Coronation StreetEmmerdale Crossover ‘Corriedale’ Airs Monday as One‑Off ITV Special

The event doubles as ITV's launchpad for a reworked weeknight 'soap power hour' to refresh two long‑running series.

Overview

  • Corriedale broadcasts on ITV1 at 8pm on Monday, January 5, as an hour‑long special that will not premiere early on ITVX.
  • ITV trails a multi‑vehicle crash on a country road that brings characters from both soaps together under emergency conditions.
  • A combined cast of roughly 40 features key figures from Weatherfield and the Dales, intersecting ongoing arcs such as Shona Platt’s high‑risk pregnancy.
  • Producers highlight large‑scale filming with extensive night shoots and practical stunts, including explosions and a burning coach reported across several all‑night sessions.
  • The crossover ushers in ITV’s new weekday schedule from January with Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8:30pm, part of a reduced‑hours strategy after years of audience decline.
