The Australian version of the show premiered on 29 January 2007 at 8:30 pm on the Nine Network and was recorded in the Melbourne Docklands Central City Studios.
The format of the Australian show is based on series 2 of the US show (those US shows that aired after 1 December 2006). The prize ladder is half the value of the US ladder (in Australian dollars), with a single million-dollar jackpot for eliminating all 100 players.
A second season of the show had started airing on Friday, 6 June 2008 to 13 June 2008 (except for NSW and QLD), but it was put on hiatus and then cancelled (and its website removed).
