ITV Cancels Noel Edmonds’ ‘Kiwi Adventure’ After Three-Part Run

The network said average audiences missed its recommission threshold, prompting Edmonds to accuse ITV of misleading posturing over any return

Overview

  • ITV confirmed there are no plans to extend the three-part series beyond its initial run, though episodes remain available on ITVX.
  • Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure averaged 1.1 million overnight viewers and failed to enter the top 50 most-watched shows during its June broadcast.
  • ITV executives set a 1 to 1.5 million viewers-per-episode target for renewal, but the series fell short of that benchmark.
  • Edmonds released a YouTube video denouncing reports of a recommission as “ridiculous posturing” and criticized the network’s public statements.
  • Sources close to Edmonds say flooding at his River Haven estate in New Zealand disrupted production and contributed to the show’s suspension.
