GET READY to celebrate two decades of design, drama, and dazzling renovations when The Block returns for an incredible 20th season in 2024.
Australia’s favourite home renovation show is heading to the stunning coastal location of Phillip Island, a cruisy two-hour drive from Melbourne and home to the world famous Australian MotoGP and Penguin Parade.
In the new season of The Block, five couples from around Australia make the move to Phillip Island to build a new home that could change their lives forever come auction day.
The Blockheads will renovate five luxury family holiday homes – once again designed by longtime Block architect Julian Brenchley – from an abandoned resort just a few minutes’ drive from the town of Cowes.
Host Scott Cam is back for an incredible 18th season and will be joined by trusty co-host Shelley Craft for her 17th season on the show.
“When I drove into the site for the first time I knew it was going to be a big job for our contestants,” Scott said. “The houses are enormous and when you walk around the site, there are surprises at every turn, including a tennis court and a swimming pool.”
This year there are some big changes on the show. Keith Schleiger steps down from his longtime role as foreman as he was unable to move to Phillip Island fulltime, so Dan Reilly will take on the role.
Veteran judge Neale Whitaker has also handed the baton on, to real estate director Marty Fox. Marty will join Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer to judge the spectacular rooms with the brief of creating a perfect holiday home.
But fans don’t have to worry, both Keith and Neale will be making special guest appearances throughout the season.
The 20th season of The Block will also be celebrated with a number of fan favourites returning to the show to lend a helping hand for this monster build. Plus, a select group of the Allstars will be helping this year’s Blockheads to create something never seen on The Block before.
The first series of The Block premiered in 2003, and 20 seasons later it is entrenched as one of the most successful shows in Australian TV history.
The Block in Phillip Island is set to celebrate a milestone 20th season in 2024 on Channel 9.
