The Project was a New Zealand current affairs show hosted by Jesse Mulligan, Kanoa Lloyd, and Jeremy Corbett with rotating guest panelists.

The show's format was purchased from Roving Enterprises and was the same as that of the Australian version, The Project, which airs on Network Ten.

Each presenter filled a different role on the programme: the anchor (Jesse Mulligan), the newsreader (Kanoa Lloyd) and the comedian (Jeremy Corbett).

[7] Fill-in hosts throughout the first season include Ben Hurley, Peter Helliar, Jeremy Elwood, Rhys Mathewson, and Dai Henwood for Josh Thomson, Jon Bridges, Michael Wesley-Smith and Wallace Chapman for Jesse Mulligan, and Nadine Higgins (née Chalmers-Ross) for Kanoa Lloyd.

On 18 May 2018, Francesca Avent and Toby Gilsenan got married live on The Project, with Jaquie Brown officiating, as a culmination of the show's week-long celebration of the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The third season of The Project debuted on 21 January 2019, with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's partner Clarke Gayford as the fourth host.

On 17 February, they aired at 6:30pm due to a network outage at Newshub, which forced Three to re-air the 4:30pm bulletin at 6pm, and meant that they didn't have an autocue.

On 12 August, with Auckland returning to Alert Level 3, the show stopped having an audience and reverted to the three-host format.

Discovery ANZ confirmed they had commenced discussions to discontinue The Project by December 2023, citing changes in audience behaviour.
