Stephen Mangan reopens The Fortune Hotel for ITV

Get ready to check back in…

The reality competition, The Fortune Hotel, is set to return for a second series on ITV1, STV, STV Player and ITVX this summer.  Hosted once again by Stephen Mangan, the eight-part series will see a new bunch of holiday makers packing their bags and donning their game faces as they head to a Caribbean paradise with their sights firmly set on the ultimate prize: a briefcase packed with £250,000.

Stephen Mangan:

“I am absolutely thrilled to have returned to the sunshine to check in a new set of unsuspecting guests to The Fortune Hotel. The stakes are higher, the games are bigger, and the twists are even more unexpected. I can’t wait for viewers to witness all the drama, the laughter, and jeopardy of the high-stakes competition this time around. It’s going to be quite the ride!”

This new run of episodes promises an array of all new vital challenges, never before seen twists, high-stakes deception and of course, plenty more helpings of intense case-swapping drama in The Night Cap. And, for the first time, fans can delve even deeper into the drama with the brand new accompanying vodcast, ‘Late Check Out‘, hosted by comedian Ellie Taylor.

The format proved a hit with audiences and fans alike, achieving 6.5m streams and reaching just under 12m viewers when it aired on ITV1 and ITVX last year.

The first series, which launched in May last year, proved a hit with ITV and STV viewers

The returning hit promises to combine all the most loved aspects of the format, complete with new vital Day Trip challenges filled with devious surprises, updated Room Service games that now take place around the hotel and sneaky surprises that will make keeping hold of that coveted case containing the £250,000 even harder. The holidaymakers will need to outwit their competition and avoid an early checkout to be the last ones standing with the life-changing sum of money.

Adding to the excitement, the brand-new companion vodcast, also produced by Tuesday’s Child ‘Late Check Out’, hosted by Ellie Taylor, will follow every episode of the main show on ITVX and as a podcast.

Ellie Taylor, Host of ‘Late Check Out’:

“I’m so excited to be unpacking all the delicious drama from The Fortune Hotel on ‘Late Check Out’! We’ll be getting all the gossip, dissecting the most jaw-dropping moments, and hearing directly from the contestants reflecting on their unforgettable Fortune Hotel experience.”

The Fortune Hotel will soon be open again for business on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player this summer.
