Gogglebox Australia will return in 2025 but a few changes are being made…
For starters, Foxtel — who has broadcast the show since 2015 — did not renew Gogglebox Australia.
Instead, the show will continue in a “new form” on Channel 10. It is slated to premiere on Thursday, February 20, 2025.
Furthermore, the Silbery family won’t be in the 2025 season of Gogglebox Australia.
Taking to Instagram on November 29, 2024, Isabelle Silbery shared:
“It’s with a very heavy heart to announce that Mum, Ruby and I will not be returning to Gogglebox in 2025.
“Foxtel have decided not to renew our beloved show and although the show will continue on Channel 10, the three of us have not been included in its new form.”
Isabelle went on to share that she joined Gogglebox nine years ago in the hopes of showcasing “real women’s voices across multi generations,” and that it was lovely to have her daughter Ruby fill in for her grandmother Emmie in recent seasons — Emmie was sadly diagnosed with dementia in 2023, so did not appear in the last two seasons of Gogglebox Australia.
“It has been an absolute pleasure sharing our lounge rooms with you all and cannot thank you enough for the love and support,” Isabelle concluded.
What is Gogglebox Australia?
The reality show, based on the British series of the same name, follows various Australians as they watch and comment on the week’s popular television shows and films in their own homes.
Yes, the whole concept is for you to watch other people watching TV but it’s much more entertaining than it sounds!
So entertaining in fact, that Gogglebox Australia has won five Logie Awards!
Is there a new series of Gogglebox Australia 2025?
Yes! As aforementioned, Gogglebox Australia will return in 2025 but only on Channel Ten and 10Play — not Foxtel.
The new season starts on Thursday, February 20, 2025.
Who’s on Gogglebox Australia 2025?
As mentioned above, the Silbery family will not be on Gogglebox Australia in 2025.
So far, no other major casting news has been announced; we’ll keep you posted!
How much do they get paid on Gogglebox Australia?
There’s never been an official confirmation of how much Gogglebox Australia cast members get paid.
However, in early 2022, it was falsely reported that Hamish Blake and Zoë Foster Blake were paid $500,000 for appearing in one episode of Celebrity Gogglebox.
The Daily Mail soon after wrote an article claiming that the cast members were furious upon learning this as they are allegedly only paid a “$1200 ‘location fee’ per house for each day of filming”.
Hamish cleared up the false report in April 2022 though and told The Kyle & Jackie O Show that he and his wife were definitely not paid half a million dollars.
“That blew me away,” Hamish said.
“Do you know how much we got paid? $5000. Five, zero, zero, zero. Everyone gets the same thing!”
Why did the Kidd family leave Gogglebox?
The Kidd family — parents Stuart and Janet, son Michael, his wife Elena, and youngest son Roger — appeared in the first two seasons of Gogglebox Australia.
Producer David McDonald said they did not return for Season 3 because of availability issues.
Sadly, Stuart died in May 2018. The Season 8 premiere of Gogglebox Australia was dedicated to him.
Why is Sarah Marie not on Gogglebox?
Matty, Sarah Marie, and Uncle Jad joined Gogglebox in 2017. Matty and Sarah Marie’s son Malik also appeared on the show.
However, Sarah Marie decided to step back from Gogglebox in 2023 after she gave birth to her and Matty’s second child, Leon.
She did not return in 2024 either. However, on Valentine’s Day 2025, the show hinted that she might return with a sweet post on its Instagram. It showed Sarah Marie and Matty smooching on the couch.
Watch previous seasons of Gogglebox Australia now on 10Play.
