On 30 August 2022, ABC premiered a five-part series titled Old People's Home for Teenagers, where seniors aged between 74 and 93 years old, and teenagers aged between 14 and 16 years old, participate in the experience.[7] During episode 2, after two weeks into the experiment, 76-year old senior participant James 'Jim' Tully died during filming. After a 5-day pause in filming, the episode dealt with his death and allowed the seniors and teenagers an opportunity to share in their grief of the loss of their new friend.[8]
