Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and ITV have announced a new partnership which will see over 2000 hours of TLC and Quest’s content made available to viewers on ITVX in the UK over the next year, via dedicated branded collections on the platform.
The partnership gives ITVX users access to a curated selection of series from WBD’s free-to-air networks portfolio via brand collections, beginning this month with the latest slate of comedy entertainment from TLC, alongside the channel’s deep reality-genre library, enabling TLC to bring its great new entertainment offer to an even bigger audience.
From 1 October, ITVX viewers will be able to watch the first series of TLC’s comedy show Mock the Week, hosted by Dara Ó Briain with series regular Rhys James.
Further comedy titles will continue to drop in the TLC collection on ITVX throughout the year and into 2027, including Zero Stars, a comedy take on the travelogue format with Sara Pascoe and Roisin Conaty; and the first series of TLC’s new comedy panel show Unacceptable – hosted by Ed Gamble and featuring Richard Ayaode and Joanne McNally as team captains alongside guests including, Maisie Adam, Ivo Graham, Fatiha El-Ghorri and Lucy Beaumont.
The new second series of Mock the Week (which began 13 September) and Unacceptable (coming in November) will continue to premiere at 9pm on Sundays on TLC and via catch-up on discovery+. The series will then be available in ITVX’s TLC collection in 2027.
Graham Lafferty, SVP Content Strategy & Networks, UK&I, Warner Bros. Discovery said: “We’re delighted to announce this partnership with ITV today to bring TLC’s new-look content to its broad ITVX audience. The combination of TLC’s local comedy originals and global reality franchises brings something to the platform for every user, whether it’s the return of Mock the Week, brand-new Unacceptable hosted by Ed Gamble, or some of our hugely successful global franchises such as Dr. Pimple Popper. We’re looking forward to expanding the partnership with Quest programming also coming to ITVX later in the year.”
