Channel 10 has shared a major update on the future of one of the network’s longest running series and confirmed when the show will return to screens.

Channel 10 has confirmed Have You Been Paying Attention? will return to screens next month as the broadcaster doubles down on breakout star Sam Pang.

The panel series, which sees host Tom Gleisner quiz his celeb panellists on current events, has emerged as a reliable ratings winner for Ten since its humble beginnings in 2013.

On Tuesday, Ten revealed that the series will return to its Monday night timeslot for a 13th season next month beginning on May 12.

“It’s time to make some noise as powerhouse trio Tom Gleisner, Ed Kavalee and Sam Pang are back to crank up the fun when the thirteenth season of Have You Been Paying Attention? premieres on Monday, 12 May at 8:40pm on 10 and 10 Play,” the network told SkyNews.com.au in a statement.

The series currently consists of Gleisner on the cue cards and Pang and Ed Kavalee as permanent panellists alongside a revolving line up of celebrity guests.

“I can’t wait to get back into the studio with all the gang for another huge season of Have You Been Paying Attention?,” Gleisner said in a statement.

“For me, there’s no better way to spend a Monday night.”

Ten also confirmed that the upcoming season will see some “brand new faces” as panellists.

“Be prepared to be a little bit informed, a whole lot entertained and perhaps slightly confused when all of your favourites (along with some brand new faces) put their knowledge of the week’s news to the ultimate test,” Ten said in a statement.

“Same hilarious show, brand new headlines!”

The update comes after Ten renewed Pang’s late night show for a “second run” of episodes just weeks after its debut in March.

Sam Pang Tonight features an American-style late night format with celebrity guests and marks the most ambitious attempt at a late night series since Rove left the airways in 2009.

The weekly late night show premiered last month to lukewarm critical reviews but managed to pull in Ten’s biggest audience for a new show since 2022.
