AUSSIE viewers are set to be hit by a second wave of new and returning TV shows as Channels Seven, Nine and Ten fight it out for post-Easter ratings supremacy.

More than 20 major new and returning series will launch across coming weeks across the commercial networks as well as on the ABC and SBS.

Foxtel is also getting in on the act with a massive slate including the fifth season of Game of Thrones and Sam Worthington's Deadline Gallipoli.

The fiercest battle will take place at 7.30pm when Nine's new Reno Rumble takes on Seven's House Rules and Ten's MasterChef Australia from early May.

"MasterChef will be the beneficiary of Seven and Nine splitting the renovation audience with their competing shows," media analyst Steve Allen says.

Before that, Seven and Nine will screen what could be two of the highest rating shows of the year — the finale of My Kitchen Rules and the auction episode of The Block Triple Threat.

Nine's Married at First Sight, in which four sets of single men and women meet for the first time at the altar, looks set to generate the biggest buzz.

Each couple, matched by a panel of relationship experts, must then honeymoon and spend 30 days living together before deciding whether to stay married.

"The participants are all genuinely looking for love," Andrew Backwell, Nine's head of programming and production, says.

"This is not a reality game show like The Bachelor or Beauty and the Geek. This is a documentary series that is absolutely real. This is real drama, real emotion, real people's lives."

The ABC will be hoping for big things from news/comedy program The Weekly with Charlie Pickering. Pickering left Ten's The Project last April and joined the ABC in November.

The most confronting program will surely be Seven's Catching Milat, which follows the police investigation that led to the capture of Australia's most notorious serial killer, Ivan Milat.

Foxtel's slate is especially rich. This week it launched the third season of Aussie prison drama Wentworth and the final series of US retro drama Mad Men.

Tonight it screens the first episode of hotly anticipated British drama Wolf Hall, starring Damian Lewis (Homeland) as Henry VIII.

The two-part Deadline Gallipoli, which tells the story of the ANZAC campaign from the point of view of leading war correspondents including Charles Bean and Keith Murdoch, is a labour of love for producer/star Sam Worthington.

"We didn't want this to be a history lesson or stodgy," Worthington says. "We have found a different way (focusing on war correspondents) which makes it more modern."
