Seven has unveiled its 2027 entertainment line-up, with new reality, game, documentary and wildlife programmes joining returning favourites on Australian television and its 7plus streaming service.
The slate was announced at Seven Media Group’s 2027 Upfronts, where managing director and chief executive Rohan Lund said the company’s role was “to meet Australians where they are”.
