Graham Norton Fronts “Street-Sized” ITV Reality Gameshow BAFTA winner Graham Norton is fronting a “street-sized” 12-part reality gameshow for ITV in which families and households compete for a cash prize.

The show will see real-life households move in side-by-side to compete in challenges. Living together 24/7, they will need to stay popular with their neighbors or risk being voted out.

The series, from the development teams at ITV Studios (ITVS)’s indies Lifted Entertainment and The Garden, will run on ITV1 and streamer ITVX next year.

Lifted and The Garden are co-producing, with ITVS on international distribution duties. “Like everyone, I’m always intrigued by what goes on behind closed doors,” said presenter Norton. “Add to that some dastardly challenges and a life changing prize and I’m hooked.” Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment & Daytime at ITV, and Louise Major, Entertainment Commissioning Editor, commissioned the show. “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 John Hay, CEO of The Garden in a joint statement.
