Zinc Media Group (LSE:ZIN) has received a recommission from the BBC for a second season of its quiz programme The Celebrity Inner Circle, which will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer with an expanded order of eight 45-minute episodes.
The show is produced in Scotland by Zinc’s Tern label and blends celebrity contestants with members of the public in a competitive quiz format. The recommission supports the Group’s strategy of strengthening its entertainment offering alongside its established factual and branded content production.
Zinc will continue to hold the rights to the programme and underlying format, while BBC Studios will oversee international distribution. This arrangement could open opportunities for further revenue through overseas sales and format licensing. The new season also adds to Zinc’s growing slate of returning intellectual property, which can help provide greater visibility on future revenues.
Separately, the company confirmed that it will publish its full-year 2025 financial results on 16 April 2026. A live investor presentation will follow the announcement, giving both existing shareholders and potential investors the chance to hear directly from management.
Zinc Media’s broader outlook continues to reflect financial pressures, including profitability constraints and elevated leverage. Nonetheless, developments such as new strategic initiatives and successful programme launches may support longer-term growth prospects. Market indicators currently point to a bearish technical trend, while valuation metrics underscore the company’s ongoing financial challenges.
