History

The series, broadcast on ITV since August 2002, is produced by ITV Studios (previously known as Granada Productions), a British company. The format was picked up by ABC soon after, which aired for one season in early 2003. The new series, shown on NBC in 2009, ran for 14 episodes, and followed the same format as the United Kingdom version of the same show. On March 8, 2010, NBC announced that there would not be a third season. [1] [2]

Celebrity Castle

On October 21, 2021, it was reported that ITV Studios subsidiary ITV America was pitching a reboot of the series under the title Celebrity Castle, with Blumhouse Productions—a studio known for its production of horror films—as co-producer. The pitch was reported to have been influenced by series 20 of the UK version, which moved from Australia to Gwrych Castle in Wales due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. [3]
