A popular game show with a unique twist is making a highly anticipated return for its third series, with even more celebrities welcomed to the cast.<\/p>\n

Just months after its second series wrapped up, it has been confirmed that Romesh Ranganathan’s Parents’ Evening<\/a> is set to come back to ITV<\/a> and ITVX.<\/p>\n

Once again, the straight-faced actor and comedian will front the programme alongside his mother Shanthi, who never misses an opportunity to poke fun at her son.<\/p>\n

Even more exciting is that the third series is set to be the biggest to date, comprising six episodes plus a Christmas<\/a> special.<\/p>\n

As yet, an official broadcast date has not been announced, though it is expected to air towards the latter part of the year.<\/p>\n

Unlike conventional game shows, success isn’t determined by what you know, but rather what your parents believe you know, as celebrities team up with their mums and dads.<\/p>\n

Not only do their parents select the questions for their famous offspring, but they must also predict whether they answer correctly.<\/p>\n

If the celebrities meet their parents’ expectations, they pocket the prize money, but falling short means the cash is divided amongst the remaining teams.<\/p>\n

The team accumulating the most money by the end advances to the final round, with the chance to double their winnings for their chosen charity.<\/p>\n

The second series featured well-known faces including Pete Wicks, Jo Brand, Tom Allen, Fleur East and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, amongst others \u2014 so who will be stepping up for the third instalment?<\/p>\n

Discussing the announcement, Romesh Ranganathan revealed: “I love this show so much and am delighted people are enjoying it enough that we’re doing it again.<\/p>\n

“I can confirm that Mum will be joining once again following an email from ITV that said something like, ‘You need to recognise she’s the main draw.'”.<\/p>\n

ITV’s entertainment commissioner Joe Mace commented: “Between Romesh, Shanthi and the incredible guests, this series is always jam-packed with laughs.<\/p>\n

“I’m so pleased to be doing more and I can’t wait to see what funny revelations come to light this time around.”<\/p>\n
