BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT: ITV EXTENDS CONTRACT FOR FURTHER SERIES, 2026 APPLICATIONS OPEN

 EXCLUSIVE

ITV have extended its contract with Britain's Got Talent producers Fremantle for further series, with sources suggesting to TV Zone the new deal is for three series through to 2028, though this has not been confirmed by ITV.

With the current series, the last in the existing contract, continuing on ITV1 and ITVX every Saturday night until 31st May, the new deals begins next year with its nineteenth series, with applications now open.

Ant & Dec will once again lead the nation through a series of auditions featuring a wonderful array of talent, who’ll be performing to secure a spot in the finals by impressing the four inimitable judges, with the current line-up of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and special guest judge KSI.

Britain’s Got Talent is one of ITV’s biggest entertainment programmes of the year - along with over 46 million social media followers and more than 25 billion lifetime video views, BGT has firmly established itself as one of the biggest entertainment formats worldwide.

The 2024 series saw singer Sydnie Christmas crowned the winner, earning herself a life-changing £250,000 and a spot on the bill of the prestigious Royal Variety Performance, but who will take the crown for Series 18?

Previous episodes of Britain's Got Talent are available on ITVX.
