When Can We Expect The Apprentice Season 19 to Premiere?
So, the BBC hasn’t been clear about when Season 19 of *The Apprentice* will be making its debut on our screens, but insiders are hinting at **Thursday, 30th January 2025**. That’s the buzz in the rumor mill. It makes sense, too, because *The Traitors* Season 3 has taken over the 9pm Thursday time slot temporarily – which is when we usually see Sugar and the crew.
As soon as Auntie Beeb sorts it all out and provides a concrete date, I’ll update you. You can count on it airing on BBC One and iPlayer as usual. No shockers there.
Who’s in Charge? The Boardroom Panel
No surprises here – the *Apprentice* judges are the same familiar faces. Lord Alan “I basically created emails, just so you know” Sugar will be returning, alongside Baroness Karren Brady and Tim “I won this once, don’t forget?” Campbell MBE. Same routine as always.

The Trailer: What’s the Scoop?
Yes, there’s already a teaser trailer floating around. It’s pretty much what you’d expect – intense glances from Karren, Tim trying his best not to crack a smile, and Alan Sugar acting all intimidating. Classic *Apprentice* energy. You can check out the trailer below:
Where Are This Year’s Aspiring Entrepreneurial Stars?
No news yet regarding the contestants. No worries – as soon as the list of eager candidates aiming to win Lord Sugar over is released, I’ll post it here. I expect the usual blend of overconfident personas and somewhat questionable business acumen, as per usual. Should be entertaining.
Is a Season 20 on the Horizon? Most Definitely
Applications for Season 20 are already open – closing on **20th February 2025**, so if you’ve ever dreamed of being yelled at by a man who always looks like he’s frowning, now’s your chance. It seems quite certain the BBC will continue the show. Let’s be honest, *The Apprentice* is like an addiction they can’t seem to shake. Expect more antics next year.
Summary – Another Year, Another Round of Nonsense
Look, I understand. *The Apprentice* is polarizing. Some of you relish watching a bunch of clueless “business geniuses” butcher the task of selling sausages at a market. Others are completely indifferent. As for me? I’ll be tuning in just to enjoy Lord Sugar dropping painfully obvious one-liners and the contestants tripping over themselves. Bring on January, right?
