Mara Venier Returns to Domenica In: Confirmed for the Eighth Consecutive Season

It's official: Mara Venier will return to the helm of Domenica In for the eighth consecutive season. Despite her promises to retire, the presenter does not seem to want to abandon her beloved program. "I really believe it when I say it's the last time. But then they always convince me to stay," she said with a smile, implying that her bond with the program is stronger than any intention of saying goodbye.

Mara looking for new faces

In this new chapter, Venier seems to have a change of direction in mind in terms of co-hosting. According to some rumors, she would have asked to be flanked by two men with a not too cumbersome presence. The idea is not to share the stage with big names in television, but rather with fresh faces, who will not take credit for the success of the program. Among the names that have been circulating, Cristiano Malgioglio was discarded, despite being an initial option. He in fact preferred to keep his place in the cast of Amici and Tale e Quale Show.

Gabriele Corsi and Nek on stage

In his place, it seems that Rai has confirmed Gabriele Corsi, who is on the rise in the Italian television scene. Corsi, who could also host Boss In Incognito in place of Max Giusti, would join Nek, strongly desired by Venier. According to some rumors, the singer would be perfect for the program: "Calm, friendly and with the right values", as described by some experts in the sector.

The future of Domenica In

The trio of Mara Venier, Gabriele Corsi and Nek promises to be a mix of professionalism and freshness. It remains to be seen how they will integrate and what surprises the new edition will have in store. While preparations are in full swing, fans are wondering: will they be able to maintain the high level of ratings that has characterized the program in recent years?

More news from the world of television

While waiting for the upcoming season, other programs are also attracting attention. The castaways of L'Isola dei Famosi, for example, have been at the center of gossip regarding their fees. Mario Adinolfi, in particular, is said to be the highest-paid castaway, but there is no shortage of those who raise doubts about the transparency of such compensation.

Similarly, The Couple debuted to a lukewarm reception, with ratings dropping and prompting its early closure, a sign that could call into question the direction Italian reality shows are headed.

Simone and Sonia, after six years of living together, also find themselves in an emotional storm, prompted to ask themselves if continuing together is the right choice.

The climate in the Island of the Famous

Reality shows, therefore, continue to dominate the Italian television landscape. In the sixth episode of L'Isola dei Famosi, the host decided to give more space to rehearsals, reducing the time dedicated to dynamics and discussions. A change of direction that could be a test to understand what works best, in an increasingly competitive context.
