Robert Irwin's Reality Series Has Been Canceled After a Decade

I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has officially been canceled following a decade on the air.

Mediaweek reported that Australia's Network 10 pulled the plug on one of its signature reality franchises for the upcoming year, meaning it will not air another season in 2027.

"We have made the decision to rest I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2027 as we focus on offering our audience a range of content on all platforms," the statement read.

The series was co-hosted by Julia Morris and Robert Irwin, who returned to his duties this year following his win on another reality competition, DWTS, where he took home the Mirrorball Trophy.

Of the co-hosts, the statement expressed, "We look forward to working with Julia Morris and Robert Irwin on other projects."

The local edition of the competition series, first launched in 2015, has been hosted by the beloved wildlife conservationist for three seasons since 2024, following Chris Brown's exit in season 10.

The reality competition series gained popularity in the UK and Australia, with a very short-lived stint in the U.S., with its format taking celebrities out of their normal lives and dropping them into a jungle camp where they must fend for themselves, all while facing off in challenges and earning the public's adoration to avoid being voted off.

The 12th and now-final season premiered on January 18, 2026, on Channel 10 AU, which he called the "most intense," "most challenging," and "most emotional" season to date.

Irwin has not publicly commented on the cancellation just yet; however, he has been prioritizing more personal projects.

He previously revealed his post-DWTS project, working at the Crocodile Hunter Lodge at the Australia Zoo, announcing in a video that he was very excited to be "heading back home" and thanking fans for all the love throughout his entire journey.

Reactions to the cancellation have been mixed, as some noted, "They've run out of 'celebrities'" and "Thank god for that!!!! NOW put something decent on the telly," while others expressed disappointment, writing, "That sucks I really enjoyed watching this show was funny and heart wrenching."
