The Chase is launching a brand-new spin-off show for the ITV Hub, giving viewers the chance to get up close and personal with the Chasers.

Titled The Chase Extra, the new series of shorts will see each of the Chasers turn quizmasters as they set fans 10 of their own quiz questions and answers.

The six-part series will drop a new instalment every Monday at 6pm, starting from March 8, 2021.

Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty, Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha, Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan, Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace and Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis will each present their own episode, while also sharing jokes, quiz tips and more in their own unique intervals.

The Chase recorded its highest ever viewership numbers in 2020, and has since gone on to launch another spin-off series – The Chasers Road Trip: Trains, Brains and Automobiles.

The series saw Hegerty, Labbett and Wallace travel across the world, taking on a wide array of challenges as they found new ways to expand their knowledge.

And despite some initial mixed reviews and complaints from animal welfare charities, viewers are already calling for a second series.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV, while The Chase Extra will launch exclusively on the ITV Hub on Monday, March 8 at 6pm.
