Sam Pang Tonight Confirmed For Second 2025 Season. 

It’s been a long time between drinks for Australian tonight shows, but this year, Network 10 is giving audiences a double shot: that’s right, Sam Pang Tonight is coming back for season two.

Sam Pang Tonight will bookend the year with a fresh eight-episode run in late 2025. Expect more laughs as Sam takes on the week’s news and welcomes a bunch more guests, including local legends, engaging experts, and comedy mates playing the part of Special Guest Announcer. Will the crowd-favourite Wheel of Segments return? Hard to say, but turns out there’s no shortage of people willing to be pushed into a Christmas tree. 

Sam Pang said: “I’m thrilled to be coming back for Season 2. I’m very grateful to Channel 10 for their support and commitment to the show and giving me the opportunity to continue doing something I love.”

Daniel Monaghan, Senior Vice President Content & Programming said: “It’s always a thrill to share a fresh new format with viewers, and we’re absolutely delighted with the success of Sam Pang Tonight. Aussies are loving Sam’s signature comedy style so it’s no surprise Sam Pang Tonight was 10’s biggest new show launch since 2022. We’re excited to keep the laughs rolling with a second season confirmed for the back end of 2025.”

Good news for fans of somewhat ramshackle comedy! Bad news for a lot of people who seem to have spent the last few weeks complaining Sam Pang Tonight isn’t the perfect tonight show they’ve had playing in their heads for the last decade or so.

This somewhat unexpected return – yeah, even we were wondering if it was going to see out the original eight episode order – does raise one question. If it’s coming back later in the year, what’s it going to replace?

Usually HYBPA? and The Cheap Seats see out the year and then some, and that’s the Monday and Tuesday evening slots taken. Will one of them be ending their season early this year? Will Sam Pang Tonight make the move to another (to)night? Was Sam Pang Tonight really Ten’s “biggest new show launch since 2022”? Has Ten actually had any new shows since 2022? And will they still be pushing people into Christmas trees when it’s Christmas?
