Graham Norton Show stays on BBC America for two more seasons
American fans will keep their weekly date with Graham Norton for two more years.
AMC Global Media has secured United States distribution of The Graham Norton Show for two further seasons, keeping the chat show on BBC America through Seasons 34 and 35, covering 2026-2027 and 2027-2028, according to Variety. New episodes will also continue on its streaming platforms Acorn TV, AMC+ and All Reality.
The renewal follows a ratings lift. The show's last season averaged 153,000 linear viewers on BBC America, meaning people watching the live TV broadcast, its best result in three years. Acorn TV recorded a year-over-year audience bump, while AMC+ more than doubled its streaming audience compared with the previous season.
For fans, this means no change to where to find it. BBC America remains the US television home. AMC+ and Acorn TV, both subscription streaming services from the same parent company, will carry new episodes alongside the broadcast.
The US deal sits alongside a longer commitment in Britain. Norton is signed with BBC One in the UK to continue the show through at least 2029. The series first launched on BBC Two in 2007, ran there for two seasons, then moved into BBC One's Friday night lineup, where it has stayed since.
That history helps explain the BBC America link. The US channel began as a joint venture between AMC Networks and BBC Studios, then AMC Networks took full control for a reported $42 million in 2024, according to Variety. The Graham Norton Show, a BAFTA-award-winning talk show, has been billed in the US as a BBC America Original Series, with Season 32 premiering every Friday across BBC America, AMC+ and Acorn TV, according to AMC Networks.
The format has not changed. Big film and music names share one large sofa for interviews, comedy and live music. Recent line-ups have included Paul Mescal with Denzel Washington, and an episode featuring Kylie Minogue, Stephen Graham, David Mitchell, Mawaan Rizwan and Mae Muller.
What makes this stand out is Norton's reach beyond the sofa. He is the UK's Eurovision commentator, and he appeared alongside Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee and Lewis Capaldi in Taylor Swift's music video for "Opalite".
Production in Britain is handled through Norton's company So Television under a BBC deal for three more series. With the US rights now settled to 2028, the crew behind the show has two full seasons booked on both sides of the Atlantic.
