Production

Applications for the twentieth season of the series opened in September 2023 until 15 October 2023, looking for couples aged between 18 and 65 years old being sought by casting agents.[3] Filming is expected to be a 12 week shoot period from late February 2024.[4] In September 2023, the twentieth season of The Block was officially confirmed at Nine's 2024 upfronts.[5] [6] The location for this season was set to be in Daylesford, Victoria, however due to permit issues and complaints by local residents, Nine decided not to build in the area and started searching for a new location.[7] [8] [9] In October 2023, it was reported Nine had purchased the Island Cove Villas, set over 2.5 acres, for $9.5 Million on Phillip Island.[10] [11] On 3 November 2023, the location was officially confirmed by Nine.[12] [13] In December 2023, a tall privacy wall was built around the perimeter of the location to prevent locals from entering the premises.[14] In May 2024, foreman Keith Schleiger announced he would be drawing back his appearance to guest this season due to family commitments.[15] On 26 June 2024, the first teaser was shown which also revealed the contestants.[16] It was also revealed that longtime judge Neale Whitaker would not be returning to the show as a regular judge, after previously stepping back on judging duties in 2023. Marty Fox will return as his replacement, and Whitaker will make a guest appearance.[17]
