Whose Line is it Anyway? Australia (also known as Whose Line? and Whose Line? Oz) is a 10-part Australian improvisational comedy show, based on the British show of the same name, hosted by Tommy Little on Foxtel network's The Comedy Channel, premiering on 27 November 2016.[1][2][3]
There are seven cast members throughout the series, with four performing each episode, using the same basic formula as the other versions of the show.[4] The ensemble cast include Rhys Darby, Cal Wilson, Tegan Higginbotham, Susie Youssef, Steen Raskopoulos, Bridie Connell and Tom Walker.[5]
On 10 November 2016, before the show's premiere, host Tommy Little jokingly announced a second season at a Melbourne-based media event without the permission from Foxtel executives. At the time the show had not gotten a formal renewal.[6]
