TEN has confirmed renovation show Changing Rooms for 2019.
The UK format, which ran for 17 seasons, ran in Australia for 8 seasons for Nine, hosted by Suzie Wilks.
As indicated by a previous casting announcement, the format sees Sydney-based couples swap houses with their family, friends or neighbours. Each pair decorate several key rooms in each other’s homes, guided by designers before a final reveal.
“Our new show will capture the essence and appeal of the original format and re-energise it, with strong storylines and more kitchen and bathroom reveals, which are proven favourites with Australian viewers” Network TEN Chief Content Officer, Beverley McGarvey said.
“Created by the people behind such proven hits as MasterChef Australia and Australian Survivor, the new Changing Rooms will be fun, bright, energetic and great family viewing.
“Changing Rooms proved that renovation could be more than informative: it could also be full of fun, big characters and tension. We cannot wait to bring our exciting new version to viewers.”
Endemol Shine Australia CEO, Mark Fennessy said: “It’s the series that changed the nation’s living rooms and brought in a new era of DIY. Changing Rooms – it’s great to have you back!”
Filming will take place in Sydney from late October to mid December.
A host will be announced soon.

I noticed Ten also putting out a casting call for people in Sydney with “2 or 3 bedroom apartments” wanting a renovation. You’ll have to appear on the show but won’t be doing the work. Any idea what that’s for?
Sometimes Living Room does call outs.
True, but this seemed oddly specific about the size and type of property.
Given that Denyer, Morris and Brown all have 300 shows each next year and this year, maybe give Amanda Keller another show so she can catch up
Well it could be worse …..
I will try all new shows….before I offer up and opinion….just saying… 🙂
I don’t care for these Reno shows so I sort of hope it fails for that reason.
Aditionally (and I am trying to be as unbias as possable in saying this) I would be very weary to do a Reno show if I was ten. The market is pretty saturated (with Block and My House Rules).
Reno shows will air in 2019, but I think only two (possiblly one) will see the light of day in 2020.
Loved this when it was on Nine back when they had more to offer. I’ll watch this on TEN on the condition that it’ll be one episode per week for no longer than 60 mins. Otherwise I’m not prepared to dedicate time to it.
With all these new show announcements, how will they fit in any pilot week shows?
Surely there will be some input from Peter Everett, one of the leading lights of the original series, Ethel Merman impersonation as a bonus!
He’d be happy to whip up a meal for them all and then Ten would have have both food and décor in one – sort of “Ready, Steady, Create”
Hey channel ten come up with your own ideas. I’m so over these reboots. Oh wait they’re now owned by CBS who love to rehash tv shows. If you’re really keen the one show I want to see come back is The Amazing Race Australia!
Well there’s a contradiction in 3 sentences? To be fair there are also original titles being produced.
I know. I was just saying if there was one show they reboot, then bring that one back. There are original titles being produced yes, that is true but most of them look awful unfortunately.
Yes, bring back TAR Australia! <333333333
Everyone is calling for it!
Perhaps they will get Jamie Durie to do this one as he is already on the payroll for the living room
Denyer odds on favourite to host.
Is this as well as Reno swap or instead of?
Seems Reno Swap was a casting notice title and not a show title. Same show.
Barry Due Bois would make a good host.
No Grant Denyer as host or the viewers will be after you Ten. (It won’t bother me as I won’t watch anyway). My biggest guess for host would be Amanda Keller though.
Has to be Miguel Maestre
A host will be announced soon…. surely we already know who it’s gonna be…?!
No more than 1 episode a week please, and no more than 60 minutes, otherwise you will milk it too much and it will wither very quickly
