ITV shooting Emmerdale / Coronation Street crossover
October 6, 2025
ITV has announced that a soecual soap crossover episode, in which the worlds of Coronation Street and Emmerdale come together for the first time, will be called Corriedale.
Filming has begun on the special one off celebration of two of the nation’s most-watched soap operas, which will see the residents of Weatherfield join forces with their Yorkshire neighbours in a packed hour of drama.
Corriedale will air on ITV, STV, ITVX and Youtube in early 2026, and will herald the start of the new soap power hour schedule, with each show screening 30 minute episodes every weekday, Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8.30pm.
Cameras started rolling on the production at the end of September.
ITV Executive Producer for Continuing Drama Iain, Macleod, commented: “It’s beyond exciting that filming is under way on Corriedale. There is a massive buzz around both the Leeds and Manchester sites and the images coming out of the shoot are utterly spectacular. And that’s before we’ve even got to all the brilliant transpennine interactions between characters from the different shows! As a soap fan myself, I think my head is going to explode when the episode airs next year. It will be mind-blowing, historical and unmissable.”
As the production begins on this epic joint venture, both soaps have hit a milestone of over 350 million streams on ITVX so far throughout 2025, an increase of 31 per cent year on year. In August alone, both shows hit almost 40 million streams, which also marked a 24 per cent uplift on the same period in 2024.
