Nine Upfront 2023: Nine to pay tribute to Shane Warne's life in Warnie

Nine has released the first look at what audiences can expect to see on screens in 2023 with Warnie set to take the stage.

In 2023, Channel Nine and 9Now will pay tribute to the life of cricketer Shane Warne.

Over two big nights, Warnie will be the fitting tribute to one of the greatest Australians of all time, the Aussie larrikin who lived and loved large in the 9Network’s must-see drama event of 2023.

Shane Warne was an Aussie legend, a cultural icon, a cricketing genius, a charmer and a rogue. Like all great characters, he inspired extreme reactions from people from all walks of life, in Australia and around the world.

The cast will be announced soon.

Warnie is produced for the 9Network by Screentime, a Banijay company, in association with VicScreen. 

Earlier this year, Nine's broadcast of Shane Warne's memorial service reached 403,000 viewers. All three commercial networks broadcasted the event, as well as ABC News.
