Audible has announced The Graham Norton Book Club is returning for a third season today, with this new run featuring some seriously starry guests.

The new 10-episode season will include guests such as Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting, Starstruck), Indira Varma (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Game of Thrones), DJ and presenter Sara Cox and Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness.

The series will also feature Sheila Hancock (Unforgotten), Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and broadcaster Reverend Richard Coles.  

Norton said: “I’ve so enjoyed returning to my book club for a third series. There are some new clubbers joining the old gang and the range of authors we talk to is brilliantly mixed.

“From Jilly Cooper to Bryan Washington, Ann Cleeves to Sheila Heti. It really doesn’t matter what sort of book worm you are, you’ll find something juicy in this club!”

The new season will once again see Norton discussing all things literary and audio with his alternating co-hosts, journalist Alex Clark and author Sara Collins, as well as book-clubbers from across the country.

Norton will provide book reviews, reading recommendations and publishing news, as well as interviews with renowned authors including Vera creator Ann Cleeves, Maggie O’Farrell (Hamnet), Jilly Cooper (Riders), Bryan Washington (Memorial) and Gwendoline Riley (Cold Water).

Others set to feature include Earl Lovelace (Is Just a Movie), NK Jemisin (The Fifth Season), Jonathan Coe (Middle England) and Salena Godden (Mrs Death Misses Death).
