BIG Brother is finally dead. Neither Channel 9 nor Seven will pick up the series after Channel 10 gave it the axe early in the year.
There was speculation Nine would pick up the series and dramatically change the format, but sources said the network was no longer interested.
Channel 10 has confirmed it has a replacement program set for May next year.
"What we've devised is another franchise," head of programming David Mott said.
Big Brother first aired in Australia in 2001, but struggled for ratings in the past couple of years.
