Channel Seven has revealed who the judges will be on their upcoming renovation reality show Dream Home, months after confirming that former television vet Dr. Chris Brown would be fronting the program.

Simon has previously featured on Prime Video original series Luxe Listings Sydney where his property buyer’s agency Cohen Handler was featured. 

“I’m thrilled to be part of Dream Home. The stakes are high in any competition, but when it comes to your own home, the sky’s the limit. These renovations will be incredible and absolutely life-changing,” he shared in an official media release announcing his role on the show. 

Interior designer Rosier Morley from Three Birds Renovations added: “Knowledge is power, and I think people underestimate just how many decisions they’re going to have to make.”

The series will follow six pairs of ordinary Australians as they renovate dilapidated suburban family homes into (you guessed it) dream homes.

“With grit and determination, the teams will design and rebuild each other’s outdated and dilapidated homes,” Channel Seven shared in a promo for the new series. 

The trio of judges will provide invaluable insight during the renovations, critiquing and scoring the spaces the teams put together for presentation.

Following the renovations in each state, the top three couples will then have the opportunity to have their backyards completely made over AS WELL. 

The winning couple will not only receive their very own Dream Home but a life-changing cash prize of $100,000.

While new to an Australian audience, Dream Home originally aired in New Zealand for 11 seasons between 1999 and 2013. 

Speaking about the show when it was first announced, Chris revealed that he “couldn’t wait” for “the search for Australia’s best Dream Home to land in lounge rooms” across the country.

Channel Seven’s last home renovation reality show House Rules was axed in 2020. 

But with Dr. Chris Brown and this talented team of judges to steer the ship, we are sure the revived format will sure to be a hit with audiences across the country. 

Channel Seven has yet to confirm when Dream Home Australia will premiere, but it is expected it will air sometime after Easter.
