life-changing jackpot for themselves.

Hosted by Shane Jacobson, the compelling new series comes from Talpa Studios, the independent global content house founded by John de Mol, the legendary producer and creator of The Voice, The Floor and many other hits. It is being produced for Seven by Talpa Studios and Eureka.

Comedy returns to prime time on Seven with a new format featuring Mick Molloy and Glenn Robbins and funny friends as guests. It is produced by Molloy Boy Productions.

SAS: Australia v England pits seven Aussie celebrities against seven UK celebrities in one of the most unforgiving environments in the world: the Moroccan desert. The Directing Staff take the recruits through hostile and unforgiving warfare environments, while testing their mental and physical ability through a series of realistic training exercises, all designed to simulate real SAS training.

The Australian recruits are Olympic gold medallists Mack Horton and Emily Seebohm, cricketer Brad Hodge, stage and screen star Natalie Bassingthwaighte, actor Ryan Moloney, reality TV star Jessika Power and musician/actor Axle Whitehead. Can the Aussies triumph in the world’s toughest test and in the end, who can make the final SAS selection? SAS: Australia v England is produced by Minnow Films and distributed by Banijay Rights.

My Reno Rules is a brand-new renovation competition that’s raising the stakes and flipping the script, with epic twists set to transform the lives of everyday Aussies. Hosted by Dr Chris Brown, My Reno Rules will be must-watch television, with four hardworking teams of Aussie battlers going head-to-head, breathing new life into two neighbouring rundown houses in a picturesque Melbourne suburb. The live grand final will see some lucky Australians receive a life-changing call telling them they’ve won a spectacularly renovated, multi-million-dollar home: fully furnished, landscaped and equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

Joining Dr Chris are style icon Neale Whitaker, top buyer’s agent Simon Cohen and interiors expert Julia Green as the judging panel. My Reno Rules is a new format produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Entertainment Company) and distributed internationally by Banijay Rights.

Dr Chris also stars in the all-new Once In A Lifetime, which sees him embark on global wildlife journeys, joined by entertaining Australian personalities (including Mick Molloy, Amanda Keller, Kate Ritchie and Matt Preston) as his untrained and unqualified veterinary assistants. Together, they help animals while navigating unpredictable and often humorous situations. Once In A Lifetime is a Happy Camel and ITV Studios Australia production.

Marking 50 years in the spotlight, Tina Arena: Unravel Me is an intimate and cinematic portrait of one of Australia’s most enduring and enigmatic artists. Told through two interwoven lenses – Tina the icon and Tina the woman – this landmark documentary from Helium Pictures peels back five decades of fame to reveal the dualities that have defined her life and the new revelations that have remained untold until now.

From Young Talent Time to global superstardom, heartbreak to hard-won independence, Tina Arena: Unravel Me traces Tina’s extraordinary evolution across continents and languages – from Australia’s sweetheart to a reinvention in France that crowned her a true global icon. Featuring candid new interviews, rare archives and appearances from friends, family, and collaborators, including Katy Perry, Celine Dion and Lionel Richie, it reveals the woman behind the legend: reflective, unfiltered and still wrestling with her own legacy.

Also new to Seven in 2026 are First Dates Australia, a fresh take on one of Australia’s most loved dating shows, and the special event The Mental As Anything Story.

The lineup of new overseas content across Seven next year also includes ITV’s Extreme Planet Earth, Operation Dark Phone and A Taste For Murder.
