Sonia Kruger 'assembling professional showreel' for overseas opportunities as Seven continues cost-cutting

Sonia Kruger is one of Australia's highest paid television presenters.

But the Channel Seven star could be preparing for a major career move overseas.

According to The Australian, the 60-year-old Gold Logie winner has recently been assembling a professional showreel designed to pitch herself to broadcasters in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The reported move comes as Seven continues reviewing its entertainment slate while looking to reduce production costs, with questions hanging over the future of some of its biggest reality franchises.

Sonia remains the face of several of the network's biggest flagship programs, including The Voice and Dancing with the Stars.

While The Voice is due to return later this year following Seven's coverage of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, Media Diary reports the network has not yet committed to another season in 2027.

The publication claims executives are weighing up the program's future due to its significant production budget and costly international licensing agreement.

If the singing competition is not renewed, it would leave Kruger with fewer high-profile hosting roles at the network.

The Gold Logie winner recently sparked speculation about her own international ambitions after documenting a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles on Instagram.

Sharing photos from her travels, Kruger praised the airline's premium Polaris service, writing: 'Whirlwind weekend. SYD>LAX in the best possible way... The Polaris experience with United Airlines is next level!'

She later joked alongside another post: 'Pretending this is my normal life!'

Kruger has been one of Australia's most recognisable personalities for more than three decades.

Back in 2025, Daily Mail revealed that Kruger's future at the network was up in the air.

Despite the television favourite once being one of the network's most in-demand stars, rumours circulated that this may no longer be the case after big changes at the network, including Big Brother jumping ship to Ten in 2025 with a rebooted format and new host Mel Trancia.

Sonia's husband Craig McPherson also vacated his role as head of news and current affairs at Seven West Media in April 2024. 

A Seven spokesperson rubbished the Daily Telegraph's claims that these developments had seen the star fall out of favour at the network. 

Despite this, the publication claimed that a 'highly placed source' at Seven said that Sonia was 'vulnerable' citing her reported $1.3 million contract.

'Now Big Brother has gone, she will likely be doing less,' the unnamed source told the outlet.

Representatives for the Gold Logie winner threw even more cold water on the rumours at the time, telling the publication Sonia was 'happy' at the network.

'Sonia is under a long-term contract with Seven, has not received a pay cut, and is very happy at the network,' they said.
