ITV announced the star-studded line-up for brand new reality game show Celebrity Sabotage (produced by Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios). Joel Dommett, Judi Love, Sam Thompson and GK Barry star in the show where nothing is what it seems.

Each week, unsuspecting contestants believe they’re taking part in a brand-new TV show – from cook-offs to murder mysteries. But behind the scenes? Celebs are hiding in a high-tech HQ, plotting pranks and pulling strings to complete outrageous stunts… all to win the contestants a secret cash prize! Expect disguises, props, big laughs – and guest saboteurs like Jill Scott, Jo Brand, Guz Khan, Olivia Attwood, Harry Redknapp and more stirring up even more trouble.

We were treated to not one but two first looks this week…

Gomorrah – The Series. The Origins lands in January 2026 (produced by Sky Studios and Cattleya, part of ITV Studios). The series will recount the rise of mobster Pietro Savastano.

Lauren Lyle is back in action. The double BAFTA Scotland winner returns as DI Karen Pirie in the highly anticipated second series of the award-winning cold-case drama from World Productions (part of #ITVStudios). Series 2 of Karen Pirie drops in July.

The ratings are in for The Girl Who Caught A Killer (produced by Plimsoll Productions, part of ITV Studios) and it’s a hit! The series aired on both Sky Documentaries and Sky Showcase at the same time and ranked as Sky’s highest rated true crime series of 2025 to date.

The two-part series tells the extraordinary story of Rachael Watts, who survived a brutal attack at just seven years old and, decades later, breaks her silence to share how her voice helped bring a killer to justice.

A HUGE week next week for us at The Monte Carlo Festival. Good Cop/Bad Cop (distributed by ITV Studios), is nominated for a Golden Nymph Award, alongside The Bombing of Pan Am 103, (produced by World Productions, part of ITV Studios) and One Hundred and Thirteen (distributed by ITV Studios). We’ve got our fingers crossed!

Off the back of the I Kissed A Boy sizzling finale, the BBC has announced the much-loved I Kissed A Girl series will be back in 2026. The format produced by Twofour (part of ITV Studios) has been running for three summers with casting now open for a fourth.
