“The Apprentice” has been a long-running series featuring Lord Alan Sugar and his quest to find new business partners. With the upcoming 20th series on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of the popular show.
In the previous season, Dean Franklin emerged victorious, securing a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar. This win came after a tough competition with Anisa Khan, who showcased a unique fusion of Indian and Italian cuisines in her restaurant and delivery business.
While the official air date for the 20th series has not been confirmed by the BBC, fans can expect the show to follow its usual pattern of airing in late January or early February. Previous seasons have typically premiered after the conclusion of “The Traitors,” which airs three episodes per week for a total of 12 episodes. Based on this pattern, we can speculate that the upcoming series might debut around January 29, 2026.
As for details on the contestants and potential twists in the format for the milestone 20th series, viewers will have to wait until January for more information. Additionally, with applications open for the 21st series until January 11, 2026, it seems likely that “The Apprentice” will continue to be a staple on BBC’s programming lineup.
Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming season of “The Apprentice” as we eagerly anticipate the return of Lord Sugar and his search for new business talent.
