Nine pulls the plug on hit reality show amidst quest for new stars
- Replies 33
TV networks have to keep their content fresh and engaging to hold viewers' interest and keep those ratings high.
This means being able to make the tough decision to axe programs that don't bring in the audience numbers.
Unfortunately for fans of this reality series, Nine Network has recently made the call to cancel this much-loved program.
Channel Nine has decided to cancel the reality series My Mum, Your Dad after just two seasons.
The show, hosted by Kate Langbroek, followed a group of single parents on their quest for love, with a twist—their adult children were secretly orchestrating their dating lives.
According to TV Blackbox, Channel Nine confirmed on Tuesday that the show would not be returning, citing that ‘2024 is a big Olympic year and it won't be in the schedule’.
The news of the cancellation reportedly leaked before several Nine employees were even informed of the decision.
Interestingly, the show's production house, ITV Studios, had published an online casting call for the 2024 season as recently as September.
However, the casting website now states that casting for season 3 has 'closed'.
My Mum, Your Dad has faced a struggle with ratings since the lacklustre debut of its second season in November.
The 2023 season premiere drew in only 290,000 fans in the metro ratings, a significant 26 per cent drop from the show's debut episode in 2022, as reported
This cancellation is the latest in a series of axed shows by Nine in recent months.
In May, the network discontinued the family-friendly cooking show Snackmasters after just two seasons and ten episodes.
Snackmasters, based on a British format of the same name, challenged skilled chefs to recreate the taste of Australia's most-loved snacks. However, its metro ratings fell to 311,000 by the end of its second season.
In September, Nine also confirmed that their adventure series Rush had been axed. Hosted by Survivor star David Genat, the Amazing Race-inspired series debuted to a meagre metro rating of 301,000 in July. The show failed to impress viewers, with just 270,000 fans tuning in for the season finale.
Adding to the list of cancellations, Millionaire Hot Seat has also been cancelled after 14 years on air. The game show, hosted by Eddie McGuire and boasting 15 seasons, wrapped up in November.
While the cancellation of these shows may be disappointing for fans, it's worth noting that Channel Nine is likely to introduce new programming to fill these slots. The network has a history of producing successful reality TV shows, and it's likely that they will continue to experiment with new formats and concepts.
As always, the world of television is constantly evolving, and while it's sad to say goodbye to beloved shows, there's always something new and exciting on the horizon.
