2016: Still to Come

Big events still to come in Drama, Reality & Sport this year.

2016-06-30_1618

As we approach the mid-point of the TV year, what’s still to come on Television?

There are certainly some big events coming in Drama, Reality and Sport.

Everything hinges around the Olympic Games from August 5 – 21. Networks will be unveiling big shows when the Games conclude (only a handful will be seen while they are underway).

Here’s a list of highlights still to come, based on Upfronts statements and several thereafter.

The list is not conclusive, doesn’t include Sport, nor US Fall shows, ie. TEN has confirmed upcoming US titles but it’s unclear when they will screen (including 24: Legacy, Prison Break, The Exorcist, MacGyver, This Is Us, Pitch, Bull and Doubt).

Similarly, Nine also has Doctor Doctor, Travel Guides and Unreal Estate but hasn’t not confirmed for 2016 screening. Gruen is also expected on the ABC. Seven recently advised dumping The Day the Cash Came.

  1. ABC seem to have a good line up which is great, channel 7 also have a few interesting programmes, channel 10 come next for me and not much on channel 9 that I would watch.

  2. David, do you know which channel Big Little Lies will be on on Foxtel? Really keen for that one, the author is one of my absolute favourites!!!

  3. Didn’t know that Upper Middle Bogan was coming back, or is this the US version? I watched this on Netflix and it is now my favorite Aussie comedy.

  4. I know this is a what’s coming up on free to air article but the show I’m most interested and looking forward to watching is the new episodes of Gilmore Girls on netflix.

  5. I’m interested in new seasons of Broadchurch and Humans, and Gogglebox. Don’t care about the rest. I will probably watch one episode of Australian Survivor to see if it’s any good

  6. There are also all the US shows returning from September / October on Foxtel, where they are genuinely and consistently fast tracked, not just as a gimmick for a couple of weeks like the FTA networks do.

    There are a couple of shows on 7 that would be worth a look but unless they go HD in Sydney, i’ll give them a miss. Though I guess the 6,000 people in Sydney who watched the AFL on Thursday on 7 Mate night would have appreciated the HD coverage.

      1. Nothing to do with AFL fans and everything to do with the fact that AFL does not rate well at all in Sydney (especially when non Sydney teams are playing), yet channel 7 keeps 7Mate as HD for a very small audience and their main channel as SD for a significantly larger audience. It doesn’t make sense to me.

    1. For me: MasterChef GF, Bachelor, Bachelorette, Brock, DWTS, Olympics, AFL Grand Final, Melbourne Cup, Bathurst, Australian Survivor & Offspring excite me.

      I agree, Ch 9 have nothing (although Peter Hitchener’s news is good).

      Seven are #1, hence have the #1 sport code 🙂

      That would be Sydney… Who had around 80,000 watch an AFL game a number of weeks ago on 7Mate!?

      NRL… Which is failing in Melbourne & even being beaten by Perth 😀

      1. Has the comments policy changed or is it just double standards? A few months back I had a comment blocked that was much less inflammatory than this and was told comments were not allowed that started code wars. AFL is a fine sport, it just doesn’t rate well in Sydney, especially when non Sydney teams are playing.

        1. No change. Context is everything. I viewed your comment as an observation about Seven’s HD strategy so it was approved. I do take a very dim view of code wars so I’m monitoring. Moderation is always a work in progress not a science. But let’s all get back on topic.
