Kyle Sandilands was spotted hard at work for the first time since his radio show was axed by the Australian Radio Network (ARN) in March.
The shock jock, 55, was spotted with a film crew at his Vaucluse mansion on Friday as he prepared to shoot a new mystery show.
Daily Mail understands Sandilands was filming a series called ‘At Home With Kyle’ for his soon-to-be-launched subscription platform.
A source explained the series will ‘feature behind the scenes footage and interviews filmed during and after his much publicised legal dispute with ARN’.
Filming for the series is said to have ‘begun the morning after Kyle got suspended by ARN’.
Dressed in his usual all-black garb, the former radio star was spotted standing on the steps of his home as he welcomed the production crew into his lavish house.

The workers were spotted carting in large cases filled with equipment as they also dressed in mostly all-black outfits.
All members of Sandilands’ team were also seen wearing jumpers with the logo of his latest media venture, Kyle Sandilands Live, emblazoned on the back.
Sandilands is set to launch his subscription-based show in early August, promising an ensemble cast with no ads and no censorship.
He announced the new venture after officially settling his legal dispute with ARN, agreeing to take home only $12.09 million of the original $85 million he sought.
It comes soon after Sandilands registered ‘Kyle and Karl’ websites for himself and axed Today host Karl Stefanovic last week.
The domain names appear to point to a potential partnership between Sandilands and Stefanovic, 51, quietly taking shape behind the scenes.
The IP addresses for kyleandkarl.com.au and karlandkyle.com.au were registered to Sandilands’ company, King Kyle Group Pty Ltd.
In 2024, King Kyle also registered themorningmen.com.au and morningmen.com.au – another hint at a potential collaboration with Stefanovic.

Is it fair for media stars like Kyle Sandilands to profit from controversy and legal battles?

‘It is something they’ve been talking about for a while,’ a source close to the duo told The Daily Telegraph.
Sandilands has apparently been keeping in close contact with Stefanovic since his departure from Nine last month.
Daily Mail has reached out to Stefanovic, ARN and Sandilands for comment.
The pair certainly have a lot in common, after Sandilands had his $100 million radio contract sensationally torn up by ARN earlier this year.
His KIIS FM show was axed after he and former co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson had an explosive on-air clash over her ‘fixation’ on astrology.
The Kyle & Jackie O Show was subsequently cancelled, leading to high-profile legal battles between the duo and their former employer.
Sandilands was just months away from a blockbuster trial in Federal Court over his contract when he accepted a settlement with ARN.
As part of the payout, ARN will also provide $1.5 million in advertising for Sandilands’ future media ventures over three years.
ARN will also collect a 19.9 per cent revenue share from those upcoming projects and Sandilands is restricted from working with radio competitors for nine months.
Meanwhile, a court date has been set for the legal stoush between Henderson, 51, and ARN over her $100 million contract.
The radio star is set to kick off her court battle against ARN on October 12 after launching a Fair Work claim against the network in April.
An interlocutory hearing – a proceeding that focuses on resolving specific procedural issues – will be held on August 24.
