Foxtel locks in a further two seasons of Gogglebox

Gogglebox Australia will return for another two seasons in 2018, Foxtel confirmed today.

The program, which sees everyday Australians watch television shows from the week and provide their commentary, is now in its sixth season and runs on both Foxtel and Ten.

Viewers can expect an additional two seasons of Gogglebox in 2018

This season, the show’s premiere on Ten had 824,000 metro viewers. Last week, its metro audience was 618,000.

Hannah Barnes, general manager of the Lifestyle Group said Gogglebox continues to hold the record as the number one audience in Lifestyle Channel’s history.

“Viewers clearly can’t get enough of their favourite households giving their take on the week’s TV, so we are thrilled to be able to confirm another two seasons for next year, and extend the length of each series,” Barnes said.

Gogglebox Australia is produced by Endemol Shine Australia. The two new seasons will increase from eight to 10 episodes each and will premiere on Lifestyle.

Ten confirmed it will continue to run the series.
