The Project star Georgie Tunny has officially signed on to join a surprising new program amid a major programming shake up at Channel 10.

Channel 10 has confirmed The Project star Georgie Tunny has officially signed on to narrate their upcoming series House Hunters Australia.

Tunny, 34, joined The Project as a permanent host in 2022 during Ten’s infamous panel shake up which saw the likes of Carrie Bickmore, Peter Helier and Tommy Little leave the program.

In a statement, Ten announced they were doubling down on Tunny for the network’s highly anticipated Aussie edition of House Hunters.

House Hunters and its spin-off House Hunters International have been airing in the United States and internationally for over two decades and are known in the TV industry as one of the most cost-effective shows to make.

Each episode sees a couple inspect three possible dream homes with the viewers left to decide which house the participants chose.

“Narrated by The Project’s Georgie Tunny, the stakes are high as buyers tour three homes, each offering a unique mix of pros, cons, and unexpected decisions,” the network said in a statement.

“Whether it’s debating modern kitchens versus heritage charm, clashing over pools and veggie patches, or weighing city life against coastal escapes, each episode is packed with big personalities and even bigger decisions.”

While House Hunters International episodes usually take place in exotic destinations like Spain, Iceland and the Caribbean, Ten revealed that their version will feature exclusively “Australian backdrops”.

“With stunning Australian backdrops, plenty of laughs, and the occasional wild card property that could change everything, every episode delivers the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of the final choice,” a spokesperson said in a statement.

The announcement comes as the network continues to rebuild and revamp its programming lineup after wielding the axe to ageing franchises like The Bachelor and The Masked Singer.

Earlier this month, the channel gave the greenlight for Sam Pang’s late night show to return for a “second run” of episodes just weeks after its debut in March.

House Hunters Australia will premiere on Sunday, 11 May at 8.20pm on 10 and 10 Play, straight after MasterChef Australia, before moving to Friday nights at 7.30pm.
