THE ASSEMBLY: UNSEEN CONFIRMED FOR ITV

ITV has announced it will air an additional episode - The Assembly: Unseen - with new content from the smash-hit ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player series. 

Extra interview sections from Danny Dyer, David Tennant, Jade Thirlwall and Gary Lineker's episodes feature more honest, heartwarming and funny questions from The Assembly as well as more from the musical performances. 

Since launch the series has so far reached nearly 5 million viewers and is currently the third most-watched series on ITVX. The Assembly: Unseen will drop on ITVX on Sunday 11th May and will air on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player on Sunday 18th May. 

ITV are set to commission a second series of The Assembly following the success of its first outing. The Sun newspaper suggest producers have already started scouting for potential guests.

The format, which followed a BBC pilot last year, saw celebrities being questioned by a remarkable group of inquisitive interviewers who are autistic, neurodivergent and/or learning disabled. ITV are yet to formally announced a second series.

Each episode of The Assembly sees a different celebrity forced to cast aside everything they were ever taught by their media trainers as they each face their most honest, funny, chaotic – and heartwarming – interview to date. Carefully considered PR fluff won’t cut it on this show, and the celebrities can expect plenty of mischief and surprises once they get in the hotseat…

On the first series, currently streaming on ITVX were actors Danny Dyer, David Tennant, singer Jade Thirlwall and broadcaster Gary Lineker.

The Assembly is available now on ITVX.
