This comedian is returning in Last One Laughing series 2 – here’s when you’ll be able to watch
The second series will star comedians including Alan Carr, David Mitchell and Diane Morgan
The cast of series two of Amazon’s Last One Laughing has been announced – and it doesn’t disappoint. The roster of comedians includes Alan Carr, David Mitchell, Romesh Ranganathan, Amy Gledhill, Diane Morgan and Mel Giedroyc.
However, fans are excited to see the return of a British comedy legend: Bob Mortimer is back. Series one spoiler ahead, but having broken Richard Ayoade in the season finale, Bob is returning to defend his crown.
The irresistible comedy reality show went viral earlier this year, with clips shared on TikTok and Instagram garnering millions of views. Alongside Mortimer and Ayoade, the cast included Daisy May Cooper, Sara Pascoe, Rob Beckett, Joe Wilkinson, Lou Sanders and Joe Lycett.
Unsurprisingly, the most viral clips featured Mortimer – from his magic act one-man-show, which referenced his Nineties sketch show The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, to comedy songs soundtracked by his tinny laptop. Other highlights included a Danny Dyer cameo (as a cockney Harry Potter), Joe Wilkinson’s skit paying homage to the RNLI and Judi Love’s dog fashion show.
The concept – which is based on the Japanese show Documental – is simple: a group of comedians must try and make each other laugh, while not breaking themselves. Hosted by Jimmy Carr, the show incorporates sketches and games to challenge the opponents. The last comedian with a straight face wins the LOL trophy. There’s also been an Irish series, hosted by Graham Norton and featuring Aisling Bea.
With season two of Last One Laughing UK now announced, here’s everything you need to know – including when it might drop.

When will Last One Laughing series 2 launch?
According to Amazon, Last One Laughing series two is being filmed in late 2025 and will drop on Prime Video in 2026. If it follows the same schedule as series one, four episodes will drop first with the final two available a week later – perhaps in March, as it did this year.
