WHEEL OF FORTUNE HANDED REDUCED FOURTH SERIES AND MOVED TO SUMMER SLOT
BAFTA-winning Graham Norton is set to return to ITV with a brand-new series of Wheel of Fortune. The nation’s favourite game of skill and luck is back with even more excitement, laughter, and big-money prizes.
TV Zone understands the fourth series will consist of just six episodes - down from the usual eight or nine which aired during previous series. With the addition of Name That Tune into ITV's January schedule, TV Zone also understands Wheel Of Fortune is currently planned to air in a Summer slot in 2027.
Each episode sees three new contestants spin the iconic wheel and solve the puzzles for their chance to win up to £50,000 - this new series also features the return of the hugely popular Couples’ Episode and introduces fresh gameplay twists, including the aptly named Bankrupt Shield which could save players from losing it all.
Get ready for more tension, triumphs, and unforgettable moments as Wheel of Fortune spins back onto our screens!
Taking Wheel Of Fortune's slot in January will be ITV's reboot of Name That Tune. each week contestants will be pitted against each other as their music knowledge is put to the test in a series of fast-paced rounds, featuring tracks from the world’s best loved artists and bands from across every genre - all building towards a nail-biting finale.
Every round is designed to challenge our music enthusiasts, asking just one simple question… Name That Tune. With a studio audience singing along and viewers at home invited to play from their living rooms, it's the ultimate soundtrack for all generations.
Based on the successful U.S. format and joining Alison is the iconic Name That Tune band, a group of elite musicians who have performed with some of the world’s biggest stars including Adele and The Spice Girls. The band will be swapping the U.S. stage for the UK, covering a plethora of music genres, in their inimitable style, live in front of a studio audience.
Can the competitors correctly decipher iconic riffs, melodies and lyrics from some of the biggest songs on the planet simply by hearing extracts from these well-known tracks? Or will they miss the beat and hit a sour note?
