The Graham Norton Show Channel will launch on the Roku Channel in the United States and Canada following a new agreement with ITV Studios.

Although produced by ITV Studios, The Graham Norton Show is actually broadcast by the BBC and features some of the world’s biggest stars.

Additionally, ITV Studios and the Roku Channel will launch three further Canadian offerings in the New Year including Jeremy Wade’s River Monsters which sees the fishing detective discovering everything from monstrous sharks to killer catfish in dangerous waters;Tokyo Broadcasting System’s Ninja Warrior sports entertainment reality competition; and The Hotel Inspector which sees distinguished hotelier and businesswoman Alex Polizzi’s casting fresh eyes over a number of fading hotels and their hapless owners to come to their aid.

Graham Haigh, EVP Digital, Global Partnerships said: “We’re incredibly excited to expand our relationship with Roku across the US and Canada and see these four much-loved brands reach new audiences and existing fans alike in the coming months. What better way to end the year as we launch Zoo 55 in 2025 and look to continue growing our FAST presence in these markets and beyond.”

The Graham Norton Show channel will launch on 17 December.
