Season 28 AI Speculation:

Get ready, Countdown connoisseurs! The big question on every fan's mind is when the hilarious chaos of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown will return for its 28th season. While the brilliant minds at Channel 4 are keeping the official air date a closely guarded secret, we can look at the show's recent patterns for clues. With Season 27 having just wrapped up in February 2024, the production team is likely deep in planning or filming the next batch of arithmetical and lexical showdowns. As of now, there has been no official confirmation for a Season 28 premiere date.

Based on the series' typical broadcast schedule, which often includes a run in the latter half of the year, speculation points towards a potential return in late summer or autumn 2024. However, this remains an educated guess until we get the official word from Jimmy Carr and the gang. Don't want to be left staring at a blank teapot when the new season drops?
