History
After the show's launch in 2019, it only lasted one season before being cancelled as part of Three's cost-cutting measures to ready the station for sale.In July 2020, Guy Williams stated that New Zealand Today had been "resurrected and approved for development", and that a second season would be possible.
In April 2021, the show was revived for a second season and began airing.
On 1 December 2021, a podcast spin-off was launched where Williams is joined by Karen Hill, who featured previously on the show.
In June 2022, a third season was aired.
In December 2022, Guy Williams announced via Instagram that New Zealand Today would have a fourth season in 2023.
On 27 August 2025, Guy Williams announced via Instagram that New Zealand Tomorrow would stream now and broadcast that night.
In 2025, Guy Williams' new iteration of the series is a "combination of journalism and comedy", New Zealand Tomorrow, about Waimate, the presence of nitrates in New Zealand’s water supply, bowel cancer, and other health issues, as a result of severe over-farming.
"...where New Zealand Today insisted on not being taken seriously, Tomorrow is forced into a position where it must take itself seriously, because there is literally no one else to do the work of in-depth reportage that Williams finds himself doing following the closure of Newshub"
