ITVBe has renewed The Only Way Is Essex for Series 22 and 23 to air in 2018.
Per RadioTimes.com, the double-renewal has come with a format change, with the number of episodes airing per week cut from 50-minute installments on Wednesdays and Sundays, to one hour-long episode per week.
Together, TOWIE Series 22 and 23 will comprise 21 episodes.
Commissioner for Factual Entertainment at ITV, Amanda Stavri, said:
“TOWIE has always been appointment to view television and we’re excited that the new hour-long weekly episodes will allow us to build to a bigger, better and more dramatic moment each week.”
Sarah Tyekiff, Head of Non Scripted content for Lime Pictures, added:
“We’re thrilled that TOWIE is returning for its 22nd series and can’t wait to bring it back with a bang in the new year.
We’re returning to a fast-turnaround production so the audience can experience all the lols, make-ups and break-ups in real time. TOWIE will also be on ITVBe for more weeks of the year meaning we get to indulge in our gorgeous and glamorous cast for that little bit longer. What happens in Essex, won’t stay in Essex!”
Stay tuned as we now monitor the renew/cancel status of TOWIE Series 24…
