Oh Made in Chelsea, how we love you. Can you believe the show is approaching its 26th season? Neither can we. After all, we're still reeling after the explosive Made in Chelsea: Corsica summer spin-off. Friendships were broken, new relationships formed and romances were left on the rocks after five weeks on the French island. Yasmine Zweegers,Sam Prince, Olivia Bentley, Inga Valentiner and Tristan Phippswere in the thick of the drama and the spin-off has gone down in history as one of the most dramatic series ever.
But as the gang head back to SW3, what can we expect during the upcoming season of Made in Chelsea?
When is Made in Chelsea back on?
The big question! There isn't an exact release date confirmed yet. But we're quite sure the cast will be back causing chaos on our screens sometime in October.
Is Made in Chelsea on tonight?
Hold your horses! We're sure season 26 is coming very soon, but it's not on E4 just yet. However, if you want to catch up on past seasons then head over to Channel 4 where you can stream Made in Chelsea: Corsica and more.
What will happen during Made in Chelsea season 26?
Whilst we can't confirm anything yet, we do have some hints at what might play out. When Grazia caught up with the Made in Chelsea cast recently, they revealed that there are a lot of juicy moments to come. Yasmine has teased that the drama from Corsica has definitely followed them back to Chelsea.
She told Grazia, 'When we got back to London we started filming the new series shortly after, and the fallout from Corsica is even more savage.' Olivia even confirmed to Grazia that there will be plenty more dramatic dinner parties like the ones in Corsica. Count us in.
Is there a Made In Chelsea season 26 trailer?
Not a trailer per-say, but E4 have released a couple of exclusive teasers. It's obvious during season 26 the storylines will follow on from Corsica. Robbie Mullett and Joel Mignott will be delving more into polyamorous relationships. Maeva D’Ascanio and James Taylor will start planning their winter wedding. Harvey and Willow's budding relationship is on the rocks and Inga, Sam and Yasmine will have another showdown. Liv and Temps appear to enjoy a flirtation, and some booty calls are teased...
Which cast members will be returning for Made In Chelsea season 26?
The storylines for many of the Made in Chelsea cast were left rather open after the Corsica season, so we're not sure of exactly who will return for season 26.
During the teaser we can see that Yasmine and Sam will be be back to face the elephant in the room regarding their future together, and how this fairs with Inga and Tristan.
Robbie and Joel continue to grapple over their feeling for Corsica guest star Geronimo Mörtl and try to navigate this new chapter in their relationship.
Also spotted in the teaser is Olivia, Ruby Adler, Freddy Knatchbull, Temps, Maeva, James, Miles Nazaire, Harvey Armstrong, Willow Day and even newcomer Lauren. We're yet to hear about some cast members who featured in season 25; Paris Smith, Charlie Wicks,Imogen Bloom, Verity Bowditch and Mel Hornbostel.
From the teasers, we also know that MIC OGTiffany Watsonmakes a comeback - with her new baby Jude! It has not yet been confirmed whether this is just a guest appearance or a full-time return to Chelsea.
Whilst there were rumours that Emily Blackwell wouldn't be returning, she has confirmed her comeback to the show after a break during the Corsica spin-off.
However, one cast member who won't be returning for season 26 is Issy Francis-Baum, who previously revealed on her Instagram Stories that she 'might be back' but is 'having a well needed break mentally and to focus on other things' for now.
Another pair who won't be returning for season 26 will be long-running Made in Chelsea cast member Ollie Locke and his husband Gareth, who have left the series in order to pursue their own Daddy Diaries show on YouTube.
When will Made In Chelsea season 26 start?
There isn't an official air date just yet. However, if we follow the timeline of 2022, the five day summer series Made in Chelsea: Mallorca aired in August, and then season 24 kicked off in October 2022 and wrapped up in December.
So, if all things stay the same, we could very well be looking at an October 2023 release date for Made in Chelsea season 26.
