It will once again be recorded in front of a live studio audience at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane in London.
The new series is expected to air later this year on BBC One and iPlayer.
Speaking about the show returning, Michael told British Comedy Guide: "There isn't a day that goes by without someone telling me how much they love this show, although strangely nobody seems to know what it's called."

He added: "It's either: 'The one where you take people's phones', 'The one where you wake people up in the night', 'The one where the wall falls down' or 'The Big Night in'.
"Well, I'm thrilled to announce that all four of those shows are set to return for a seventh series!"
The head of entertainment at the Beeb, Kalpa Patel-Knight, said: "We are thrilled to have Michael McIntyre's Big Show back on BBC One and iPlayer, it's a show full of joy with laugh out loud moments and surprises on unexpecting celebrities.
"I cannot wait to see who Michael with his comedic brilliance will be waking up this series and who's phone he will peek into. It really is unmissable on a Saturday night."
