TVNZ Renews My Kitchen Rules Australia

Endemol Shine International has renewed its deal with Television New Zealand (TVNZ) for the reality series My Kitchen Rules Australia.

My Kitchen Rules Australia travels the country with the goal of finding the best home-cooking team. The teams of two battle from their own kitchens in each state of Australia and must impress the judges with unique culinary tricks and the use of local ingredients in the dishes they whip up.

Season nine of the series was Seven Network and TVNZ’s number one competitive reality program in 2018 to date. My Kitchen Rules is created and produced by Seven Studios for Seven Network.

Cate Slater, the director of content of TVNZ, stated, “My Kitchen Rules is one of TVNZ’s most popular programs on air and on demand. We’re delighted we can continue to bring MKR Australia to our viewers and can’t wait to celebrate MKR’s tenth birthday in New Zealand next year.”

Cathy Payne, the chief executive of Endemol Shine International, said, “ESI are very happy to be partnering with TVNZ once again on Seven’s My Kitchen Rules Australia in New Zealand. MKR Australia has had phenomenal success at home and continues to captivate audiences around the world.”

Therese Hegarty, the director of content distribution and rights for Seven Studios, commented, “We are delighted to see My Kitchen Rules Australia continue to resonate in global markets. Our distribution partnership with Endemol Shine is one to be proud of and we look forward to working with the team at TVNZ as they broadcast our tenth anniversary season in 2019.”
