Prime Video has unveiled the line-up for the next instalment of hit UK Original Last One Laughing. The new series returns with another selection of comics: David Mitchell, Diane Morgan, Romesh Ranganathan, Amy Gledhill, Maisie Adam, Mel Giedroyc, Alan Carr, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Sam Campbell and inaugural series one winner Bob Mortimer returning to defend his crown.
Earlier this year, it was announced that the brand-new series will be back on screens in 2026 with host Jimmy Carr and his deputy, Roisin Conaty. Series one starring Bob Mortimer, Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe, Lou Sanders, Joe Wilkinson, Harriet Kemsley and Richard Ayoade launched last year to impressive critical acclaim with Bob Mortimer crowned the series one champion.
In this new series, Jimmy Carr will once again challenge 10 of Britain’s funniest comics to spend the day together without so much as cracking a smile. Over the course of the series, they will use every ounce of their comedic talents to try and break their opponents without cracking up. And it’s not just their rivals they need to watch out for. The show is packed with comedy cameos, format twists and surprises designed to elicit laughs from both players and viewers alike. The rules are simple: laugh and you’re out. Who will be crowned the winner of Last One Laughing series 2?
Last One Laughing is the latest adaptation of the successful Amazon Original series from Japan entitled Documental, created by and starring Hitoshi Matsumoto and owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo, where Matsumoto leads 10 comedians betting their own money in an anything goes “battle of laughter behind closed doors.” The fan-favourite Last One Laughing format became the most watched title of all time on Prime Video in France, Germany and Italy, and had hugely successful local versions in over 20 territories. Local celebrity hosts include Graham Norton (Ireland), Jay Baruchel (Canada), Eugenio Derbez (Mexico), Fedez (Italy), Michael "Bully" Herbig (Germany), Rebel Wilson (Australia) and Trevor Noah (South Africa).
Last One Laughing is produced by Banijay UK labels Zeppotron and Initial and will air on Prime Video early next year.
