Farmer Wants A Wife Season 2 is down to the nitty-gritty. A dramatic season has played out on Fox, but there’s still one burning question that viewers have about this second season of the show. Will there be a reunion this season after the finale?
Farmer Wants A Wife: There Was No Reunion Special Last Season
The Farmer Wants A Wife reboot is only in its second season in the Fox reboot. The network has a proven hit on their hands, however, there’s still a learning curve as the network is still working out the kinks. As an example, there was no reunion special last season, which was absolutely a missed opportunity.
Nowadays, it’s standard practice for a lot of popular shows to have reunion specials following season finales. Since there was no reunion special for Season 1, many watchers wonder if they will be treated to a wrap-up show this time around.

The Nine Network is channelling tens of millions of dollars freed up from the end of its output deal with Warner Bros. into a record investment in local content.
Spending on local production will continue to rise over the next three years to the point where the network invests $100 million more per year than currently, executives said at the upfronts presentation today.
While Nine retains the first-run rights to The Big Bang Theory, director of programming and production Andrew Backwell said the broadcaster decided to relinquish the re-runs (subsequently acquired by Seven) because it preferred to spend the money on local content.
The 2016 line-up includes the Matchbox Pictures drama Hide & Seek, Cjz.s previously announced two-part Alan Bond miniseries House of Bond and a new factual series, Prison: First & Last 24 Hours.

The Chaser’s media and news analysis show The Hamster Wheel returned last night, slightly down in the ratings on last year’s debut.

The ABC1 comedy, which aired at 9.10pm, averaged 784,000 viewers across the five city metro markets according to preliminary ratings from OzTam. It was 12th for the night.
