The future of The Living Room is reportedly up in the air, days after Channel 10 announced that the show has not been renewed until 2023.
While Channel 10 has not confirmed that The Living Room has been closed for good, The Daily Telegraph says the cast’s recent actions suggest this may be the case.
According to the publication, agents of the show’s biggest stars, Dr. Chris Brown and Amanda Keller, already pitched for rival networks.

Keller is reportedly ‘out of contract’ next year, while Chris still has commitments on Channel 10 for I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!
It comes after Amanda broke her silence about the show’s cancellation for 2023 on her WSFM breakfast program Jonesy & Amanda on Thursday morning.
“It’s time to catch your breath. We’ve been on the air for 11 years,” said the 60-year-old.

Keller said it was partly a network decision to give the producers time to reformat the series pending a possible return.
She promised fans that the show would return in 2024 with the “amazing foursome” – made up of Amanda, Barry Du Bois, Miguel Maestre and Dr. Chris Brown – who would resume hosting duties.
Amanda said it was a “sad” but necessary move, with a year-long hiatus needed to ensure The Living Room makes a “brilliant” comeback.

Earlier this year, Amanda celebrated her 60th birthday with a photo shoot for the April issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly.
Speaking to the publication in February, she admitted she had a skewed view of what life at age 60 would be like when she was younger.
“There were no role models for people working at this age and if they were, maybe they were teachers,” she said.

“Even in my toughest teens, to think I’d be doing this at 60, my God, they have to put up ramps so I can be carried in on a rickshaw or something.
“The image of what 60 was in my head, and what 60 actually is, are two very different things.”
Amanda added that she was “alright with being 60” after losing friends “who would have given anything” to reach that age.
