AIR DATE FOR NEXT SERIES OF BEAT THE CHASERS PUSHED BACK BY ITV

The air date for the next series of Beat The Chasers has been pushed back by ITV, TV Zone understands. Earlier this year ITV confirmed the eighth series would broadcast in 2026, however it's now looking likely the series won't air until early 2027.

An ITV spokesperson told TV Zone: "Beat The Chasers is a proud part of our entertainment slate and, as always, scheduling for the next series is confirmed closer to transmission."

Beat The Chasers sees individuals take on all six Chasers - The Governess, The Vixen, The Menace, The Dark Destroyer, The Beast and The Sinnerman - in the hope of winning a huge cash prize.

To build a cash pot, the contestants have to answer multiple choice questions - get the first one wrong, and they are out, but answer one or more correctly and they get to face the Chasers, who offer time and money in order to take them on.

If the contestants get all Cash Builder questions right, they are given a super offer to face all the Chasers for up to £600,000 - the endgame is a nail-biting head-to-head race against the clock.

Run out of time before the Chasers and the contestants go home with nothing, but if the Chasers run out of time before them, they will win the money for their nominated charities. With Bradley Walsh as our presenter, is anyone good enough to take on the greatest quiz team that ever lived?

This Summer ITV launched new The Chase spin-off The Chase Around The World. Hosted by Bradley Walsh, the competition takes contestants on a global adventure competition and sees six pairs of contestants attempt to track down the biggest brains in Britain - all six of The Chasers - in undisclosed locations around the globe. Unravelling puzzles along the way, the winning pair will pit their knowledge against The Chasers in order to win a life-changing prize pot.

Beat The Chasers is available now on ITVX.
