The popular show Dragons’ Den is returning, giving ambitious British entrepreneurs another chance to pitch their ideas and compete for investment.
The Dragons – Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, and Steven Bartlett – are back, ready to invest in and explore a new wave of innovative business pitches.
The show is back on Thursday, January 29th at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, starting with seven new episodes. More episodes will air later in the year.
The show will welcome several guest Dragons this season, such as rapper and music industry leader Tinie Tempah, business founder Jenna Meek, and Susie Ma from Tropic Skincare. Fan favorite Gary Neville, the football legend and entrepreneur, is also coming back.
Each episode will include one of the four guest investors joining the regular Dragons, bringing new energy and perspectives to the world of business for viewers.
In March 2025, Sara Davies announced she was leaving the show Dragon’s Den to concentrate on growing her company, Crafter’s Companion.
Davies shared on Instagram that as the current season of Dragons’ Den wraps up, they’ve thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are incredibly proud of the companies they’ve invested in this year.
Many of you are aware that I’ve returned as CEO of Crafter’s Companion, and my focus this year is fully on the business. I’m very dedicated when I take on a venture, which is why I enjoy being on Dragons’ Den so much.
Being a Dragon on the show isn’t just about filming – it takes a lot of commitment and time because you become deeply involved in the businesses you invest in.

She explained that being involved means truly believing in and supporting the companies you invest in. It’s about much more than just the television show itself. That’s why she’s decided to leave Dragons’ Den for the time being, to concentrate on her own business, which she considers her priority. As a result, she won’t be filming the next season with the rest of the Dragons.
Just wanted to send a huge shout-out to my fellow Dragons and the incredible crew who make the show happen! And if you’re planning to watch, you can still catch me on the second half of this series of Dragons’ Den later this year – I promise it’s going to be fantastic.
“We wish her all the best and hope to have her back in future series.”
Dragons’ Den returns on Thursday 29th January at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
