Production listings reveal a new travel competition spin-off is in the works and a pilot episode was recorded.
Website TVZone reports the pilot - which won't be broadcast on television - was produced last month.
The yet-to-be announced spin-off is being made by Potato - the same production company behind the regular series of The Chase.
The Sun has contacted ITV.
The show, hosted by Bradley Walsh, has aired over 2,500 episodes across 18 series since its launch.
In 2020, ITV successfully launched Beat the Chasers - a spin-off to the regular series that sees all five chasers appear in each episode.
Payers have to answer a number of multiple choice questions to build up their cash-pot and eventually take on the group.
Each Chaser will then offer time and money depending on the contestant's ability.
Their choice results in a nail-biting head-to-head race against the clock.
The Chase contestant narrowly misses out on £80k
Earlier this year Anne Hegerty confirmed Beat the Chasers would return for a seventh series on ITV.
Its most recent series aired in January, stripped across a week, airing on ITV1.

EXCLUSIVE Loose Women to AXE vital part of the show which viewers love in desperate bid to save cash as ITV budget cuts rage on
Loose Women will axe a vital part of the show which viewers love in a desperate bid to save money as ITV 's budget cuts rage on. MailOnline can reveal the series are scrapping their live studio audience when the programme airs with a reduced schedule of just 30 episodes next year. The change is a further blow to the panellists which include Ruth Langsford, 65, Kaye Adams, 62, Nadia Sawalha, 60, and Charlene White, 44, who rely on the reactions of the audience to create a lively atmosphere. Bosses have got rid of the studio audience to save costs, with insiders revealing that it's an expensive feature due to being managed by an external company, who also provides security and a warmup person, but for the presenters, it's going to be a 'disaster.' It comes after ITV announced dramatic budget cuts to their daytime schedule from halving Lorraine to 30 minutes and only airing the show during school term times to cutting Loose Women's output to 30 weeks a year. And sources have told MailOnline how key talent on Loose Women are 'upset' to see the live studio audience go because it's what sets the season apart from Lorraine and Good Morning Britain amid fears viewers will 'switch off' altogether. MailOnline can reveal the series are scrapping their live studio audience when the programme airs with a reduced schedule of just 30 episodes next year A TV source told MailOnline: 'The panelists are really upset over the decision to axe the live studio audience from the show. 'It's what sets the series apart from the rest of ITV daytime and now there are massive concerns that viewers will switch off completely. 'The only concern now is to cut costs and having a live studio audience can be expensive, with the added need for security and a warmup artist. 'Presenters already know how it feels to broadcast the show without an audience because that's what happened during the pandemic, and they all know it creates low mood and lack of atmosphere.' MailOnline revealed it isn't just Lorraine and Loose Women who are experiencing budget cuts and job losses following ITV's recent announcement about merging their daytime shows. This Morning are also suffering from cutbacks behind the scenes with presenters like Alison Hammond told they will no longer fly overseas for A-list interviews, as well as scrapping live outside broadcasts like from their TV forest. It comes as panelist Nadia spoke about the 'brutal' cuts to Loose Women as she explained how tough the announcement had been for staff. She said: 'This show has been highly successful for 25 years, more actually now, it is such a clear brand... 'The brutality of the world... what a lot of people don't realise is that we're self-employed, every contract is a new contract, I could be let go tomorrow or in five years, we're not employees. 'What's been absolutely brutal over the last week and honestly, I feel tearful about it is that hundreds of people are going to be made redundant out of the blue, these are people behind the scenes, that support us in every way. 'It's the way of the world, inflation is insane, cuts have to be made... a lot of my friends and colleagues on this show and at ITV have been there for decades, and I can't tell you how upsetting it was to see people walking around numb with shock and fear about what they were going to do.' Last month, it was confirmed that Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women will relocate from Television Centre to a new filming location, where they plan to share the same studio.

The show will continue to thrive. We, the producers, need to stay ahead of the curve. The whole 'twists and turns' thing is about making the show fresh. We're going to give it all we've got." Returning host Maya Jama brings her trademark flair and fierce attitude, adding: "I feel like they forgot last year that you could come in The Hideaway at any time.

If I'm not in a confident place it's a me problem – not his. "I've gone over eight months celibate now, I was two years celibate before, and I'm proud of that. I only want to have sex when I truly want to – not out of pressure."
