The format will see families move in next door to each other. They’ll stay there for the duration of the show, living side-by-side and socialising, before voting one another out. A series of public challenges will keep things moving, as contestants try to stay popular with the very people they’re trying to get rid of. The winning household goes home with a life-changing cash prize.

The show will be a co-production between Lifted Entertainment and The Garden, both of which are part of ITV Studios.

 “Like everyone, I’m always intrigued by what goes on behind closed doors,” said Graham Norton. “Add to that some dastardly challenges and a life changing prize and I’m hooked.”

“The Neighbourhood offers audiences the perfect blend of high-stakes competition and reality drama, with a very relatable cast,” said Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment & Daytime at ITV. “With the beloved Graham Norton at the helm, it’s going to make for an unmissable entertainment experience.”

“In a TV landscape full of successful formats set in jungles, islands and luxurious villas, The Neighbourhood offers a fresh and different flavour: it’s a show all about the drama on our doorsteps,” said Richard Cowles, Managing Director at Lifted Entertainment and The Garden CEO John Hay said. This is a world we know and love from soaps and sitcoms, so we’re excited to make it the setting for a new type of competition reality show and there’s no better person to bring it to life than Graham.” 

The Neighbourhood will air on ITV1 in 2026, when it will also be available on ITVX.
