‘The Graham Norton Show,’ With Its Taylor Swift-Fueled Momentum, Lands Two-Year Pickup at BBC America and AMC Global Media Streamers (EXCLUSIVE)
The Graham Norton Show has secured a two-year broadcast deal with AMC Global Media, ensuring the long-running Irish chat show will continue airing on BBC America and three streaming platforms through 2028. The renewal comes as the show experiences renewed momentum, partly boosted by Taylor Swift's appearances on the programme and her subsequent inclusion of Graham Norton in her "Opalite" music video alongside guests from his couch.
Last season achieved its strongest viewership in three years with an average of 153,000 linear viewers on BBC America, whilst streaming audiences on Acorn TV and AMC+ both showed significant growth. Norton, who is contracted to continue the show with BBC One in the UK until at least 2029, attributes the programme's 34-season longevity to creating a welcoming atmosphere where guests enjoy themselves, rather than pursuing sensational "gotcha" moments that would discourage repeat appearances.
