I can share what’s been reported about the 2026 filming, but note details can vary by region and outlet.
- In Australia, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia 2026 is described as having been filmed for a 2026 run, with January 18 marked as the premiere date on Channel 10 and 10Play in some reports (show typically airs in the evening).[3][5][7]
- The 2026 season is widely reported to be prerecorded, rather than live, due to production budgeting choices and scheduling considerations for the Australian version (a notable departure from earlier live formats).[1][3]
- Filming locations have repeatedly been cited as taking place in South Africa, notably Kruger National Park, consistent with recent Australian seasons relying on that venue for the jungle segments.[5][7][3]
- There is talk of long-term planning for the Aussie camp site at the Murwillumbah site in New South Wales, with reports that negotiations for continued use could extend through the 2030s, though those talks are not confirmed as final and depend on local authorities.[2][6]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest official network confirms, cast announcements, or exact air times for your local area. I can also summarize differences between live and prerecorded formats and their implications for viewing. Would you like me to focus on a specific region (Australia vs. UK vs. US), or on how the prerecorded format affects episode structure and scheduling?
