Was the cancellation of Australian Survivor due to budget concerns?
The cancellation of Australian Survivor in 2020 was a major blow to the show's loyal fan base. While it was initially reported that the show was cancelled due to budget concerns, this may not be the full story. In a statement released by Network Ten, the show's broadcaster, they cited a need to invest in other projects as the primary reason for the cancellation. This suggests that budget concerns were only a part of the decision to end the show.
It is possible that the ongoing pandemic and subsequent restrictions had an impact on the show's budget. There have been numerous reports of film and television productions being shut down due to Covid-19 restrictions, and this could have forced the hand of Network Ten to make the difficult decision of cancelling Australian Survivor.
The reality is that budget concerns are likely to have had an impact on the show's cancellation. The pandemic has had a major impact on the economy and the entertainment industry has not been spared. With budget cuts necessary to stay afloat, the decision to end Australian Survivor was likely one of the unfortunate casualties of the pandemic.
