Nine has confirmed its cast for The Block 2020 which has completed renovations in Brighton, Victoria.

As previously noted, Season 16 features five period homes from the 1910s, 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s which will be transformed into five luxury homes on a 2761-square metre block.

The first ever shutdown of The Block, due to the upheaval of COVID-19, will also feature prominently in the storyline.

“We always change our show up and make it fresh and I think this is a great way of doing that, by having houses themed according to different decades,” says Scott Cam.

“I love that we are getting back to renovating family homes as well. People can watch The Block and see what the contestants are doing and get inspired to do it themselves.”

Also returning are Shelley Craft, site foremen Keith and Dan, and judges – Neale Whitaker, Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer.

The five couples chosen are:

Harry (57) and Tash (32) – The first father and daughter renovation duo, an IT manager and a social media project manager from Melbourne.
Sarah (27) and George (33) – Teacher and electrician from Sydney.
Daniel (35) and Jade (34) – Farmer and hairdresser from Wandearah in South Australia.
Luke (35) and Jasmine (36) – Chippy and teacher from Perth.
Jimmy (33) and Tam (31) – Plumber and bar manager from Brisbane.

At stake is $100,000 for the winner of The Block plus whatever profits their home can make on the critical auction day.

Get ready for The Block to take you on a fascinating renovation journey through the decades. With the drama of COVID-19 and the resulting shutdown, it will be a Block series like never seen before.

The series is expected to screen after Australian Nina Warrior concludes.

  4. I’ve only ever watched the first season of The Block in Ireland way back when. However if I knew the finale outcome was going to be by online Auction, I’d watch that too see how they tackle it.

  7. I am looking forward to it (especially given there will be no Aussie Survivor this year – my husband and I fight over what we watch live and watch later in previous years).

    I cannot imagine there will be a public viewing by fans this year given 10,000+ fans towards the end of the series visit the site! I also wonder how the auction process will play out….they have a few months before the producers have to worry about that but predict a virtual auction or alternate location to keep socially distant?
