November 18th 2024.
Ant Middleton's popular series, SAS: Who Dares Wins, may soon be coming to an end in Australia. The show, which first aired in 2015, features ordinary individuals and celebrities undergoing rigorous military training to prove themselves to Ant and the other chief instructors.
However, it seems that Ant has been dealt a major blow as he received bad news about the spin-off series of SAS: Who Dares Wins. While he was involved with the original Channel 4 show from 2015 to 2021, he has since shifted his focus to the spin-off, SAS Australia, which premiered in 2020. It was even set to have a fifth season in 2025, with Ant confidently assuring fans that the show would be returning and rumors of casting calls circulating.
Unfortunately, sources have revealed that discussions and negotiations between Screentime and Channel Seven in Australia have come to a halt, causing the future of the show to be uncertain. It's surprising that filming for the fifth season has not even begun yet, and the show was not even mentioned in Channel Seven's 2025 line-up announcement.
This potential cancellation has caught many off guard, especially since a whopping 1.85 million viewers tuned in to watch the finale in 2023. According to insiders, there is some interest from Australia's Channel Nine, but nothing is set in stone. This sudden turn of events is a major setback for the show's future, as production for the fifth season has fizzled out behind the scenes.
This news goes against what Ant had previously shared earlier this year, as he seemed certain that there would be a fifth season. In an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle in August, he stated, "Of course we're coming back, SAS Australia's gone nowhere. You've heard it from the horse's mouth. We just need to make sure we've got the right cast, the right location, and with SAS Australia, you can't rush it." He emphasized the importance of finding the right cast and location to keep the show authentic and genuine.
Despite this setback, Ant remains committed to continuing SAS Australia. He had previously mentioned that he already had a few names in mind for the new season's cast, such as actor James Stewart and singer Samantha Jade.
Meanwhile, the original British version of the show has just been commissioned for a seventh series by Channel 4. Filming has already taken place in Wales over the summer of 2024. The Agency has reached out to Ant Middleton for comment on the situation.
In the meantime, fans can catch SAS: Who Dares Wins on Channel 4 and stay tuned for any updates on the show's future.
