Hamish & Andy returning to Nine in 2017

Hamish & Andy have signed a new deal with Nine for an unnamed 2017 series from their production company, Radio Karate.

Details of the new series, understood to not be another Gap Year series, are being kept under wraps for now.

The news follows suggestions the duo might be headed to Seven.

Michael Healy, Director of Television at Nine, said: “Hamish and Andy are unique talent in Australia and we’re privileged to enjoy a longstanding relationship with them. The Radio Karate team have now created a bold and exciting new concept that we’re excited to bring to the Nine audience in 2017.”

The comedy duo are currently on a South Pacific cruise as part of their radio show.

“We are rapt to be continuing our journey with the Nine Network and we’re going to spend the rest of the cruise working tirelessly to invent a new cocktail to celebrate the occasion,” said Blake.

Hamish and Andy appeared in five Gap Year editions on Nine, drawing bumper ratings and Logie wins, including a Gold Logie for Hamish Blake in 2012.
