Did the cancellation of Australian Survivor lead to any legal action?
Yes, the cancellation of Australian Survivor did lead to some legal action. In 2020, former host of the show, Jonathan LaPaglia, filed a lawsuit against the show's producers and the Seven Network, claiming that he had been denied his contractual rights when the show was cancelled in 2020. LaPaglia alleged that he had been short changed of his entitlements, including his option agreement, as well as being denied payments for the show's all-stars season.
In response, Endemol Shine Australia, the production company behind the show, issued a statement denying the claims and said they had acted in accordance with the terms of their agreement. They also said that LaPaglia had been compensated for his work up until the show's cancellation.
The lawsuit is still ongoing and the outcome is yet to be determined. LaPaglia is seeking damages of more than $200,000, although the exact figure has not been disclosed. It remains to be seen if the lawsuit will be successful, and if the parties involved will be able to come to an agreement.
