The Chaser's Media Circus will return for a second season on September 10.
However, according to a statement from ABC TV, management has confirmed it hopes to replace the second series with cat videos.
.As soon as we can find enough left wing cats who instinctively hate Australia, they.ll be replaced,. said an ABC representative.
The game show about the news is hosted by Craig Reucassel with Fake Fact Checker Chas Licciardello.
It is produced by the creative team behind The Chaser and The Checkout, including Ben Jenkins, Zoë Norton Lodge, Scott Abbot, Andrew Hansen and Julian Morrow.
"ABC management confirmed that for the second series the show has been moved out of the news division to allow it to be more biased and have less rigorous vetting of the studio audience," according to a statement.

The Chaser team are not overly fond of bland press releases. Even if the alternative they offer tends to be something of a flight of fantasy.
The news of The Chaser reuniting with once-mentor Andrew Denton and his recently-formed Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder production company started out plausible before escalating to the ludicrous:
The Chaser team’s production company Giant Dwarf has announced it will join forces with Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder in a bid to become a new super-indie television powerhouse.
The move follows the merger last February between Cordell Jigsaw and Zapruder’s Other Films, which resulted in the new company Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder. With today’s addition of Giant Dwarf to the fold, the company will now be known as Giant Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder Dwarf.
“This is all about creating a platform so that local independent production companies can compete with the major multinationals like Fremantle and Shine,” said...
