The new season of The Block has it all: the return of Scott Cam and Shelley Craft, a guest appearance by legendary Australian singer Kylie Minogue, and a once-great property in need of major refurbishing called The Oslo.
There’s also five new teams set to take on the most ambitious project in the show’s 15 season history! Yep, a whole new batch of Blockheads.
“At the start I looked at this and thought that’s impossible,” says host Scotty.
“Here we have double the size of what we did last year, and more than six times the size of the original Block in Bondi back in 2003. That’s a big ask.”

Joining Scotty and Shelley on the hit show once more will be site foremen Keith and Dan, and judges Neale Whitaker, Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer.
This year’s teams have been chosen from more than 45,000 entries, with one team set to follow in the footsteps of 2018 winners Hayden and Sara.
At stake is $100,000 for The Block winner plus whatever profits their home can make on auction day.
