Q&A WITH GRAHAM NORTON

NEW YORK - September 24, 2026 - Often imitated, never duplicated; the iconic Graham Norton is uncorking a bottle of white wine and plumping up the red sofa cushions in time for a new season of BBC AMERICA's fan-favorite talk show The Graham Norton Show, set to premiere on Thursday, October 1 at 11pm ET/PT on BBC AMERICA, and available to stream the same day on AMC+, Acorn TV, and All Reality.

The BAFTA-award-winning talk show­ is back with a new season featuring the biggest celebrities and the brightest conversation on television. In the Season 34 premiere, Graham will welcome superstar Tom Cruise to discuss his startling transformation in the apocalyptic satire 'Digger'; Oscar-nominee Florence Pugh talks about her time on the new TV adaptation of the Steinbeck classic, 'East of Eden';comedian and actor Lolly Adefope chats taking the stage as Mary Todd Lincoln in the critically acclaimed stage production, 'Oh, Mary!'; top comic John Bishop on hosting the new BBC entertainment quiz show 'Wisdom of the Crowd';and musical guest Emeli Sandé performs.

Last season saw the likes of Dwayne Johnson, Matthew McConaughey, Bruce Springsteen, Julia Roberts, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, Kim Kardashian, Timothée Chalamet, Idris Elba,and the incomparable Taylor Swift. The world's biggest popstar has called Graham 'insanely charismatic and loveable,' and was a guest on his sofa last fall when she got the idea for her hit song Opalite, subsequently inviting Graham and all that episode's guests to be in the accompanying music video. To top it all off, Graham even attended the event of the year - Taylor's wedding to football star Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden in New York.

We asked Graham to reflect on his excellent year, tease what's to come, and dish on his new BFF status with Taylor Swift. Read more HERE.

*The guest lineup is subject to change. Video clips will be available prior to air.
