We’ve only just gotten over that bombshell season last year, yet here we are, ushering in a new era of The Block already! And by the looks of things, this season is set to be the biggest yet!

The 2024 cast were seen for the first time as they filmed the promo on Victoria’s Phillip Island, where this year’s Blockheads are set to make over a dilapidated resort and turn it into a multimillion-dollar gated community!

Paint rollers at the ready for the new season!

At one point during the day, judge Darren Palmer was seen giving his best David Hasselhoff impression as he sauntered out of the waves, as the as-yet unnamed Blockheads, all seen for the first time in their team colours, followed suit!

Darren made a very grand entrance!

Woman’s Day couldn’t help but notice that while hosts Scotty Cam and Shelley Craft and judges Shaynna Blaze and Marty Fox were there, Neale Whitaker was noticeably absent.

The interior designer announced last season that he was taking a step back from the show in order to “put family first”. Also MIA was our favourite foreman Keith, who decided to leave the pirate dress-ups to his sidekick foreman Dan.

Island Cove Villas serves as the setting this year.
