In December 2019, it was that announced that a ninth series would air on Three in 2020.[3] On 11 February 2020, it was announced that former contestant Laura Daniel would be replacing Rachel White on the judging panel for the ninth series.[4] On 23 February 2020, The New Zealand Herald reported that Destiny Church Pastor and Vision NZ leader Hannah Tamaki was tipped to join the series.[5] After major backlash online, MediaWorks confirmed that Tamaki would no longer be joining the series.
