Seven is resting My Kitchen Rules from Wednesday.
This week there are three episodes but next week the show won’t appear due to Easter non-ratings.
Instead Seven has scheduled the following in its place:
Monday March 25
7:30pm Border Security rpt
8pm Easter Special: Great Easter Feasts
Tuesday March 26
7:30pm RSPCA Animal Rescue dlb ep
Wednesday March 27
7:30pm Dynamo: Magician Impossible rpt
Thursday March 28
7:30pm Dynamo: Magician Impossible rpt
Meanwhile in other Seven updates:
Parenthood is a double episode this week.
The Mindy Project returns at 10:15pm next Monday. Private Practice airs 10:45pm Monday and Tuesday next week.
Whether Seven reheats MKR in the week of March 31 is still unclear, but extremely unlikely.

Yes that story about the MKR twitter follower was extremely interesting and the guy had a good point. MKR (and I’ve never watched it until this year) has gone down the road of bitchy. All the promos are focused on the rivalry between two teams. Many people do tune in for the cooking and don’t want to watch conflict, I myself find it quite fake and I’m only watching largely because I want to see nasty chefs out on their collectives butts. Won’t be bothering after Easter; as the Voice comes back then, and tonight is the final cook off until Easter Monday. And the two nasty girls aren’t in it, so it’s likely that I am done with MKR.
@ David Knox….re the mkr twitter a/c…interesting also that the owner is offering it for sale…he thinks it is worth ‘thousands of dollars’….hmmmm
Seven just showed a commercial for My Kitchen Rules saying “tomorrow night” then “Easter Monday (April 1st).
David, thank you for your continued respect toward your loyal audience here by providing up-to-date information and exclusives, minus the bias.
This could backfire and boy do i hope it does! 7 aren’t thinking of the viewers.
Parenthood is a double episode this week … not news – it has been double episodes every week!
Well pardon me for keeping people in the loop. I’ve filed on it being double eps before thanks. I listed it here because it’s not a double next week because PP is in. Sheesh.
Also Bones is buried for the week as well replaced by a movie
I’m bored watching mkr atm. Hopefully there will be something better on after easter and I can ditch it. Tired of the nastiness and focus on two particular teams at the expense of the rest of the show.
The story of the Twitter account mkr_au that had given up on the show and was considering tweeting about The Block was very amusing.
That’s a very risky move. I could understand reducing the number of episodes over Easter or holding off just the grand final but this risks losing the audience completely. How many viewers will return for the finale?
Not much risk at all and less risk than if Seven were to waste eps of their top show during non-ratings. They also don’t want to just hand over a quarter of their audience to Nine without a fight when The Voice starts.
I think MKR will only be rested for 1 week and resume on Easter Monday.
According to TV Week, Victoria will have Better Homes and Gardens at 7.30pm on March 28 due to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. The following night (March 29) Victoria and SA will have the AFL match between Carlton and Richmond live from the MCG from 7.30pm AEDT.
The fact that Seven weren’t showing MKR on Thursday meant they are conserving episode to take on The Voice after Easter.
Leaving The Voice unopposed would be more risky. Channel 7 suffered a large drop in ratings with Easter and then The Voice.
With a fortnight of Easter nonratings, one week and then the school holidays thing could be tricky for Nine trying to bed in a their new lineup for Winter.
This news doesn’t bolt from the blue. I identify with why Seven struggled to make a final decision about the first quarter of the ratings year. There were plenty of “rumours” suggesting Seven was going to hold off My Kitchen Rules until April.
It doesn’t take a neuroscientist to work out this decision was based on the verity Easter being too early this year. The pivotal end of this series of MKR will see it pitted against “The Voice”.
A break from the constant MKR….Good. Again it could be risky, but if it fails wel I hope they learn from their lesson.
Makes a lot of sense really. Why would you waste episodes of a top- rating show during non-ratings period.
I think 7 take their stability for granted, it won’t take much for them to be completely derailed. They should be more careful.
Why do we even have an Easter break on TV? Back in the olden days of writing out books for ratings it was to give the people a break. But since everything is digital nowadays, surely it’s redundant. It’s making our schedules filled with crap, breaks shows up (Seven have got to be kidding by stopping MKR) and makes networks (I’m looking at you Nine) hold off showing anything new until after the Easter break
An interval? Hmm. Given that a series like this feeds and thrives on collective adrenalin & perpetual motion. That’s risky.
Great to hear The Mindy Project is back but what will this do to HIMYM and Happy Endings? Will HIMYM be dropped to one episode and Happy Endings still finishing after midnight?
As much as i understand Seven doing this, this could be dangerous to do. I hope it doesn’t backfire on them.
Wishes it had finished already. The constant adverts annoy me!
I am over MKR now they are out of the homes and cooking better, pausing the series two weeks could see my remote pointing else ware, one things for sure, I won’t move on to Australia’s Greatest Bake Off, that show is doomed already in my opinion.
“reheats”… clever!
