Overview

• Jeremy Clarkson will front 18 half-hour episodes of Millionaire Hot Seat, marking the UK debut of the fast-paced quiz variant.
• Adapted from Australia’s 2,500-episode series, the format puts six contestants in a timed queue where wrong answers eliminate players and passes send them to the back.
• ITV has commissioned 19 new episodes of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, including seven celebrity specials, after the show attracted 18 million viewers so far in 2025.
• Stellify Media’s co-CEO describes the spin-off as the main show’s “cheeky younger sibling,” offering a sharper pace and extra money-ladder drama.
• Production by Stellify Media begins in November 2025 ahead of a 2026 launch across ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
