Hayu FanFest is coming to Sydney next August – Hayu, the all-reality, direct-to-consumer subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service from NBCUniversal International Networks & Direct-To-Consumer, today revealed that Hayu FanFest will be making its way Down Under on August 15, 2026 – as part of the celebrations marking the 10-year anniversary year of the service in Australia; Hayu’s loyal fanbase can look forward to an unmissable, in-person reality TV fan experience like no other.
For reality superfans and novices alike, Hayu will serve up the ultimate fan event including on-stage panels and interviews – along with meet-and-greet and photo opportunities with cast from Hayu’s iconic series, immersive brand activations and access to exclusive merch.
Over the last decade, Hayu has built a loyal community of dedicated Australian fans, cementing its place in the pop culture conversation. In 2026, Hayu FanFest will provide the perfect opportunity for local brands to connect with this passionate subscriber base through bespoke sponsorship opportunities of the event, while also unlocking exclusive 7Bravo media packages.
“Marking our tenth anniversary year at this unmissable immersive event is the ideal way to celebrate our fans,”
– commented Hendrik McDermott, MD, Hayu, EMEA Networks & International Direct-To-Consumer, NBCUniversal.
“When London’s 2024 Hayu FanFest sold out in mere minutes, we knew it was only a matter of time before we would deliver the ultimate fan experience to our loyal subscribers Down Under. We’re excited to undertake this must-attend event for reality fans in alignment with 7Bravo, NBCUniversal’s free-to-air channel in the market.”
First launched in the UK, Ireland and Australia in 2016, Hayu will be celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2026. Since then, the service has expanded to 42 other markets and has established itself as the ultimate all-reality streaming destination where consumers can immerse themselves in non-stop binge-worthy unscripted entertainment.
Hayu is home to more than 10,000 episodes and over 350 of some of the world’s most popular reality series – all 100% ad-free. New must-see seasons are available to subscribers the same day as in the USA.
