Taskmaster-packed series that dominated streaming chart to return with new cast after fan
May 15, 2025
Wildly popular comedy show Last One Laughing is set to return for a second season.
Launched earlier this year, the star-studded gameshow tasked a celebrity lineup to make each other laugh while keeping a straight face.
The first season featured Taskmaster stars including Bob Mortimer, Daisy May Cooper, Judi Love, Joe Wilkinson, Lou Sanders, and Joe Lycett, and quickly rose up the UK streaming charts, placing on Prime Video’s top 10 chart in the UK.

Following the success of season one, it has been confirmed that a second is on the horizon with comedy legend Jimmy Carr returning to host.
He said in a statement: “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.”
Filming is due to take place later this year with a whole new line-up of comedians trying to keep a straight face while cracking up their fellow contestants.
Season two of Last One Laughing is set to launch on Prime Video worldwide in 2026, with an exact release date yet to be announced.

Earlier this year, Bob Mortimer became the first ever winner of UK’s Last One Laughing, beating Richard Ayoade in a hilarious final.
Speaking about his time on the show with Radio Times, he said: “I thought it would be easy not to laugh. [I] spend most of my days not laughing so I thought it would be easy, but it’s so difficult! [It’s] just a strange atmosphere. I was really struggling in the beginning.”
