And the milestone series has already been rocked by difficulties as the Blue Team's Jesse and Paige, from WA, reportedly quit just five weeks into filming.
The shock decision was said to be of the pair's own accord and it has been claimed they will be replaced by another eager pair on the 2024 series.
Also making up the cast are Queensland couple Kylie and Brad Vines, who will compete on the Green Team.
The upcoming series of The Block was filmed earlier this year in the popular Victorian tourism hotspot Phillip Island.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal a Channel Nine-owned company purchased Island Cove Villas on the Victorian Island for a whopping $9.5million.
Situated two-and-a-half hours from Melbourne, the site currently features nine homes, a communal pool, a BBQ pavilion, tennis court and a children's playground.
