The Project has made a comeback by announcing a lineup of “new faces” through Instagram reels just months after being axed earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Network Ten\u2019s flagship current affairs program, which was replaced by 10 News+, took to the social media platform on Sunday to tease its return.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a minute, but yes, I\u2019m still alive,\u201d a post read.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve changed the password, and thanks to your support, I\u2019ve roped in some mates to help make sense of the madness we call news.<\/p>\n
\u201cStarting tonight, you\u2019ll also see some new faces tackling life\u2019s biggest mysteries!\u201d<\/p>\n
The post continued by saying Melbourne comedian Louis Hanson would feature first with a festive question that would divide households.<\/p>\n
People flooded the comments to express their excitement about The Project\u2019s revival.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate this account still being around more than you know,\u201d one person said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI miss The Project so much. Loved my daily news and connection to the world. Glad this channel is keeping it alive,\u201d a third person said.<\/p>\n
Hours later, Hanson made his debut through a lighthearted reel in which he attempted to answer the question: \u201cWhen is the right time to put up your Christmas tree?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow early is too early?\u201d Louis said in Melbourne’s CBD, before breaking down the debate.<\/p>\n
He said some Aussies were challenging the tradition of setting up their trees on December 1 by dusting off the decorations as early as October.<\/p>\n
The comedian, whom The Project dubbed the \u2018Christmas expert\u2019, on Instagram Stories quipped he would be adding the new title to his LinkedIn profile.<\/p>\n
\u201cCatch me each week investigating a new topic over on The Project,\u201d Louis wrote.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The show’s switch to short-form content comes after it finished airing after 16 years and more than 4,500 episodes on June 27.<\/p>\n
