More Family Food Fight to Air Down Under

Oz’s Nine has given the go-ahead to a sophomore season of Endemol Shine Australia’s Family Food Fight, a cooking competition format.

Family Food Fight looks on as Aussie families vie for the chance to be named “Australia’s Number One Food Family.” The show’s first season broadcast in the final four weeks of the 2017 ratings period. The second installment is due to debut next year.

Michael Healy, the director of television for Nine, remarked: “We’re really proud to have brought a fresh cooking format to Australian audiences and are confident that it will grow to be an even more solid contributor to Nine’s family-friendly slate next year. Viewers have told us they loved the combination of everyday families with accessible, home-cooked meals. Family Food Fight laid a great foundation for us in the final quarter this year to create a compelling second [season] in 2018.”

Mark Fennessy, the CEO of Endemol Shine Australia, added: “We’re extremely proud of this original cooking format and delighted it’s been so warmly supported by our partners at Nine. We look forward to bringing viewers a second helping of good humor, healthy family rivalry and incredible home cooking.”
