Back in March, ITV confirmed that several factual series such as Deep Fake Neighbour Wars and Significant Other were to be axed.

However, it seems the commercial network had other plans for the popular show as it will be back on the box.

A new episode of ‘Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace’ will air on ITV1 on Monday 10th June.

New episodes will also be screened on Tuesday and Wednesday that week, all airing at 9pm.

The second spin-off, ‘What Happened Next’ will also be shown in the channel, one day later on Thursday at the same time.

Back in 2011, Long Lost Family first made its debut onto screens hosted by the likes of Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell.

They help members of the public as they attempt to locate their long lost relatives.

Often on the programme, extraordinary background stories are revealed along the way.

This led to the first spin off, What Happened Next which launched in 2014.

Viewers would be able to find out exactly what happened with the families after their emotional reunion journeys.

Five years ago, ITV launched the second spin-off titled ‘Born Without Trace’.

The hosting pair specifically help public members who were abandoned as babies track down their missing biological parents.

Long Lost Family has been such a success it has won two Bafta TV Awards in 2014 and in 2021.

This comes after ITV announced yet another spin-off, titled Born From the Same Stranger.

The network announced that the new factual series would be coming to ITVX on January 22.

Streaming service ITVX has comissioned its first factual format which will attempt to uncover ‘intimate stories on a cinematic scale’.

This will include one man who discovered that he is in fact one of 14 siblings and counting.

Another story will show a woman whose donor’s sperm was delivered across the world in her grandparents’ hand luggage.
