Ten in 2021: Makers, rescue dogs and inventors join Bachelor(ettes), Masked Singers and Masterchefs
The three additions to Ten’s programming slate next year are family-friendly formats which each “do something different”: A local version of the Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman-fronted craft show, Making It, a series about adopted dogs set inside a rescue shelter, and a show exploring Indigenous innovations.
Ten’s boss Beverley McGarvey told Mumbrella ahead of this afternoon’s upfronts presentation that the network wants a “consistent, fun schedule that our audience and our clients want”.
Making It – the biggest announcement of the three – is a competitive reality show hosted by comedians, and a big franchise in the same way Masterchef is, according to McGarvey. She said the “aspirational, inspirational and fun” series will do for craft what Masterchef did for food, and air straight after the cooking show’s run.
