Golden Bachelor-style reboot on the cards for Farmer Wants A Wife after 'nightmare season' leaves producers desperate for change - but could it be too late?


After a year of behind-the-scenes chaos, Farmer Wants A Wife is undergoing a major overhaul - but insiders fear it may be too little, too late.

Two women, Emmie and Bridget, allegedly walked off within 24 hours of arriving at Farmer Tom's property - exits that were never properly addressed on air, raising suspicions that production covered up the fallout. The decision follows mounting fan pressure to raise the age of both the farmers and contestants, and comes as Channel Nine gears up to launch the most anticipated shows of the year, The Golden Bachelor Australia. In an effort to reset the show's reputation, casting agents have now begun approaching older men for the 2026 season, with the hope of channelling the success of The Golden Bachelor while bringing FWAW back to its wholesome, romantic roots.
