I think it might run through the Summer, possibly alongside The Voice and Moneyball. Not necessarily all 3 at once, with no primetime football they’ve got a full 3 month Summer to fill, so they could run across the Summer in some formation.

There’s not really room for The Voice in the Autumn this year as we’ve said before, and whilst they ran Bond repeat last Summer, in both 2021 and 2019 they did run a full Saturday night schedule through most of the Summer, so they could well do so again.

Another stripped run could be an option for Millionaire as well. Beat the Chasers normally runs a week in May but that isn’t filming until May so there’s a potential gap it could fill there.

There’s also the Mamma Mia series to fit in, but I could see that being Sundays in the Spring.

I'd imagine The Voice will air in the autumn as it did last year - just imagine some shows that aired Sept-Oct last year will push to Nov-Dec this year with the RWC kicking off the autumn rather than being at the back end of it as the FIFA WC was.   

Last year ITV put less effort into their summer Saturday schedules than they have done for a number of years, even with no World Cup, so I don't think they'll be playing a big franchise there this year.

I think last year might have been a bit of an outlier, driven by how much they stuffed the Autumn schedule. I do think they’ll do more in the Summer this year, whether it’s The Voice or the Mamma Mia series.
