Stranded on Honeymoon Island

The world’s hottest new reality format is coming to Seven

The hottest new reality format in the world is coming to Australia with the Seven Network today announcing it has commissioned Stranded on Honeymoon Island, the big, new dating social experiment from the creators of the world’s No. 1 relationship show, Married at First Sight.

Premiering on Channel 7 and 7plus in 2024, Stranded on Honeymoon Island sees couples matched by experts following an extraordinary dating event, before being sensationally stranded on a deserted island in nothing but their wedding attire. Isolated and pitted against the forces of nature, can true love blossom and thrive or will surviving the elements push them apart?

Seven’s Chief Content Officer, Entertainment Programming, Angus Ross, said: “There is good reason broadcasters around the world have fallen in love with Stranded on Honeymoon Island and Seven is thrilled to bring this hot new series to Australian audiences.

“Snowman Productions and Endemol Shine Australia’s track record of success speaks for itself, and now they’re taking the reality dating genre to a whole new addictive level, blending fledgling love with the adventure of a lifetime. We have no doubt viewers will lap up every minute of this bold and exciting new format.”

Endemol Shine Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Newman, said: “Stranded On Honeymoon Island is a bold, fresh and filmic new relationship experiment with a dramatic and instantly compelling opening. The inspired fusion of the most powerful elements of the survival and relationship genres has created a raw, honest and utterly absorbing take on the search for love that Australian audiences will find completely irresistible!”

Managing Director of Red Arrow Studios International, Tim Gerhatz, said: “Stranded on Honeymoon Island is really creating a sensation among broadcasters around the world and we are absolutely delighted that the Seven Network has snapped up the show for Australia so soon after its successful launch in Belgium. We are sure that Seven’s viewers will love its heady combination of real-life experience and exotic escapism.”

Stranded on Honeymoon Island is created by Danish production company Snowman Productions and produced by Endemol Shine Australia for the Seven Network. Seven acquired the rights to Stranded on Honeymoon Island from Red Arrow Studios International, who distribute the format internationally. Snowman Productions and Red Arrow Studios International are part of Seven.One Studios.

Stranded on Honeymoon Island is already a huge hit in Belgium, delivering record ratings, with a number of other territory deals soon to be unveiled.

AT 7.30PM ON CHANNEL 9 AND 9NOW

Australia’s favourite entertainment show, the Logie Award winning LEGO® Masters, is returning April 10 at 7.30pm for its fifth and biggest season yet on Channel 9 and 9Now.

In a world first, the winners and top teams from previous seasons plus a new wildcard duo will face off in a supersized competition to determine the best of the best in LEGO ® Masters: Grand Masters.

Hamish Blake is back as host, alongside judge Ryan “Brickman” McNaught, for the toughest challenges ever, and new twists and turns to truly test this elite group of champion builders.

Ryan said: “Being Grand Masters, the expectation is already there. They all know they need to bring something new and exciting, something beyond their best, something we’ve never seen before, and they sure do.”

This year the challenges are tougher than ever, testing each contestant’s skills like never before. They include LEGO® worlds suspended high above the ground; an exciting movie mayhem scene using motors and explosives; and a rocket being launched into the sky.

There will also be special guest appearances from Sophie Monk, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki and – to celebrate 100 years of Disney storytelling – the iconic character Mickey Mouse.

Hamish said: “To be invited back this season for Grand Masters I think really solidifies me as the best host that has ever hosted LEGO® Masters Australia, and that is a huge honour.”

LEGO® Masters: Grand Masters will hit unbelievable heights of creativity as the best brick builders in the nation raid the ever-expanding brickpit to get one up on each other. Expect the greatest builds in LEGO® TV history as they battle for the most prized trophy of all.

Melissa Leong And Amaury Guichon Unveiled As Judges Of MasterChef: Dessert Masters.

Aussie viewers are in for a sweet treat this year with news that the delectable debut series of MasterChef: Dessert Masters will be headlined by judges Melissa Leong and internationally renowned chef Amaury Guichon. 

Melissa and Amaury have all the ingredients to make this world-first addition to the MasterChef franchise a recipe for sweet success. 

Cannes-born pastry chef, Amaury Guichon, is no stranger to addictive viewing. He has amassed over 50 million followers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook for his chocolate masterpieces that mimic roulette wheels, robots, rocking horses, skateboards and more. 

From delicate sugar work to life-sized chocolate sculptures, complex cakes and picture-perfect pastries, there is nothing this classically trained young gun can’t master. 

Amaury’s incredible edible creations are matched only by his impressive resumé. At 21, Amaury was hired as the youngest executive pastry chef in Paris; now at 31 he boasts a 17-year career in pastry. Being in the spotlight is a piece of cake for Amaury, who hosted his own highly successful Netflix series, School of Chocolate in 2021. 

Caramel and sea salt, lemon and meringue, cookies and cream – some things just go better together. That’s where fellow judge Melissa Leong comes in. 

A food writer, critic, cookbook editor, radio presenter and MC, Melissa has become one of the nation’s favourite television personalities, for her role as a judge on MasterChef Australia. 

Melissa is a household name who has worked with some of the most respected names and brands in Australian food, including Adriano Zumbo and Gelato Messina – so she knows what it takes to make a dynamite dessert. 

Melissa said: “Desserts have the capacity to be magical. I’m excited to see what these talented chefs are capable of when let loose in the MasterChef kitchen. 

“Creating a memorable dessert takes years of practice, technique and an exacting eye for detail. Throw people with these qualities into a place like the MasterChef kitchen and stand back… who knows what they will bring to life.” 

Amaury said: “I feel very honoured to have been chosen to be part of this wonderful new adventure that will once again highlight our beautiful industry with all its craft and complexity. I am excited to discover what the contestants will create in order to wow us!” 

Some of the most exciting names in pastry, desserts and all things sweet and delicious will bring their elite skills to the competition as they contend to be the nation’s first Dessert Master, and with $100,000 on the line, the pressure is on not to fudge it up. 

Stay tuned for updates on the ultimate guilty pleasure indulgence, coming very soon to 10 and 10 Play. 

Property Entrepreneurs Mitch And Mark To Host Location, Location, Location.

Property experts Mitch Edwards and Mark McKie plan to bring some fun and flair to house hunting when the dynamic duo front Network 10's new series Location, Location, Location.

Mitch and Mark won The Block in 2021 and have been buying and flipping properties together for nearly two decades, transforming some 20 properties from undesirable abodes into highly sought after homes, and ultimately turning their passion for property and renovating from a hobby into a successful career.

Mitch and Mark will use their extensive property prowess, buying, negotiating and real estate experience, and knowledge of the market to help everyday Australians find their dream home. Whether they are first-time home buyers or retiring, upsizing or downsizing, the duo will guide their house hunters through one of the most important and nerve-racking decisions of their lives.

Mitch and Mark said: "We are so excited to be hosting Location, Location, Location. It’s such a privilege to meet and help Aussies looking to find their new home in such a dynamic market, where hidden opportunities are just waiting to be found. 

"We’ve learnt a lot from our own experiences of searching, buying, renovating and selling properties. We know how to look through the staging to see what a property is really offering, the good and the bad, and seeing the opportunities that others might not see in an ‘ugly duckling’ property that you can transform into a swan!

"We’ve loved watching the UK series, and now we are so thrilled to add our touch to the Aussie series. It’s going to be so much fun sharing our experience and knowledge."

Daniel Monaghan, Senior Vice President, Content and Programming, Paramount ANZ, said: "Mitch and Mark have really captured the nations heart and we are excited to have them join us here at 10. Their authentic, fun and warm approach makes them a perfect fit for the Network. 

"Mitch and Mark aren’t just expert renovators, they’ve built successful careers in sales and marketing and their own property empire. Their unique backgrounds place them perfectly to shed some much needed light on Australia’s property market as they help Aussies make the most important purchase of their lives, plus we know they’ll make it entertaining! What’s not to love?"
