There’s a new Gogglebox spin-off coming to screens soon

Know anyone who’d be good on this?

It’s the show that brought us the brilliant Scarlett Moffatt and the adorable Leon and June, and now it’s set for a new spin-off.

A teenage version of the hit UK show Gogglebox is in the works, according to the Sun.

Channel 4 and production company Studio Lambert are reportedly working on the show with the aim of attracting a younger audience to the popular format.

The show will be significantly different to the original Gogglebox – it will run on E4 and will see teens watch viral videos as well as tv shows.

It’s also been reported that the producers are trying to distance the new show from the original by using a name that will appeal to young people.

“A teen version of Gogglebox has been a big priority for Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for a while now… so they’re delighted it’s finally happening.

“But it’s not been without challenges. The name has caused a right dilemma.”

The name they’re working with at the moment? ‘Screen Time’.

Not exactly an A for effort but we’ll hold off on judgement until we see the actual thing – it’s set to hit screens next month.
