Fans were left baffled when Channel 10 did not mention Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen in its 2026 line-up of shows.
The network unveiled its 2026 programming slate at its Upfronts event on November 6, but notably missed out the game show, leaving fans wondering if it had been cancelled.
The show returned to our screens this year, with comedy legend Anne Edmonds taking the hosting reins from Shaun Micallef.
The reboot also had Dave Hughes captain Gen X, Tommy Little championed Gen Y, and Anisa Nandaula led Gen Z.
However, the network have now finally provided an update on whether the program will be back in 2026.
Scroll on for everything you need to know.
Is Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen being cancelled?
“We can’t make a decision when it’s being run,” Paramount Australia’s Vice President, Content Tamara Simoneau told TV Tonight.
“We have to wait for all the data and numbers and then figure it out. It’s going well, it gets an Encore run that gets a great number too, so it accumulates some shows, that’s their superpower.”
On November 7, sources told TV Blackox that network executives were pleased with the show’s performance, and a decision was yet to be made.
The publication revealed that two unaired seasons of Taskmaster Australia are ready to go, so could take precedence instead. Ten has already confirmed that Taskmaster is returning in 2026, starring Rove McManus, Brett Blake, Celia Pacquola, Joel Creasey, and Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen captain Anisa.
We will have to wait and see if Anisa is a part of both shows, if Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen is renewed, or if it’s cancelled.
The final episode of the revived series aired at the beginning of November, and Anne gushed about it on Instagram.
“Love making this show, Anisa, Tommy and Dave, hope you’ve loved watching it,” she wrote, encouraging others to watch it.
It might not be all grim for the show, because Dave commented on the post, saying: “You are a natural host and I’ve loved working on the show. Bring on 2026!”
Anne then replied with “See you there!”
She also liked a fan’s reply, asking if that meant we could expect another season in 2026.
It’s fair to say that the show’s future is uncertain, but we will have to wait and see.
