Dragons' Den | Series 23 Preview (BBC One)

Dragons’ Den is back in business with a brand-new series - and the heat is on. An exciting new lineup of guest Dragons is ready to shake things up in the Den and put Britain’s boldest entrepreneurs to the ultimate test.

Seasoned investors Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, and Steven Bartlett are back in the Den to strike deals and uncover the latest collection of game-changing business ideas. Back in the Den this season is footballing icon and entrepreneur Gary Neville, alongside an exciting line-up of guest Dragons: music mogul and rapper Tinie Tempah, REFY CEO and serial entrepreneur Jenna Meek, and Tropic Skincare powerhouse Susie Ma.

This formidable new cohort of business elites is set to strike fear into the hearts of a fresh wave of entrepreneurs as they appear throughout the series. Every episode will feature one of the four sitting alongside the resident Dragons: Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Steven Bartlett, injecting excitement and fresh new insights into the world of business for audiences.

A new batch of ambitious entrepreneurs face a series first! With female Dragons outnumbering the males for the first time, there’s a power shift in the Den, as queens of commerce Susie Ma and Jenna Meek join Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett.

Pitching in the Den, a chemistry whizz promises to wash away waste with her powder-to-liquid haircare products. Two social media stars hope to bag a sweet deal with their traditional confectionery concept.

A mother and son with a handcrafted spice blend business hope a Dragon could hold the recipe for success, and a mission-led Gen Z travel start-up sets its sights on global growth.

Dragons’ Den returns Thursday 20th August at 8pm on BBC One.
