Footballers' Wives: Extra Time (stylised as footballers wive$: extra time) is a British drama programme. A spin-off of Footballers' Wives, the programme aired on ITV2 for two series. Footballers' Wives: Extra Time aired in the United States on BBC America under the title Footballers' Wives: Overtime.
Footballers' Wives: Extra Time was the spin-off to the award-winning original series Footballers' Wives. Picking up from the end of Footballers' Wives Series 4, it aired on ITV2.[1] [2]
With success of the first series, ITV2 increased the episode lengths by 10 minutes and ordered one more episode than the first series.

The original episode line-up of series two consisted of 18 episodes at 20–25 minutes each. However, there is no explanation as to why the 18 episodes were put into 13 extended episodes for airing.
