The Cheap Seats is gearing up for its return later this month, with hosts Tim McDonald and Melanie Bracewell back to take another swing at the week’s wildest headlines.
The 10 staple, now in its sixth season, and from the creative team at Working Dog Productions, is set to deliver another year of sharp, offbeat takes that we’ve come to expect on the weekly news cycle.

In these unprecedented times, it’s important to turn to trusted voices to bring you the stories that really matter. For everything else, there’s The Cheap Seats!
Back for a sixth season, hosts Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald have been scouring the news to bring you the world’s most unmissable, unbelievable, and unhinged updates.
Not every story needs a hard-hitting headline. Sometimes you just need to know what’s unfolding on the Archipelago of Love Islands – and that’s where Cultural Correspondent Mel Tracina steps in.
In the past year, The Cheap Seats has delivered standout moments including an exclusive interview with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, beatboxing brilliance from Reggie Watts, and an unforgettable on‑air slap from Lynne McGranger.
The show even hit the road for The Cheap Seats’ very first World Tour* (*one city, one night only).
In 2026, expect even more special guests, celebrity cameos and red carpet reports. Where are the best seats in the house? Right here on 10.
The new season of The Cheap Seats premieres Tuesday 21 April at 8.40pm on 10.
