10 recently announced a return to Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation, retitled as Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen, which has pleased original host Shaun Micallef.
“I’m looking forward to seeing it. I think it’d be an interesting experience,” he tells TV Tonight. “I like the fact that it still has life, that people feel, that it’s still worthwhile. I haven’t beaten it completely to death. I’m pleased to report that there’s life in the old girl yet.”
The series originally ran on 10 from 2009 – 2012 then on Nine across 2018 – 2019.
The 2025 edition, with a host yet to be announced, will be a battle between Gen X, the Millennials and the Zoomers.
Micallef, who recently wrapped Eve of Destruction for ABC is currently featuring in Origin Odyssey for SBS. and says he has couple of books coming out soon.
“I’ll be around the place sort of banging the drum for them. At the moment, there’s nothing on for next year. I guess I’m waiting to hear back whether there’ll be more Eve of Destruction and we’ll see how this show lands, whether there’s any more Origin Odyssey. But it’s been a good year. I’ve enjoyed it, and I enjoyed doing Time Bandits too. That was great fun.”
Alas Time Bandits, filmed in NZ for Apple TV+ has ended after one season.
“Don’t blame me for that. I always know people are keen to. Certainly, people blame me for Seachange ending, because I was in the final series. But no, I can’t be blamed for this!”
