Andrew Denton’s Interview gets the ‘axe’ after two seasons

August 19, 2019 10:28

After two seasons on Seven, the team behind Andrew Denton’s Interview has decided to ‘give itself the axe’, announcing on Facebook there would be no third season of the show, or the companion podcast.

The show’s second season ended last week with 634,000 metro viewers tuning in to watch an interview with former deputy leader of the Liberal Party, Julie Bishop.

The post, signed off by Denton and executive producers Polly Connolly and Jon Casimir, said the team was glad to have been able to make the show, but it felt like the right time to move on and that they had “decided to axe” the program.

I always miss watching the show even though I would like too. Reason being I never see promos showing when it is on. Even this page does not say when it is scheduled. So, maybe better advertising would create a better audience.

I loved the show. Andrew has such a great way of talking to people. Makes them open up. And all his guests were interesting.
I will miss it very much. I do think it was in a very bad time slot.
