The upcoming season of the BBC series, which sees seven well-known personalities with differing faiths and beliefs traversing an ancient pilgrim route, is coming to BBC Two and iPlayer next year.
Among the celebrities confirmed to be taking part in Pilgrimage season 9 alongside Wadia, who is a practising Zoroastrian, are broadcaster and author Janet Ellis, who identifies as a Humanist, TV personality Ferne McCann, who is a Christian, and content creator and comedian Shabaz Ali, who is a practising Muslim.
Also joining the cast for season 9 are YouTuber Jay Foreman, who was brought up in the Jewish faith, comedian and former politician Mhairi Black, who was raised Catholic, and comedian and artist Leigh Francis, who doesn’t identify with any particular faith.
McCann added: “I’m doing the pilgrimage because I believe this is God's plan for me and I want to deepen my faith as a Christian."
Ali added: “To get a better understanding of my own faith through other peoples’ journeys - either through their faith or lack of it."
Foreman: “How better to have these conversations done with a bunch of complete strangers in the beautiful countryside?"
Daisy Scalchi, BBC’s head of religion and ethics for television, praised “this year’s brilliant cast, and the stunning locations they’re walking through”, adding that they “guarantee to deliver another wonderful series for Spring 2027.”
Season 8 aired back in April, taking the cast on a journey to Holy Island (Lindisfarne).
