Upfronts 2023: What can we expect from Nine?
A preview of what Nine may unveil at its annual showcase on Wednesday.

Upfronts season is here, with Nine Entertainment Co. set to unveil its 2023 titles on Wednesday.
Nine’s event takes place at 4pm at the Big Top at Luna Park, Sydney –TV Tonight will be Live tweeting announcements.
Nine has had a strong 2022 with hits including Married at First Sight, The Block, Lego Masters and more. There have already been announcements of shows including Grown Up Love presented by Kate Langbroek.
A number of profile shows are yet to screen this year, including Parental Guidance, Buying Byron, meaning they could be pushed to 2023. Love Island is also currently filming in Spain.
There are also rumours a new Reality show called The Money Trail (or possibly known as The Summit) in which strangers are dropped in a rugged NZ mountain wilderness on a quest to claim a life changing cash prize.
Nine also needs to confirm local drama for 2023. Will that be a second season for After the Verdict? Stan drama Bali 2022 is also a Nine co-production meaning it will presumably enjoy a second window on Nine. There is also a Shane Warne bio which Nine has previously teased.
Earlier this year Programming director Hamish Turner told TV Tonight a “much-loved franchise” would also be returning to Nine -and that’s yet to happen. It does lead me to wonder if there is anything to be read into former Nine CEO Hugh Marks / Karl Fennessy’s Dreamchaser deal with Posie Graeme-Evans who has a McLeod’s Daughters prequel in development….?

2023 same as 2022 with more reality shows, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, the tentpoles are still good. Of more concern would be Netflix going Free-To-View and the effect on ad revenue. A media box that can record multiple streams is on my Xmas list.
Nine will also show the Ashes cricket tour of England, as well as French Open and US Open tennis, in 2023.
Seven has been gazumping Nine left right and centre…wonder if Nine overall can bounce back
Hi David,
The Fullbox Production website confirms Australian Crime Stories and Million Dollar Murders S2 for 2023

I am wondering whether Love Island: Afterparty with Abbie Chatfield will still air after this NRL season concludes? Because last year, they had the show with Abbie straight after Love Island.
