We’re all familiar with the sun, sand, and steady drama of Summer Bay. It’s been Home and Away’s backdrop for nearly four decades. But now, something different is on the cards, and something that’s never happened before in the show’s history.
A Big Move After Nearly Four Decades
For the first time in 37 years, Home and Away is heading to Western Australia to film a special storyline. It’s not just a one-day shoot, this will be a proper storyline set across multiple WA locations, including Perth, the coastline, and even the outback. Production is expected to start in October 2025, and the details of the plot and cast haven’t been shared yet.
The producers have confirmed that WA’s unique landscape will play a key part in the episodes. The move is part of a partnership with Tourism Western Australia, which aims to showcase the state’s natural beauty through the show’s wide audience.
Home and Away: WA Becomes Part Of the Story
According to producer Lucy Addario, the team is genuinely looking forward to filming in the west. She said the cast and crew are excited to explore somewhere completely new. She also described WA as having stunning scenery and a wide variety of landscapes that suit the scale of this storyline.
The WA setting is expected to play an active role in shaping the feel of the storyline. While we don’t know yet how it will connect to the main characters or plots, it’s being treated as a major moment in the show. The Western Australia episodes are set to air in 2026 on Seven and 7plus. It gives the production team time to create something that feels different. But it still fits into the world of Home and Away.
After so many years based in one location, this shift to Western Australia feels like a natural next step. It shows the team’s ongoing effort to keep the show feeling current without losing its identity.
