Sorry, I Didn't Know, the ITV1 panel show focused on black history, is to return for another series.

Deadline reports that the network has commissioned Series 4. However, the show will now be shifted away from Black History Month.

The trade website reports: "TriForce Productions' panel show has run for three seasons during the October commemorative month in the UK but ITV is showing its commitment to the four-parter by moving it later in the autumn."

It is expected that Jimmy Akingbola will return to host the new episodes, alongside team captains Chizzy Akudolu and Eddie Kadi.

Sorry, I Didn't Know started off as an ITV2 pilot in 2016. The format was resurrected for a full series in 2020, the year in which the Black Lives Matter campaign gained momentum. The show was last on air in October 2022, in a run that featured guests including Athena Kugblenu, Verona Rose and Babatunde Aleshé.

Deadline notes: "The creators have previously praised ITV for taking a chance on the series when other networks turned it down and the recommission comes at a tricky time more generally for UK panel shows in the wake of Mock The Week and Late Night Mash (formerly The Mash Report) being culled."

Format co-creator Fraser Ayres will lead the writing team for the next series, with Viv May, Mark Boutros and Aida Abdul-Raheem also in the writers' room.

Ayres says: "We're very proud to be working with ITV to not only deliver authentically Black, yet commercial programming outside of Black History Month, but also to be creating unprecedented pathways for talent that directly address the lack of diversity in senior roles."
