EXCLUSIVE: TV Tonight understands Hot Seat is moving to Queensland to film new episodes.
Production is relocating for 7 weeks to film episodes after it was denied a chance to restart at Docklands Studios following The Masked Singer COVID outbreak. Producers had already mapped out a COVID safe plan with no audience and perspex screens.
Host Eddie McGuire is understood to be entering a quarantine period.
This also places him firmly in (current) AFL territory where Collingwood Football Club is based in a hub. He also has Triple M radio and FOX Footy commitments.
Key production personnel and the Hot Seat set will also travel to Queensland.
The production drift from Melbourne is now increasing after The Chase relocated to Sydney. While Seven’s shift is permanent, Hot Seat plans to return to Melbourne.
Nine is expected to confirm the announcement tomorrow.

Where do I sign up to be a contestant? I will never need to leave Queensland for anything ever again.
See new Auditions post.
I hope Eddie is going into 2 weeks hotel quarantine as per everyone else except Minogue!
And yet LEGO Masters was allowed to film episodes in Melbourne ?
Someone’s playing favourites !!
Lego date is outside of Stage 4 restrictions (unless they are extended). Work was allowed under S3.
What does this mean for footy classified will there be a different host on Wednesdays instead of Eddie
Video screen maybe. Kane Cornes does it from Adelaide on Monday episodes.
New episodes? Is this a joke?
David, do you know why Nine decide not to air the English Millionaire?
Yes I updated previous story.. they decided to wait until it can air in all markets, not just select states on Friday nights.
Thanks 😊
David is there any word on where they will be filming? Nine has a studio up on Mt Coot-tha but I assume that is used for News.
Without an audience I assume they could film it in a very small space.
I believe Gold Coast Convention Centre.
Ohhh how convenient Eddie’s going to Queensland just before the finals series!
Being a Queenslander I might finally get called to be contestant – 3 years after my audition 😂
Three years is nothing. I’m in NSW and I’ve been waiting for nine years! But if you’re living in Victoria, it’s a different story!
This is great for Eddie, because he will now be able to attend the AFL Grand Final in Brisbane also. Just saying. 😉
With his beloved Collingwood already in Queensland I bet he his loving it
