Channel Seven appears to be backing its new star Dr. Chris Brown to the hilt.
In a surprise move the network has renewed the 45-year-old celebrity vet’s Dream Home series – before its first season has made its premiere.
Based on a successful New Zealand format, the reality show will see six couples attempt to convert each other’s houses room-by-room.
The show will be Brown’s network Seven series debut, after the former I’m Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here star made his shock exit from Channel 10 last year.
Producers of Dream home, meanwhile, have announced a casting call for season 2 reported TV Blackbox on Tuesday.

According to the casting notice creators are seeking couples who have dreams of renovating their home.
‘Not only will your house be transformed into the home of your dreams – for free, you’ll also be competing for a life-changing cash prize!,’ the notice said.
It continues: ‘You don’t need to be a tradie or even have any experience – just someone with an eye for design and a drive to get your hands dirty.’

According to reports, the television star is ‘feeling the pressure’ with his upcoming roles at Seven.
Besides Dream Home, there is a new animal adventure series Once In A Lifetime.
‘I do think he’s finding it tough,’ a source told New Idea magazine.
‘He’s turned his whole life upside down moving to Seven, and he could be feeling the pressure.’

The insider added the network is ‘ruthless’ for ratings and relying on Brown when the ‘cameras start rolling’.
‘He can’t afford to stuff up,’ they added.
Brown signed a two-year contract with Seven worth more than $1million a year, following his contractual obligations for I’m A Celebrity at his former network.
Dream Home is set to drop on Seven and 7Plus later in 2024.
