ITV Confirms Jeremy Clarkson Return with Two New Series After Cancer Update
ITV ordered 35 more episodes as the franchise’s latest series drew a seventh £1 million winner, with Clarkson returning after his cancer remission disclosure.
- On Monday, June 29, 2026, ITV announced it has recommissioned Jeremy Clarkson for 35 new episodes across two quiz shows: 20 episodes of "Millionaire Hot Seat" and 15 of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?".
- The 66-year-old presenter returns to television following a recent battle with "aggressive" prostate cancer. In a Sunday Times interview last week, Clarkson confirmed he is now officially in remission.
- Produced by Belfast-based Stellify Media, a Sony Pictures Television-backed firm, the shows achieve high ratings. ITV executive Katie Rawcliffe praised the "high-pressure gameplay" for bringing "exciting new energy" to the format.
- Filming for the 35 new episodes will begin later this year, with programs scheduled to air on ITV and its streaming platform, ITVX.
- "Millionaire Hot Seat" launched earlier this year and quickly became a top-rated program, while a retired IT analyst recently became the seventh person to win the £1 million jackpot.
