Farmer Wants A Wife fans may get a shock when the show’s new season airs in 2025.
While eight farmers were announced in Channel Seven’s casting reveal, not all the men will make it to air, according to a new report.
An insider tells New Idea that ‘introducing a larger group of farmers that ladies can apply to meet is regular practice for Farmer’ but not every man makes it on air.
‘Producers like to cast the net wide and then if they don’t get enough applications for a respective farmer they don’t make it to air,’ the alleged insider said.
‘It would sting but that is the way it is,’ they added.
The magazine alleges the process occurred in the 2024 season, with Farmer Todd reappearing when Farmers Dean and Bert left early.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Channel Seven for comment.
The 2024 series, hosted by Samantha Armytage, once again saw six single farmers date a group of compatible women in the hopes of finding their future wives.
It was arguably the most dramatic series yet, with fan-favourite Farmer Bert going home single in a shock departure before a ‘secret boyfriend’ texting scandal rocked the cast.
Though the tumultuous journey for 2024 farmers Bert, Joe, Dustin, Dean, Tom and Todd only came to an end in May, Seven are already casting for the 2025 series.
Showing no signs of slowing down, the lucky new farmers selected for the 2025 instalment of the hit reality dating show have already been unveiled.
Eight handsome singles have been cherry-picked for the Seven dating show, but two men will be cut from the final line-up with just six farmers taking to screen next year.
The farmers in the running for the 2025 cast include a 29-year-old banana and avocado farmer from Mareeba, Queensland, called Reidy, along with seven others.
Dashing cattle farmer Jack, 26, from Oberon, New South Wales, is opening his heart to love in 2025, along with sheep farmer Jarrad, 21, from Stanthorpe, Queensland.
Beans, hay and cotton farmer Corey – who is 24 years old and hails from Biloela, Queensland – is also in the running for the official 2025 cast.
Handsome singleton Jack L, 26, who runs a dairy farm in Railton, Tasmania, has signed up along with sheep farmer Tom M, 31, from Borambola, New South Wales.
Also on the quest for love are wheat, barley and lentil farmer Thomas, 35, from Kimba, South Australia, and cattle and crop farmer Chooka, 25, from Goornong, Victoria.
With the show still in pre-production, it remains to be seen which two farmers will be cut and which six will make it to screen to kick off their search for true love.
Applications are already open for single women looking to find their happily-ever-after on a farm ahead of the latest match-making journey gracing our screens.
Little is known about the 2025 series of FWAW, with the series yet to start filming and the release date yet to be confirmed.
Samantha is set to return to host the show, after signing a massive two-year deal, with Channel Seven continuing to make Natalie Gruzlewski her understudy.
There won’t be any hosting changes to Farmer Wants A Wife next year, despite many disgruntled fans calling for Natalie’s return to the centre stage.
