Wheel of Fortune Australia is coming back… but it’s being filmed in Britain and hosted by Irish comedian Graham Norton
Wheel of Fortune returns to Australian screens with a twist.
The much-loved game show, which last aired in 2008, will now be filmed in Britain, with Irish comedian Graham Norton as host.
Norton is best known for hosting The Graham Norton Show, which airs in Australia on Channel 10.
The Aussie Wheel of Fortune revival is currently casting, with producers looking to recruit Australian expats in Britain for the limited series.
Norton will also host the UK version of the game show, so it’s likely both will be filmed back-to-back.

“We’re thrilled that the much-loved Graham Norton is bringing this iconic game show to our viewers. “Anything can happen with the turn of a wheel, it will be so much fun,” British broadcaster ITV said in a statement.
A network for the Australian reboot has yet to be announced.
According to TV black boxthe Australian series will ‘probably’ air next year as a series of primetime specials.
