Acclaimed series Anh’s Brush With Fame has continued to grow in popularity season on season, but that could all come to a halt as it is revealed the future of the show is in jeopardy.

The popular series sees the comedian and artist sit down to paint a prominent figure or star while discussing their life usually in depth and in intimate detail.
However, this season could be the last as TV Blackbox reports star Anh Do is “refusing” to sign on for another series.
The ABC revealed to the publication a deal was yet to be confirmed.
“We’re still in discussion with Screentime and we’re yet to lock in the next series of Anh Do’s Brush with Fame,” the statement reads.
The news comes after two surprising revelations were made about the series: Anh paints his portraits ahead of time using photo references AND he has help from respected art tutor Paul Ryan.
“Yes it’s true, but Anh is a bit cagey about revealing how it all comes together, he doesn’t like me talking about it,” Paul confirmed to the Sydney Morning Herald.
This season marks the sixth year of the show with the Archibald finalist. In its time on air Anh’s Brush With Fame has been nominated for four TV WEEK Logie Awards – Best Entertainment Program, Most Outstanding Entertainment Program, and Most Popular Entertainment Program – and interviewed some of the country’s biggest names.
This year alone Anh has featured Jamie Durie, Dr Harry Cooper, Kate Ritchie, Peter Garrett and Gai Waterhouse, to name a few.
The comedian’s way with his guests has seen many let down their guards and open up.
“He is so amazing and so endearing, and he’s got that amazing smile that just makes you want to tell him absolutely everything – I actually have very little recollection of the whole interview, because it just went so fast and it was so relaxed!” recent guest Dr Richard Harris told SMH of his time on the show.
