Tracy Grimshaw is making a grand return to television to co-host Do You Want To Live Forever? on Channel 9 later this year.
The renowned journalist, who stepped down from hosting A Current Affair after 17 years in 2022, is collaborating with esteemed medical expert Dr Nick Coatsworth in 9Network's new series which explores the quest for longer life.
Do You Want To Live Forever? premieres later this year on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Drawing on Grimshaw's investigative background and Dr Coatsworth's medical expertise, they combine journalistic finesse with medical acumen.
Together, they meticulously uncover the intricacies of ageing, seeking to determine whether we can in fact rewind our biological clock.
The program will follow four pairs of everyday Australians as they undergo medically supervised trials and health interventions that may provide clues to help us live longer.

Through them, we will understand what the future holds, but most importantly, what we can do for ourselves, our kids and even their kids, to lead better, healthier, longer lives.
Grimshaw said: "This project was Nick Coatsworth's idea and I'm really looking forward to working with him on it. I'm keen to explore exactly what a long life will look like.

Dr Coatsworth added: "For centuries people have been captivated by the idea of living forever. I am extremely excited to be working with the highly respected Tracy Grimshaw on this new series. Together, we will follow eight everyday Australians as they positively shift the dial of their health and longevity."

Do You Want to Live Forever? promises to challenge our perceptions of ageing and mortality.
Can we stay younger longer? Can we beat the diseases that take away our joy for life and ultimately kill us? Can we push the boundaries of human longevity much further than we have so far? Could we even live forever?
Most importantly, if we could, do we want to?
Join Tracy Grimshaw and Dr Nick Coatsworth on this extraordinary exploration when the series premieres later this year on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Do You Want to Live Forever? is produced by Lune Media, with executive producers David Galloway, Ashley Davies and Leonie Lowe.
Grimshaw announced she was stepping down from presenting A Current Affair in September 2022, confirming she would leave at the end of the year after 17 years as host.
Grimshaw, whose incredible career spans more than 40 years, made the emotional announcement during the show without any fanfare, telling viewers she wanted them to hear the news first.
"Normally right about now we'd be telling you what to expect tomorrow night but lately I've personally been thinking longer term, and I have some news that I wanted you to hear from me before you hear it from anyone else," she said.
"I've decided to finish up with A Current Affair this year.
"It's been a big decision and before the gossip websites start telling you rubbish, I want you to know it's been my decision alone and I'm not being shoved out the door by the boys club because I'm too old.
"I'm not too old, I'm just a bit tired. And for the record both the boys and the girls have asked me to stay.
"But I've basically been a shift worker for 26 years, driving to work before dawn for nine years on the Today Show, and the past 17 years driving home after dark here on A Current Affair, and it's time for less of that daily obligation."
Grimshaw said it was a privilege to host the show, but paid special tribute and thanks to A Current Affair's loyal viewers.
"I was just a kid in 1971 when Mike Willesee started it and in our family it was required viewing each night as Michael either forensically dismantled some politician or maybe laughed along with Hoges.
"Back then, I was going to be a vet or a flight attendant so if you'd told me that one day I'd sit in this chair, let alone occupy it for 17 years, I'd have thought you were mad. Well lucky me.
"You've let me indulge my love of interviewing here. I've talked to people who've made us all laugh and cry, who've shared their triumphs and their challenges and their wisdom and despair.

"And because it's your show, not mine, and you get to vote each night with your remote control, you told us you wanted more of that. So thank you for that opportunity.
"Thank you for your loyalty. I hope I've repaid it."
Do You Want To Live Forever? premieres later this year on Channel 9 and 9Now.
