On 16 July 2015, the series was renewed for a second season,[7] which premiered on 31 January 2016.[8] The second season was accompanied by the companion series I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Now! (similar to the original British series). It aired on Eleven (now 10 Peach) following each episode of the main series, hosted by comedian and former season one contestant Joel Creasey and The Bachelor Australia 3 contestant Heather Maltman.[9] I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Now! did not air after the main show in later seasons due to low viewing rates. On 1 August 2016 the series was renewed for a third season with Morris and Brown returning as hosts,[10] which premiered on 29 January 2017. A fourth season commenced on 28 January 2018 and concluded 12 March 2018.
A fifth season was announced and premiered on 13 January 2019. The show aired over a four-week period instead of the previous six week period.[11] In addition to the normal show, an hour-long companion series called I'm A Celebrity: 'Saturday Schoolies' aired on Saturdays at 7 pm, hosted by Scott Tweedie, and involved the celebrities completing different tasks and assignments in order to win the 'golden lunchbox'. On 7 February 2019, it was confirmed the show would return for a sixth season,[12][13] which premiered on 5 January 2020.[14][15]
In May 2020, Network 10 renewed the series for a seventh season[16][17] and in August 2020 they confirmed that it would continue to air in 2021 despite the COVID-19 pandemic.[18] However, it was unclear whether the series will be able to film in South Africa or change to another production location.[19] In November 2020, it was confirmed the series will be filmed in Australia at a site near Murwillumbah, New South Wales (the site used for many international versions of the show), which premiered on 3 January 2021.[20][21]
The series' eighth season was announced in August 2021[22] and premiered on 3 January 2022,[23] whilst a ninth season was renewed in October 2022[24] and premiered on 2 April 2023.[25]
In February 2023, it was announced Brown had signed with Seven Network and would be leaving Network 10 in July 2023 after his final hosting duties of the 2023 season.[4][5][6] In September 2023, it was rumoured Robert Irwin, son of Steve Irwin, would be Brown's replacement as host in 2024.[26][27] In October 2023, Network 10 confirmed the series had been renewed for a tenth season at their annual upfronts, that Irwin would be taking over the hosting duties of Chris Brown and premiering on 24 March 2024.[28][29][30][31]
