With nearly 250M followers across social media and syndication in 200+ territories, the franchise continues its global momentum with new animated episodes on ITV2 and worldwide distribution through Warner Bros. Discovery.

Set to air later this year, "Olivia & Alex: Parenthood" offers intimate access to the couple’s real-life journey as they grow their young family from 3 to 4, whilst dealing with the emotional aftermath of losing one of their twins during early pregnancy.

Set to return in early 2026 from South Africa with a six-week run, the franchise continues to dominate the 16–34 demographic, delivering ITVX’s biggest series since launch and a social reach of 2.3 billion.

Premiering in 2026, the 10-part series follows 10 young chefs competing in a high-pressure kitchen under Michelin-starred chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, blending food, drama, and personal stakes in a hybrid competition-reality format.

Marking its third international deal, the UK-born format heads to TV 2 with a celebrity twist. The UK version reached 3.1 million viewers and enjoyed 5.9 million streams on ITVX, and returns for a second series later this year.
