The show sees various households become close neighbours as they compete in challenges to win popularity and ultimately a cash prize

ITV has lined up Graham Norton to host a new reality-entertainment show from Lifted Entertainment and The Garden.

The Neighbourhood will see families competing for a huge cash prize, as households from various walks of life move in side by side and are pitted against each other – socialising intensely as neighbours and vying for popularity while voting each other out.

The 12-part format was developed by Lifted Entertainment’s development team led by Kat Hebden and development exec Ed Daggett, alongside The Garden‘s director of development Mike Philo. Lifted Entertainment and The Garden will co-produce; both are part of ITV Studios.

Norton said: “Both Lifted and The Garden are masters at what they do, so I feel confident The Neighbourhood will be the nation’s favourite destination!”

Richard Cowles, managing director at Lifted Entertainment and John Hay, CEO of The Garden added: “In a TV landscape full of successful formats set in jungles, islands and luxurious villas, The Neighbourhood offers a fresh and different flavour: it’s a show all about the drama on our doorsteps.

“This is a world we know and love from soaps and sitcoms, so we’re excited to make it the setting for a new type of competition reality show and there’s no better person to bring it to life than Graham.”
