CHRISHELL STAUSE JOINS MUST-WATCH STAN ORIGINAL DATING SERIES LOVE TRIANGLE AS HOST OF THE FIRST EVER REUNION SPECIAL. THE BRAND NEW SEASON WILL RETURN IN 2025.

Stan, Australia’s unrivalled home of original productions, today announced that Emmy-Nominated Actress, Host, Reality Star and Best-Selling Author, Chrishell Stause will host the first ever reunion special for the Stan Original Dating Series Love Triangle when it returns in 2025.

From Endemol Shine Australia Director of Content Tara McWilliams (Married At First Sight), Stan's Head of Originals Amanda Duthie, and 9Network Executive Producer Andy Ryan, Love Triangle challenges a group of singles to relinquish their grasp on what they think their perfect partner should look like, and instead choose someone, sight unseen, based on a deeper connection.

Chrishell, best known for her starring role in global hit reality real estate series Selling Sunset, will sit down with this season’s triangles in a reunion special, to unpack and reflect on the most memorable moments across the 8-part series - offering a gloves-off moment for the first time in Love Triangle history!

Chrishell said: “It is an honour to host the first ever reunion special for Love Triangle. I know first-hand the drama that goes on both on and off camera in an unscripted series.  There is so much that happens behind the scenes that audiences don’t get to witness so I’m here to draw out those stories and encourage the cast to speak their truth and share their feelings. I’m also not afraid to hold people accountable to their actions - so get ready, it’s going to be one epic reunion!” 

Since the global premiere of the series on Stan in 2022, Love Triangle has gone on to capture international attention and the first two seasons have been sold into 13 territories. The format has also been adapted for audiences in Finland and the UK – where Love Triangle UK launched earlier this year on E4 - and is also available to stream on Stan.

The Stan Original Dating Series Love Triangle is produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Entertainment company) in conjunction with the 9Network.

The brand new season of the Stan Original Series Love Triangle will premiere in 2025. Every episode of seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming, only on Stan.

Headliners takes centre stage on ABC in November

Celebrating music and inclusion, Headliners is a raw, candid and heartwarming five-part series premiering Tuesday 19 November at 8.00pm on ABC TV with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview. 

The series follows musician and fervent campaigner for inclusion, access and equality, Elly-May Barnes, as she leads the quest to create two bands made up entirely of musicians with disabilities. Joining Elly-May are revered musicians Tim Rogers (You Am I) and Ella Hooper (Killing Heidi) as the skillful band leaders who expertly mentor and guide the bands, along with her dad, Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes AO who offers inspiration and support.

Together, and in just seven weeks, they will transform a group of musicians who have never met before into two bands set to play on the main stage at one of Australia’s most iconic music festivals, Mundi Mundi Bash in Broken Hill. Delta Goodrem AM and Ben Gillies (Silverchair) also share their vast experience and offer sage advice on performing in front of large crowds during two special master classes. 

As the bands prepare for the performance of a lifetime, the series offers an intimate look into the creative process, struggles and triumphs, highlighting that disability does not define talent.

Narrated by disability activist and Spicks and Specks host Adam Hills MBE, Headliners seeks to uncover extraordinary talent that has, until now, mostly been excluded from Australia’s mainstream music landscape. Almost 20% of Australians live with a disability – our largest minority group – but that community is grossly under-represented in the music industry…it’s time to change this.
