ABC seeks Escape from the City

Australian pubcaster ABC has commissioned a lifestyle series that follows city residents as they seek a sea-change or tree-change in 2018.

FremantleMedia Australia (FMA) will produce Escape from the City, which will explore the nation’s obsession with property as people decide to move to coastal or regional towns or the bush.

Each hour-long episode of the original FMA format will see property experts taking one couple on the house hunt of their dreams, taking into account their needs, desires and budgets.

Each couple will be offered a choice of four homes, asking the questions: Will they find love at first sight? Or will they discover the house they love the most is the one they would never have expected?

Along the way the couples will visit local attractions to get a feel for the area they plan to move to.

In a casting call, FMA said it is seeking applications from people who are looking to buy or rent homes in a new location.

The show will premiere on the ABC in 2018.
