Being Lara Bingle was an, Australian reality television series that premiered on 12 June 2012 on Network Ten.[1][2] The series follows the misadventures of model and minor television personality, Lara Bingle.[3]

After two years, Network Ten has not commissioned a second season of the series and no second series of the failed first has been spoken of publicly since.[4]

In April 2013, Network Ten expressed that "the extreme youth focus that led to programs like (similarly failed) 'The Shire' and 'Being Lara Bingle' being commissioned is not quite right for us" and that Ten would now move on from that focus, being obviously unappealing to its audience.[5]

Notes
  1. ↑ Numbers were inflated because Being Lara Bingle took in MasterChef viewers when the show ran overtime. On actual screening minutes, it attracted 768,000 watchers.
  2. ↑ Ratings for this episode dropped lower possibly due to coverage of the Olympics on another channel.

Location

The reality series was filmed at Bondi Beach in New South Wales and other locations including Los Angeles, Melbourne, India, and New Zealand.
