Four Auckland townhouses are on the market, as The Block NZ joins the local television scrap heap.

The Brown's Bay homes were nearly ready for contestants on the house renovation show.

But Newshub owner Warner Brothers Discovery has confirmed today it's pulling the next season.

Host Mark Richardson says it's a shame to see the end of the show, which has been part of his life for 12 years.

"It was just light television that captured this large demographic of people, from kids to oldies. And it was just enjoyable to watch."
