A brand new quiz show is coming to Channel Nine soon, and naturally, people across Australia are wanting to learn more about The Floor.
High-stakes trivia, strategy, and wits – what more could you want in a game show?
Well, the Australian iteration of The Floor is presented by none other than Rodger Corser, the beloved actor best known for his role of Dr. Hugh Knight in Doctor Doctor and Detective Senior Sergeant Steven Owen in Underbelly.
“Had a blast doing [The Floor],” Rodger captioned an Instagram post. “Great bunch of contestants and categories. A game that everyone can get involved in!! Can’t wait!”
The Floor won’t be his first time presenting a reality gaming series after hosting The Traitors for two seasons.
This game series was first released in the US, airing three seasons with Rob Lowe as host. Given its success in America, Channel Nine is giving The Floor a run in Australia.
As viewers await the new reality competition series, TV WEEK has answered all your burning questions regarding The Floor Australia arriving in 2025.
Who are the contestants on The Floor?
Joining Rodger on the gaming floor will be 81 contestants. Most of the contestants are everyday people, but there are a few familiar faces joining the show.
In particular, is Married At First Sight Australia season six participant, Jules Robinson who was matched with Cameron Merchant. The pair made MAFS history when he dropped to one knee and proposed during final vows, then wed legally in November 2019. The lovebirds later welcomed two children, Oliver and Carter.
“I’ve spoken to Cam a few times,” Rodger told TV WEEK. “He was a cricketer and I like cricket. But no favouritism!”
LEGO Masters fans may also recognise Kale, who competed on the first season of the Aussie show before returning for season three and Grand Masters in 2023.
Additional contestants joining The Floor include a former NRL player, a MasterChef Australia star and “a man with an IQ of 146” according to Nine.
When does The Floor premiere?
The Floor premiered on April 28, 2025 on Channel Nine and 9Now at 7:30pm.
What is The Floor about?
The selected contestants will face off on a floor where they must stand on a tile. The aim of the game is to rule the entire floor and claim the grand prize. But in order to win, the contestants must challenge their neighbour, win their tile and therefore steal their area of The Floor.
By the end of the first episode, nine contestants will be out of the competition. Week by week, as the number of contestants shrinks, viewers get to know the contestants better.
“That’s the nice element of this show,” Rodger told TV WEEK. “Some of them are hiding secrets and they’re not letting on that they’re an astrophysicist or something.”
At the end of the competition, a winning prize of $200,000 is given to the person with the most territory. But that’s not the only cash prize on offer, as Rodger revealed $10,000 will be given to the contestant with the “most amount of territory every night.”
