TVNZ 2 Overhauls Thursdays 7 Days Early

TVNZ 2 is dismantling its Thursday night line-up ahead of the return of Three’s 7 Days.

The truncated 12-week 2020 season of the comedy panel favourite will premiere next week at 8.30, as the lead-in to newcomer The Stand-Up Sketch Show at 9.00 and The Graham Norton Show at 9.30.

Today TVNZ 2 announced it was pulling Bride and Prejudice from its 9.30 slot and replacing it with SAS Who Dares Wins, which previously aired 8.30; both series were launched back-to-back only a week ago.

Screening 8.30 Thursdays from next week will be Ambulance Australia: Ultimate Emergencies, when went to air almost a year ago on Network Ten.

“This series follows the crews’ most challenging situations,” one critic said, “so buckle up for a confronting ride.”
