The premise of Last One Laughing places comedians in close quarters for six-hour sessions where they must try to break their opponents while maintaining straight faces. Contestants are eliminated after laughing twice, with Bob Mortimer emerging as the reigning champion from the first series.
Just hours after the second series debuted on March 19, Amazon confirmed that Last One Laughing will return for a third series. According to reports, filming for series three will begin this spring for a 2025 release, with a special Halloween episode also planned.
A show insider told The Sun: Last One Laughing is unquestionably one of the most talked-about TV shows of the past year. At the rate at which it's gaining momentum, the calibre of comedian they'll attract for series three will be off the scale.
Amazon executive Tara Erer expressed confidence in the show's longevity: We've already made this format in over 20 countries. Wherever it goes, it becomes a huge hit. I think it can go on and on and keep the quality at the level that we started with.
