The Silberrys are out but there is a returning face to Gogglebox this season when it screens exclusive to Network 10.
After a break from the couch, Sarah-Marie returns alongside husband Matty, son Malik and Uncle Jad.
Returning favourites include The Delpechitra Family; grandparents Lee and Keith; best friends Anastasia and Faye, and family of four The Daltons.
Also returning to their sofas are best mates Adam and Symon; brother and sister Tim and Leanne; surfers Milo and Nic, friends Kevin, Bob and Jared, and sisters Mia and Bree and their good friend Lainey.
After a late change last year, Foxtel is no longer broadcasting the long-running show.
Gogglebox Australia is an Endemol Shine Australia production for Network 10.
Thursday, 20 February at 7.30pm on 10.

Hopefully the Silberys will return back some time…sad that they were the only family cut because of the move, no idea why they were only ones.
This seems like a pretty good get for Channel 10, and I think they would have been crazy to let it die in the wake of Foxtel dumping the show. It will be interesting to see if the ratings see a lift with Foxtel fans switching over to Ten as well.
Gogglebox leaving Lifestyle might see the show receive slightly higher ratings (compared to 2024 levels) for Ten as a product exclusive to their network, but I wouldn’t expect a major increase. The FTA screening was already significantly higher than the Foxtel one – although it’d be pretty worrying if it wasn’t – and it’s unclear how many of the 100-something thousand viewers who tuned in on Lifestyle, caught the show again when Ten ran it the following night.
Ideally they should avoid reviewing the same shows every episodes. With the first of their 2024 seasons I recall they reviewed Married at First Sight in four of the five opening episodes which is just silly frankly.
If we are lucky maybe less of married at first sight.
Married At First Sight is also produced by Endemol Shine, so I wouldn’t be holding my breath for a reduction in MAFS reviews on Gogglebox!
Now the show’s not airing on Lifestyle, perhaps there’ll be a bit less content from Foxtel reviewed and slightly more from other streaming services, but I think the mix from FTA is likely to remain mostly the same as it’s always been. What *might* change with Ten-exclusivity: Reviews being slightly timelier, with the possibility of shows from as recently as that week’s Monday or maybe even Tuesday making it on-screen the relevant Thursday.
Ten seem happy for the Gogglebox cast to pop up on other shows of theirs, so we’ll probably see more of that. Hopefully we’ll eventually see older couples and families with kids again as future additions but suspect a further demographical consolidation to the 25-54 age range (Lee & Keith might have to watch out) is more likely.
As for the 7.30pm timeslot, wasn’t Ten looking to move Gogglebox there last year?
There were some 7:30 plays yes, but I think there was an agreement it would be an 8:30 show with Foxtel for the main…. you will see 10 comment about changes next week.
Really interested to see how this show goes now without Foxtel’s input… don’t screw this up Network 10!
Given the show is produced by Endemol Shine, there really shouldn’t be any noticeable difference.
There are subtle differences, cast changes, new timeslot. Foxtel was always very strong that the cast not be seen elsewhere, and might we see changes to the content viewed?
