ITV Confirms Second Series of The Assembly to Air with New Celebrities
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 17 – The Assembly returns with an extended second series and an additional unseen instalment after critical acclaim and audience praise across 14 territories, including the UK and France.
- ITV confirmed The Assembly will return with a longer second series airing in 2026 on ITV1, ITVX, STV, and STV Player including The Assembly: Unseen.
- The show's format, featuring a panel of autistic and neurodivergent interviewers asking unfiltered questions, proved popular and will remain unchanged for season two.
- The first series aired earlier this year to wide acclaim with celebrities like Jade Thirlwall, Danny Dyer, David Tennant, and Gary Lineker opening up candidly.
- Jade Thirlwall admitted she felt she had "sold her soul" early in her career but has since regained creative freedom, comparing it to "collecting parts of my soul back" like Thanos with stones.
- The Assembly's successful reception and ITV executives' enthusiasm suggest the show will continue to challenge traditional celebrity interviews and attract notable guests in its extended run.
