Seven TV's line-up shift sidelines Sonia Kruger and Chris Brown
Seven's restructured schedule sidelines Sonia Kruger and Chris Brown while elevating Ricki-Lee Coulter and Jim Jefferies.
Channel Seven announced its 2027 line-up at Thursday's upfronts. The event revealed big shifts in on-air talent.
Long-time stars Sonia Kruger and Chris Brown have much less work next year. Kruger's The Voice is uncertain and Dancing with the Stars is paused until 2028.
Both shows are being reviewed for new ways to make them. Brown faces similar cuts.
My Reno Rules is cancelled. His main TV offering is Once in a Lifetime, filmed over a year ago.
In contrast, Ricki-Lee Coulter hosts both Australian Idol and I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. Comedian Jim Jefferies co-hosts I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here and The 1% Club.
Seven confirmed Kruger would be involved if her shows return, though timing is unclear.
- Australian Idol, I'm A Celebrity
- Coulter's hosting roles
- I'm A Celebrity, The 1% Club
- Jefferies' co-hosting roles
- 2028
- Dancing with Stars return
- Once in a Lifetime

Why it mattersThis shows how even established TV personalities can lose prominence when networks reshuffle their schedules and shift their investment priorities.
