The Project may have aired its final episode last week, but the Channel 10 current affairs program is continuing to live online. For the past few days, the show’s Instagram account has been posting both Australian and international news headlines to its audience of 400,000 followers.

After receiving some confused comments from people questioning whether The Project was returning following its recent cancellation, the account shared a statement on Thursday evening to clarify the situation. They confirmed that while the show is no longer on air, the social team will continue to post about the news.

“So… I posted a few things. People noticed. Slightly more than I expected,” they wrote. “Turns out, there’s a lot of news. Whether it’s serious stuff, the weird stuff, the did-that-actually-happen?! stuff. And I reckon we have enough to fill a few posts a day… and you seem to like it?

“So here’s the deal: I post news, you read it, laugh, comment, maybe have a little existential crisis (optional), and we keep building a space that feels smart, sharp and not sad all the time. Sound good? Want more? Say the word. And if you don’t… I’ll just keep pretending you do, for my mental health.”

The announcement gained 11,000 likes in 12 hours, making it one of The Project’s most popular Instagram posts in months. The post also received plenty of comments from its famous followers, including Colin Fassnidge, Matty ‘J’ Johnson, and Julie Goodwin.

“Love it!” Magda Szubanski wrote, followed by Rob Mills who said, “I’m in.”.

“I am SO HERE FOR THIS!!” former host Lisa Wilkinson commented on another recent post, while The Project’s producer Rove McManus joked, “I don’t know if I’m still paying for this, but I’m all for it”.

Julia Morris, Dannii Minogue and Georgia Love have also shown their support for the show’s ‘rebrand’, with host Sarah Harris commenting, “Here for it”.

Interestingly, Social Blade statistics show that The Project’s Instagram account has gained 12,000 followers since the announcement last month that the show had been cancelled.

This comes shortly after it was announced that The Project presenter Georgie Tunny would be joining the network’s brand-new current affairs program, 10 News+.

The show, hosted by Amelia Brace and Denham Hitchcock, premiered at 6pm on Monday and airs six days a week. Channel 10 announced in a statement on Thursday that Georgie will bring her passion for sport, news, and storytelling to the program, covering the biggest stories and events in Australia and around the world.

“I’ve always been a fan of news delivered differently and am excited to be staying with the 10 family. Can’t wait to see where this new chapter leads!” she said.

Meanwhile, Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris have both left Channel 10 following The Project’s cancellation, and Sam Taunton is expected to continue making guest appearances across the network’s entertainment shows.
