David Tennant & Danny Dyer Get Grilled in ITV's 'The Assembly' Trailer

Our first look at ITV's The Assembly is here, and it looks just as surprising and heartwarming as its predecessors. The four-part series is an adaptation of Les Rencontres du Papotin, a unique interview series that features well-known public figures — from celebrities and sports stars to politicians — sitting down for a no-holds-barred chat with a group of autistic, neurodivergent, and/or learning-disabled journalists. The result is something that's both deeply charming and surprisingly incisive, giving those taking part the chance to consider questions they've likely never been asked before in a public setting.

The original French version featured appearances by President Emmanuel Macron and Killing Eve star Camille Cottin. U.K. network ITV snapped up the British take on the property after a BBC one-off pilot sent a heartwarming clip featuring Good Omens star Michael Sheen viral last year. The first full season of this British incarnation is scheduled to arrive at the end of April 2025 and will feature four notable faces from diverse professions.

The first batch of episodes will feature interviews with Rivals co-stars David Tennant and Danny Dyer, as well as Little Mix member Jade Thirlwall and football star Gary Lineker, whose episode will air just as his twenty-five-year run as host of Match of the Day is about to conclude. What they'll be asked about is genuinely anyone's guess, but the recently released trailer hints that topics will include everything from religion and family life to class issues and more.
