The ITV Hub is hosting a spin-off of the award-winning The Chase from later in March.
The Chase Extra will see each of the Chasers turn quizmaster, setting fans their own set of 10 quiz questions and answers, dropping every Monday at 6:00pm for six weeks from Monday 8th March 2021.
Mark ‘The Beast Labbett’, Anne ‘The Governess’ Hegerty, Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha, Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan, Shaun ‘The Dark Destroyer’ Wallace and Darragh ‘The Menace’ Ennis will each present an episode, exclusively for ITV Hub viewers.
As well as quiz questions, the beloved brainiacs will include their own unique interval – including telling jokes, giving quiz tips or playing a musical instrument.
In November 2020, The Chase broke the 5m mark for the first time and did so a further two times in 2020, leading to its largest audience ever on 25th November with 5.1m viewers. The Chase Extra will also appear on the STV website.
The growing usage of streaming platforms has prompted broadcasters to increase commissions for online-only shows. The launch of a spin-off follows the tactic originally used to encourage audiences to digital TV channels.
