Take a look at ITV1 and ITVX’s brand new strategic quiz show with a big twist, Nobody’s Fool, hosted by Danny Dyer and Emily Atack.
In this fiendish competition, the fate of the contestants isn’t decided by how smart they are, but how smart their fellow contestants think they are.
Across the series, the players must determine who is the weakest amongst them and eliminate them.
With quizzes played in secret, preconceptions, prejudices and first impressions start to come into play, with snap judgements and misdirection keeping the contestants, and viewers, guessing.
As each of the contestants sets out to prove their worth and value to the rest of the group, can the players suss out who is a genuine asset and who is simply faking it in a bid to stay in the game? And can a blagger with a plan ever beat a genius without one?

AMC GLOBAL MEDIA AND CHRIS HARDWICK ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP ON RELAUNCH OF "I THINK YOU'RE OVERTHINKING IT" PODCAST
The Vodcast will Consist of 12 Episodes with Weekly Guests Including Billy Magnussen, Alison Brie, Jason Ritter, Nathan Fillion, Eli Roth, Lamorne Morris and More
NEW YORK - May 18, 2026 - AMC Global Media and Host, Comedian and Podcast pioneer Chris Hardwick today announced a new partnership on the relaunch of the "I Think You're Overthinking It" podcast which focuses on pop culture, movies, TV, music, comedy and more, all through the lens of overthinking. The audio and video podcast, which tapes in Los Angeles will feature weekly guests, including Billy Magnussen (The Audacity, Lilo & Stitch), Alison Brie (Glow, Community) Nathan Fillion (The Rookie, Castle), Jason Ritter (Matlock, Captain Fall), Eli Roth (Ice Cream Man, Borderlands), and Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Fargo) with more to be announced. "I Think You're Overthinking It" vodcast consists of 12 hour-long episodes and will be available weekly across AMC Global Media's broader distribution system, including AMC+, All Reality, FAST channels, YouTube and digital/podcast platforms, beginning Sunday, May 31.
In this vodcast series, comedian and pop culture enthusiast Hardwick invites friends and fellow celebrities for deep-dive, free-flowing conversations that explore the intersection of personal hobbies, life lessons, and the obsessive side of fandom - all while attempting to navigate the beautiful, neurotic mess of overthinking everything.
"We are delighted to collaborate and reunite with Chris, who has an unmatched ability to tap into the heart of pop culture - whether its music, movies, TV and all the wonderful corners of fandom - and turn that curiosity into smart, entertaining conversation," said Ben Davis, EVP of scripted programming for AMC Global Media. "This podcast is a natural extension of the world our audiences love, and we couldn't be more excited to bring his voice and perspective back into the AMC Global Media family."
"AMC and I had been looking for the right way to work together again after 'Talking Dead' wrapped in 2022 and this felt like a natural fit. I stepped away from podcasting that same year for a bit during a parenting hiatus, and when I brought the show back last year, it evolved into 'I Think You're Overthinking It.' The podcast has always been rooted in conversations about curiosity, anxiety, fandom, creativity, all the ways our brains can spiral when we care deeply about something, and how to get out of our own way. When AMC saw an opportunity to expand it into a video series, it felt like the perfect next step," said Hardwick.
The podcast is a co-production with AMC Studios and ID1OT with Drama 3/4 producing.
Hardwick previously hosted AMC Global Media's Emmy-nominated series Talking Dead, the long-running after-show for The Walking Dead franchise, where he discussed the latest episode with cast members, show producers, fans and other actors. Talking Dead is available on AMC+.
The Try Guys‘ bonkers cooking competition “Phoning It In” has rounded out its slate of judges, cast members and contestants for Season 4. The show premiered its fourth installment on the independent streamer 2nd Try TV on May 6 before it rolls onto YouTube starting May 30.
Chris Ying, Justin Pichetrungsi, Elizabeth Falkner, Jordan Myrick, Jimmy Wong, Jen Yee, Nick Schreiber and Rie McClenny have joined the series as judges. Melissa King and Kat Turner are contestants.
The competition locks elite chefs out of the kitchen, instead forcing them to coach unqualified comedians from afar, guiding them only via telephone to bring their culinary visions to the plate. Previously announced chefs and judges this season include: Kristen Kish, Josh Scherer, Jonny Manganello, Mitzi Reyes and Monique Chan.
The contestants include comedians from the TryCast universe: Ash Perez, Ryan Garcia, Jared Popkin, Kwesi James, Ryann Graham, Joyce Louis-Jean and Rainie Toll. Previously announced contestants include Try Guys Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld, as well as Miles Bonsignore and “Smosh’s” Angela Giarratana.
“We’re making the biggest food competition show on YouTube with the biggest chefs in the world, and it’s been awesome to step our game up every season,” said Kornfeld and Habersberger in a statement.
Reports of the demise of "Battle on the Beach" have apparently been exaggerated.
HGTV's epic surfside home renovation competition Battle on the Beach will head to the Grand Strand, South Carolina's hot vacation destination, in its latest seven-episode season premiering Monday, June 1, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. During the series, which attracted 15.5 million viewers across linear and streaming to its last run, HGTV stars Sarah Baeumler (Rock the Block), Mika Kleinschmidt (100 Day Dream Home) and Ty Pennington (Rock the Block) will each mentor a two-person team of promising renovators as they vie to transform lackluster beachfront vacation properties - and the biggest homes in Battle on the Beach history - into stunning waterfront escapes that deliver top reviews and top dollar.
Armed with $100,000, seven weeks and invaluable advice from their respected mentors, the teams will overhaul the dated digs while navigating unprecedented design challenges, including repurposing discarded roadside finds in their homes and swapping partners for the chance at additional prize money. Husband-and-wife renovation duo Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama (Renovation Aloha) will determine which team increases the rental value of each week's revamped space, with the winner given a critical choice: take home $3,000 now or apply $6,000 to the final grand prize. When the stunning renos are complete, the team who clinches the highest peak season rate for their short-term rental will claim a cash prize of at least $50,000, with their mentor boasting ultimate bragging rights.
With the UFL already closing up the regular season this weekend, let's take a minute to appreciate.............this.
Then you know it's time for Livewire! Until next time, play on playas.
