History
[edit]The show, which follows 15 groups of families and friends from Ireland, is part of the international Gogglebox franchise. It was ordered in early 2016 and premiered on TV3 airing fourteen episodes from Thursday 22 September 2016 until 29 December 2016 in series 1 and returning on Wednesday 8 February 2017 with series 2 which ended with a highlights episode subtitled 'Best Bits' on Wednesday 3 May 2017. Series three began on Wednesday 13 September 2017 - with repeats on Saturday nights at 10.30pm - and ended on Wednesday 22 November.
The series broke new ground in the final episode of Series 1 when it featured cast's children and additional family members joining them to review the biggest TV show of the year in Ireland The Late Late Toy Show.[6]
Following strong ratings, the series was renewed for a second series on 20 November 2016, which began broadcasting on 8 February 2017, consisting of twelve episodes and a highlights show.[7][8] Series 2 saw the introduction of five new house holds from all around the country; Lauara and Aisling (Greystones), Tadgh and Ettie (County Clare), Shelly and John (Ballina), Dawn and Dale (Cork) and The Moran Family (Portlaoise)
Series 3 introduced two new households from Dublin City Centre (Couple Siobhán and Pat) and the Cooley Peninsula (Friends Michael, David and Gerry.) Jamie welcomed baby Cobey to the Cabra household while, in Navan, Loretta gave birth to baby Asha in early November.
In the final episode of Series 3, the cast of Daddy's Home 2 - Mel Gibson, John Lithgow, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg - featured as a guest 'family' on the show and reviewed 'Ireland's Fittest Family', 'Fair City' and 'Stetsons and Stilettos.'[9]
On 23 August 2018, it was announced that Gogglebox Ireland would return for a fourth series.[10] The series returned to Virgin Media One on 5 September 2018.
