Graham Norton set to make reality TV debut as he returns to screens

Graham Norton is set to step into uncharted territory with an exciting new TV project that marks a first in his career.  

The Neighbourhood is a brand-new reality series coming to ITV in 2026. 

Despite decades in the industry, this will be Norton’s first time fronting a reality competition, and he is eager to bring something fresh and engaging to audiences.  

Described as a mix of social dynamics, strategy, and unexpected twists, The Neighbourhood will see real families move into a specially designed community where they must learn to live together, share meals, and navigate social interactions.

However, not everything is as harmonious as it seems - contestants will secretly vote each other out while trying to maintain their popularity among their fellow residents.  

With filming set to begin this year, the show promises “dastardly challenges and a life-changing prize,” offering plenty of drama and mystery.  

Speaking about his excitement about the project, Norton shared: “Like everyone, I’m always fascinated by what happens behind closed doors. 

“Add to that some cunning challenges and a life-changing reward, and I’m hooked. 

“With Lifted and The Garden at the helm, I have no doubt that The Neighbourhood will become the nation’s go-to show.” 

The Neighbourhood sounds like it’s going to be a must-watch series, blending humour, competition, and human nature in a way that only Norton can deliver.
