ITV Sets Bullseye Return for Nov. 9 With Freddie Flintoff as Host

The revival leans on the original format during a boom in darts led by teen star Luke Littler.

Overview

  • ITV confirms a full series launch on Sunday, Nov. 9 on ITV1 and ITVX, with an additional Christmas special planned.
  • The format mirrors the classic show with a ‘thrower’ and a ‘knower’, prize rounds, and a final gamble for Bully’s Mystery Star Prize.
  • Freddie Flintoff returns as presenter, says he dislikes delivering the catchphrase “have a look at what you could have won,” and describes throwing darts on-air as nerve‑wracking.
  • The series features scorer Richard Ashdown and top professionals, with current world champion Luke Littler among the players taking part.
  • Flintoff says he studied vintage episodes and notes a shift from the original’s one-take feel to modern stop-start filming, and he singles out Stephen Bunting’s appearance as a standout moment.
