Amazon has confirmed it has ordered a second series of Last One Laughing UK, following the success of the launch series.

Jimmy Carr will return for six more half-hour episodes of the format, which sees 10 comedians aiming to make each other laugh while not laughing themselves.

Filming is due to take place later this year with a new line-up of comedians, who will be announced in due course.

Jimmy Carr says: “I’m absolutely delighted that Last One Laughing is coming back for a second series. I think what’s happened is someone high up at Amazon has clicked ‘subscribe & save’ on Prime Video and, hey presto, we’re back in business. I’m so pleased people had as much fun watching the first season as we had making it. Can’t wait to bask in the reflected glory of the next 10 comedy legends taking on the challenge.”

The first series, which launched in March, is still available to stream on Prime Video. It was revealed in April that the format had picked up over 6 million viewers, making it Amazon’s biggest streaming hit behind Clarkson’s Farm (7.7m).
