Keira Knightley and Hozier Confirmed for The Graham Norton Show this Halloween
BBC One’s The Graham Norton Show continues to deliver the big names and this Halloween is no exception, with Keira Knightley and acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Hozier among the guests.
A Night of Stories, Laughter, and Music this Halloween on The Graham Norton Show
Front and centre on Graham’s famous red sofa will be Keira Knightley, the two-time Oscar nominee known for Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, and Love Actually. Knightley joins the show not to discuss her latest film role, but to talk about her new venture as a children’s author. Her debut picture book, I Love You Just the Same, is already generating buzz for its tender message about family and acceptance — themes she says were inspired by her own experiences as a mother. Expect plenty of warmth and wit as Knightley opens up about writing for children and balancing Hollywood with home life.
She'll also discuss her current Netflix thriller, Cabin No. 10.

Sitting alongside Knightley will be Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning education activist who continues to inspire millions worldwide. Malala will discuss her new memoir, Finding My Way, a deeply personal reflection on her journey from surviving an assassination attempt to becoming one of the world’s most influential advocates for girls’ education. The book explores how she’s navigating adulthood, purpose, and identity in the public eye — and her chat with Graham is sure to be both moving and illuminating.
