The trailer kicks off with Ant and Dec sitting in a boardroom discussing what they will do on the show.
They then proceed to sing about everything it will feature – including all the old favourites as they show clips from the previous series.
These will include Win The Ads, Best Seats In The House and Ant vs Dec.
The popular programme was taken off air for one week in March of 2018 when Ant was involved in a car accident - forcing Dec to present the rest of the series on his own.
It was then axed for 2019 while Ant focused on his sobriety, stepping away from several of his TV commitments.

Ant took 10 months off work after he was fined £86,000 and given a 20 month driving ban following the drink-drive crash in Richmond.
While Saturday Night Takeaway was axed, Dec presented the Britain's Got Talent live shows solo, and Holly Willoughby stood in for Ant for last year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
Ant returned to our screens earlier last year for the 2019 series of Britain's Got Talent, and was given a standing ovation when he stepped onto the stage.
He also filmed Britain's Got Talent: The Champions, and returned to the Aussie jungle for I'm A Celeb in November.
