Exclusive | Q2 Programming on Seven – Farmer Wants a Wife spearheads a new line-up that includes The 1% Club and the much anticipated mini series, The Claremont Murders. AFL will dominate the back half of each week.
With Australian Idol coming to a close on Sunday 26 March with a massive 2 hour live grand final, Seven will then hit the reset button with its programming schedule.
Here is a taste of what is coming in Q2:
Farmer Wants a Wife
Five new farmers are preparing to follow their hearts when Farmer Wants A Wife returns with its most romantic season ever on Channel 7 and 7plus.
For the first time on Australian television, every farmer will find real love, but who will they choose?
Thousands of eligible single ladies have applied to meet the farmers. Join as they meet their favourites, inviting a special five back to the farm to learn who will spark a love that can last forever.
Through first glances, first kisses, romantic dates and life-changing moments, this season, every farmer will know what true love feels like.
After nine weddings, five long-term relationships and 25 babies, Australia’s favourite bush fairy tale returns with host Samantha Armytage and co-host Natalie Gruzlewski playing cupid, as they guide the new crop of farmers down the road to real love.
This year’s farmers include:
Brad, 32 – Cootamundra, NSW
David, 29 – Pozieres, Queensland
Brenton, 26 – Darriman, Victoria
Matt, 23 – Bookham, NSW
Andrew, 41 – Narromine, NSW
The Claremont Murders
The disappearance of three young women in Perth in the late 1990s launched a 25-year investigation by the police and one tenacious journalist, all determined to seek justice.
From the creatives behind Seven’s compelling drama Catching Milat , this remarkable mini-series stars Ryan Johnson (How To Please A Woman, Doctor Doctor), Catherine Văn-Davies (The Twelve, Barons), Aaron Glenane (Shantaram, Snowpiercer), Laura Gordon (Undertow, Late Night With The Devil), Andrea Demetriades (Pulse, Janet King), Craig Hall (Boy directed by Taika Waititi, and Peter Jackson’s King Kong), Jeremy Lindsay Taylor (Underbelly Razor, Puberty Blues), Tasma Walton (Mystery Road, How To Please A Woman), Joel Jackson (Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door, Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries), Tom O’Sullivan (Molly, Alien: Covenant), Dalip Sondhi (Pulse, Frayed), Erik Thomson (How To Please A Woman, Aftertaste), and actor, radio host and author Kate Ritchie (Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities, Home and Away).
Seven will also return Crime Investigation Australia to the schedule with a one off episode on The Claremont Murders to accompany the mini series.
The 1% Club
A game show like no other, The 1% Club is already a runaway hit in the UK and an all-new Australian version will arrive on Channel 7 and 7plus in 2023. People of all ages and backgrounds can be part of The 1% Club because, unlike most quizzes, they don’t need to brush up on general knowledge to do well. All they need is logic and common sense.
One hundred contestants begin every show, but to make it to the end and win the top prize, contestants must correctly answer a question only 1% of the country would get right. The show starts by asking a question that 90% of the country got right (based on a sample of answers given by people across Australia) and then goes on to ask questions that smaller and smaller percentages answered correctly. Hosted by acclaimed Australian comedian, actor and writer, Jim Jefferies, star of the FX sitcom Legit and Comedy Central’s The Jim Jefferies Show, The 1% Club is produced by BBC Studios Australia and New Zealand forthe Seven Network.
Accused
A crime anthology series where viewers are taken on the journey of the defendant. Each episode opens in a courtroom on the accused, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, “Accused” holds a mirror up to the current times with evocative and emotional stories. Viewers discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in an extraordinary situation, ultimately revealing how one wrong turn leads to another, until it’s too late to turn back.
The Rookie: Feds
The Rookie: Feds is an American police procedural crime drama television series and spin-off of The Rookie. Created by Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter for ABC, the series follows Simone Clark, the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy. Niecy Nash-Betts, Felix Solis, Frankie Faison, Britt Robertson, Kevin Zegers, and James Lesure were cast in starring roles. The series basic premise and its characters were introduced through a two-episode backdoor pilot in The Rookie.
