BBC Orders ‘The Claudia Winkleman Show’ for Spring 2026

The series is positioned as a spring companion to Graham Norton’s show, which has a separate three-year renewal.

Overview

  • The BBC commissioned a seven-episode, 50-minute chat show for BBC One and iPlayer, produced by So Television with Little Owl.
  • ITV Studios will handle international sales as the show targets high-profile guests in a studio-audience, sofa-style format.
  • Exact transmission dates and guest line-up will be announced later, with the series slated to air in spring 2026.
  • Claudia Winkleman said she is grateful for the opportunity, joking that she is “obviously going to be awful” but thrilled to try.
  • The commission follows Winkleman’s exit from Strictly Come Dancing and her stint filling in on The Graham Norton Show; Norton's program continues in its autumn–winter slot.
