The show sees celebrities open up like never before. They’re quizzed by an audience of people who are autistic, neurodivergent and/or learning disabled.
It has gone down a treat with viewers for two successful series. Now, ITV has announced a third run.
The Assembly confirmed for third series
ITV has confirmed that The Assembly will return for a third series following the success of series two.
The show has previously saw the likes of Sir Stephen Fry, Sir Lenny Henry, Rylan, Nicola Sturgeon, Aitch, Danny Dyer, Gary Lineker and Jade Thirlwall be quizzed.
Just like the previous two series, the show’s third run will see celebrities facing questions that viewers may not even realise they want answered.
Rockerdale Studios produces the show. The company, together with ITV, has worked with autistic and neurodivergent organisations to ensure every element of The Assembly works for and with autistic and neurodivergent voices.
The Assembly viewers set for ‘complete rollercoaster’
Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment, Reality & Daytime Commissioning ITV, has said: “We’re immensely proud of this series.
“The Assembly takes the celebrities and viewers on a complete rollercoaster ride. It really is a show where you have to expect the unexpected.”
David Smyth, Entertainment & Reality Commissioning Editor ITV added: “There are so many
more celebrities who need The Assembly experience.
“Everyone that’s done it walks away saying it’s the best thing they’ve ever done, and the warmth we receive from fans and critics alike shows viewers agree. We can’t wait to get cracking with more.”
More celebrities to face ‘thrilling’ questions
In addition, Michelle Singer of Rockerdale Studios said: “That we get to return to ask more questions of even more celebrities is thrilling, of course.
“That our brilliant team on and behind the cameras can come back to do what, collectively, we do best is wonderful. We can’t wait for audiences to see and hear more.”
Finally, Stu Richards of Rockerdale Studios gushed: “Crikey, here we go again. I’m buzzing. I can’t wait to make a show in which we ask Queen Camilla about her first kiss or The Pope how often he clips his toenails.
“To be clear we haven’t booked any of those people. I’m just manifesting.”
