Unspoiled (In Development)
A groundbreaking television format that perfectly embodies the spirit of bold, original Australian storytelling
Created by Jamie Durie, Neville Poelina, and Melanie Hogan, Unspoiled is an adventurous and inspiring format that takes city-dwellers out of their comfort zones and into the vast Australian outback, where they trade Wi-Fi for wisdom, skyscrapers for red dirt, and routine for rediscovery. Guided by Neville’s indigenous wisdom and bush survival skills, the show promises a mix of humour, resilience, and cultural insight, reinforcing the deep connection between people and the land, with life lessons we can all apply.
“Unspoiled” wins $50,000 2025 AACTA Reg Grundy Award in a record-breaking year for submissions
Jamie Durie, Neville Poelina, and Melanie Hogan are thrilled to bring Unspoiled to life, "We’re going to have so much fun with this series—taking city dwellers out bush and immersing them in ancient wisdom, nature’s best life hacks, and a world far beyond their daily routine. We’re pretty confident they’ll come back with a renewed spirit—and maybe even a few new survival skills!"
The Unspoiled team took the stage to accept their award at the 2025 AACTA Awards presented by Foxtel Group, held on Friday, February 7 at HOTA, Gold Coast.
