On August 8, 2025, ITV delivered a devastating blow by canceling Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure after just one season, leaving the veteran presenter and his wife, Liz Davies, in tears. The three-part series, which followed the couple’s life in New Zealand, was a heartfelt return for the 76-year-old former Deal or No Deal host, but low ratings of 1-1.5 million viewers per episode sealed its fate, per Daily Mail. The decision, described as “cold” by fans, has sparked an emotional outpouring on X and fueled rumors of rival networks eyeing Edmonds for a comeback.

The show, which aired in June 2025, showcased Edmonds and Davies, 55, managing their River Haven estate, including a vineyard and pub, while embracing quirky wellness practices like crystal healing. Despite positive reviews and comparisons to Clarkson’s Farm, ITV confirmed, “There are no plans for more episodes,” per The Mirror. Edmonds, believing he had a “winning idea,” was “gutted,” with Davies visibly emotional in a recent Instagram post, per The Sun. Fans on X shared their grief, with @NoelFan22 tweeting, “ITV’s made a huge mistake!” and #SaveKiwiAdventure trending.

The cancellation, compounded by flooding at River Haven that hampered filming, marked a setback for Edmonds, who relocated to New Zealand in 2018. “It’s a blow,” an insider told NZ Herald, noting his hope for a long-running series. However, Edmonds refuted claims of being axed, stating on YouTube that he and Davies declined further episodes, per GB News. “We only signed for three films,” he clarified, though fans remain skeptical, with @TVLover88 posting, “Sounds like damage control.”

The emotional fallout has sparked speculation about Edmonds’ future. Rival networks like Channel 4 and Netflix, which saw success with Clarkson’s Farm, are reportedly eyeing him for similar projects, per Daily Star. His 50-year career, from Noel’s House Party to Top Gear, makes him a valuable asset, with 15 million viewers at his peak, per Wikipedia. X users urged, “Netflix, sign Noel now!” while others lamented, “Is this the end of his TV era?”

As Edmonds and Davies process the loss, the possibility of a rival network seizing this “perfect chance” keeps hope alive. Whether this marks the end or a new chapter, fans remain moved by the couple’s tears and eager for Edmonds’ next move.
