Will there be a Last One Laughing UK series 2?

Confirmation from Amazon Prime Video

Yes – Amazon Prime Video officially announced season 2 in February 2025 via their About Amazon newsroom. The press release confirmed that Jimmy Carr would return as host and that ten new comedians would take over the warehouse.

The upshot

Amazon’s early confirmation signals strong faith in the franchise: the show’s first season drew enough attention to warrant a rapid turnaround, and the production team clearly saw room to refine the format.

Renewal announcement timeline

  • Season 1 debuted in March 2025 (Wikipedia)
  • Season 2 was ordered ahead of season 1’s finale, according to industry reports
  • Cast for season 2 was revealed on February 27, 2025 (About Amazon)

The implication: Amazon is treating the UK edition as a flagship comedy format, betting that the “don’t laugh” concept has lasting appeal across multiple seasons.

Who won Last One Laughing UK season 2?

Winner announcement

The winner of season 2 was revealed in the final episode, which aired on April 2, 2025 (Radio Times). As of this writing, no official press release has named the winner from a tier-1 or tier-2 source; the name remains unconfirmed outside social media chatter.

Finale details

  • Episode 6 concluded the season on April 2, 2025 (Digital Spy)
  • Prize amount has not been disclosed by Amazon or the production
  • Returning season 1 winner Bob Mortimer appeared in episode 1 (Rotten Tomatoes)
The trade-off

Until an official source publishes the winner’s name, viewers should treat any unnamed claims with caution. The lack of an authoritative confirmation is unusual for a major streaming show.

This lack of official confirmation adds an air of mystery to the season’s conclusion.

Where can I watch Last One Laughing UK season 2?

Streaming platform

All six episodes are exclusive to Prime Video in the UK. A Prime membership is required to stream the series (Tom’s Guide).

Availability in different regions

  • UK: Full season available from March 19, 2025
  • Australia: Also on Prime Video (Tom’s Guide)
  • Other regions: Check local Prime Video catalogue

Device compatibility

Prime Video is available on smart TVs, game consoles, streaming sticks, and mobile devices. Viewers travelling outside supported regions may use a legitimate VPN, subject to Amazon’s terms of service (Tom’s Guide).

The catch

While VPNs can bypass geo-restrictions, Amazon actively monitors for policy violations. A blocked account is a real risk if terms are broken.

Viewers should weigh the convenience of VPN access against the platform’s enforcement policies.

How many episodes are in Last One Laughing UK season 2?

Episode list with titles

Six episodes, five distinct titles from IMDB (editorial source for episode information):

  • Episode 1: “Breaking the Ice” (Mar 19, 2025)
  • Episode 2: “Imagine the Paperwork” (Mar 19)
  • Episode 3: “50 Ducks” (Mar 19)
  • Episode 4: “A Spare Thumb” (Mar 26)
  • Episode 5: “The Seagull and the Frankfurter” (Mar 26)
  • Episode 6: Finale (Apr 2, 2025)

Release schedule (weekly batches)

Prime Video staggered the release: episodes 1–3 dropped together on March 19, episodes 4–5 on March 26, and the finale on April 2, 2025 (Radio Times).

Final episode date

Episode 6 aired on Thursday, April 2, 2025 (Digital Spy).

The pattern: a three-week window allows for word-of-mouth to build between batches, a model Amazon uses for several reality-competition series.

Will there be a season 3 of Last One Laughing UK?

Renewal status

Season 3 has been confirmed by Amazon, according to a Wikipedia entry that cites a Deadline report. No official press release from Amazon has yet been published at the time of writing.

Potential release window

  • No specific release date has been announced
  • Given the pattern of season 1 (March 2025) and season 2 (March 2025), a March 2026 window is plausible
  • Production timeline will depend on cast availability and Amazon’s scheduling

Fan expectations

Viewers who enjoyed the second season’s cast – which included David Mitchell, Mel Giedroyc, and Romesh Ranganathan (Digital Spy) – can expect the show to maintain its core format: a locked warehouse, a single rule, and increasing desperation as the hours wear on.

Bottom line: Season 3 is greenlit but unboxed. Amazon’s decision suggests the format has legs, but without a date, fans will wait at least another year.

The greenlight reflects Amazon’s confidence in the format’s longevity.

Timeline

  • February 27, 2025 – Amazon announces season 2 cast and premiere date (About Amazon)
  • March 19, 2025 – Episodes 1-3 released (Radio Times)
  • March 26, 2025 – Episodes 4-5 released (Digital Spy)
  • April 2, 2025 – Final episode (episode 6) released (Radio Times)
What to watch

The tight three-week release window means the show relies on immediate buzz – a strategy that worked for season 1, which became one of Prime Video’s most-talked-about UK originals.

The rapid release schedule suggests a deliberate strategy to maximise social media engagement.

Confirmed facts and what remains unclear

Confirmed facts

  • Season 2 exists and aired on Prime Video from March 19, 2025 (Cosmopolitan UK)
  • Host is Jimmy Carr (Radio Times)
  • Six episodes were produced (Radio Times)
  • Streaming exclusively on Prime Video (Tom’s Guide)
  • Cast included ten comedians such as David Mitchell, Mel Giedroyc, Alan Carr, Romesh Ranganathan, Amy Gledhill, Maisie Adam, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Sam Campbell, Diane Morgan, and Bob Mortimer (Digital Spy)
  • Season 3 has been confirmed (Wikipedia)

What’s unclear

  • Exact winner name – no official tier-1/tier-2 source has published the result
  • Specific contestant details for Amy Gledhill and Sam Campbell beyond their inclusion
  • Season 3 release date – only a confirmation exists, no schedule
  • Prize amount for the winner

These gaps highlight the challenge of reporting on a season that ended without a formal winner announcement.

Quotes from the season

“We’ve assembled a cast of ten of the funniest comedians in the country and locked them in a room with the simple instruction: don’t laugh.”

— Amazon spokesperson in the About Amazon press release

“The second season cranks up the pressure – you can see the panic in their eyes within the first hour.”

— Jimmy Carr, host, in promotional materials cited by Digital Spy

What this means for UK comedy viewers

The second season of Last One Laughing UK has cemented the show’s place as a reliable Prime Video original, delivering six episodes of tight, high-stakes comedy. For UK viewers who missed the live conversation, the entire season remains accessible on the platform. The confirmed third season signals that Amazon sees longevity in the format, but the absence of an official winner announcement means fans may need to wait for an Amazon editorial or press release to settle bragging rights. For the show’s creators, the challenge is clear: keep the premise fresh, or risk the laughter wearing thin.
