Background

edit

In February 2016, the title of the program was revealed along with naming Zumbo as host.[5] Khoo was named as co-host in April 2016.[6][7] In June 2016, Falanga was announced as joining the program as assistant and timekeeper[2] and promos were released, advising the show would air after the 2016 Summer Olympics.[8]

Despite poor ratings for the first season, an international release through streaming service Netflix led to a second season being commissioned as a co-production between Netflix and Seven Studios.[3]
