This update builds on the new website launched earlier this month, with the biggest changes focused on making each show page more useful before, during and after a season.
Show Hubs Take Centre Stage
Show hubs have been completely reworked with a larger, full-width visual design that puts each series front and centre. Every hub now opens with dedicated show artwork, a network icon, a tailored description and a direct link to watch the show when one is available.
For programs that are currently airing, a new Next Episode panel automatically displays the next scheduled broadcast. It updates as each episode passes, making it easier to see when a favourite show is back without hunting through a program guide.
Current-season ratings have also joined the hubs. Each available table brings together episode dates, national reach, average audience and BVOD figures in one place. When Reality Recap has published a matching daily ratings article, the date in the table links directly to that story for more context.
The Block and The Traitors Australia now include contestant galleries, while every hub brings together the latest stories for that show. The pages remain easy to scan on one screen, with no separate tabs required.
More Shows Join Reality Recap
The update also expands the number of programs covered across the site. Big Brother Australia, Love Island Australia, Australian Idol and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Australia have all joined the line-up with their own show hubs, ratings information and direct watch links where available.
The complete collection can be found on the Shows page, which now acts as the home for every current, upcoming and recently finished series covered by Reality Recap.
Quality Of Life Improvements
Finding more to read should now feel easier across the site. Article pages include a new Continue Reading section that recommends recent stories, prioritising articles about the same show before suggesting more from the same category.
Shows have also been added to the main navigation. On desktop, the new dropdown groups programs by network and uses poster previews to make each show easy to spot. The previews animate smoothly into view, while mobile users now have a direct Shows link at the end of the navigation menu.
Show hubs have received a dedicated mobile layout too. Next Episode information appears near the top of the page, ratings tables keep their key columns visible while scrolling, and contestant galleries adapt to smaller screens without losing the full line-up.
Bug Fixes And Polish
Several smaller issues have been tidied up as part of v1.1. Desktop search now opens without colliding with navigation links and the header layout has been rebalanced to make room for the growing site.
Mobile fixes include improved footer spacing, a larger footer logo, cleaner dark-mode styling and more reliable navigation when testing or browsing on a phone. Ratings displays, image crops and hover effects have also received a final round of polish.
What Comes Next?
Version 1.1 gives Reality Recap a stronger foundation for expanding show coverage and adding more useful season information over time. Show artwork, descriptions, schedules, contestants, watch links and ratings can now be updated as each new season arrives.
There is plenty more we would like to explore, but for now, the new show hubs are ready to browse.
