The revamped Bill, which is being repositioned as a post-watershed drama for the first time in its 25-year history, will begin its run in its new 9pm slot on Thursdays from 23 July with a double episode special, concluding the following night.
Changes to the continuing series include high definition filming with a musical score, new title credits and theme music.
"We haven't sought to totally reinvent The Bill, but we have wanted to create a more immersive experience for our viewers," said the show's executive producer, Johnathan Young.
"We're digging deeper into characters to tell stronger and more challenging stories which really examine the true causes and effects of crime. The later timeslot allows us to produce darker, grittier and more hard-hitting drama, through the eyes of our existing characters. The heart of the show will remain the same, but it will look very fresh."
Sergeant Callum Stone (played by Sam Callis) and PC Ben Gayle (Micah Balfour) will be the first characters to tread the streets of Sun Hill in the new 9pm timeslot, leading the action into the first big storyline, titled Live by the Sword, which features a 15-year-old boy who is critically injured following a knife attack on an estate.
Viewers will get the first taste of the new-look show through a national ITV marketing campaign, including billboard posters and on-air trails.
