Behind The Scenes
Feel-Good TV
Why we love comfort shows
Why do we keep tuning in to MasterChef, The Cook up with Adam Liaw, LEGO Masters, or The Great Australian Bake Off? What makes these shows comforting, uplifting, and endlessly watchable without relying on drama or conflict?
Join us for Feel-Good TV, a panel exploring the rise of comfort TV and why audiences are drawn to programs that celebrate skill, creativity, and human connection. Featuring insights from AACTA-nominated creators and industry experts, this session uncovers the secrets behind television that leaves us smiling, inspired, and coming back for more.
