Prime Video is betting that a stacked cast of household names — from David Mitchell to Bob Mortimer — can turn the unscripted format into a recurring hit. Early Reddit buzz suggests the gamble is paying off.

Will there be a Last One Laughing UK series 2?

Yes — season 2 is already out. Prime Video announced the renewal in 2025, with the first three episodes landing on 19 March. The show streams exclusively on Amazon’s platform in more than 240 countries (About Amazon UK). If you’ve seen the first season, you know the drill: ten comedians, one room, zero laughter allowed.

What this means: the series has officially moved beyond a one-off experiment. With a second season now a reality, the UK franchise is cementing itself as a staple in the comedy-reality genre.

Where can I watch Last One Laughing UK season 2?

It’s exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. A Prime membership costs £8.99 per month or £95 per year (About Amazon UK). You can watch on any device that supports the Prime Video app — smart TVs, phones, tablets, or via the web.

Streaming on Prime Video

  • Available in the UK and worldwide (over 240 territories) (About Amazon UK)
  • Episodes are released in weekly waves: three, then two, then the finale

Availability in UK

  • Full season accessible by 2 April 2026 (Cosmopolitan UK)
  • Season 1 is also available for catch-up

The pattern: Prime Video is treating the show like a prestige event, rolling out episodes to build anticipation rather than dumping them all at once.

Who won Last One Laughing UK season 2?

As of this writing, no official winner has been announced. The final episode (episode 6) airs on 2 April, which means the victor won’t be known until then — unless you’ve already watched the finale in regions where it’s available. Reddit and online forums are buzzing with speculation (Wikipedia is updating as details emerge).

Winner reveal

  • The winner is confirmed only after the finale airs in the UK
  • Radio Times and other outlets are likely to report the result within hours of broadcast

Runner-up details

  • Not yet known; final episode will reveal the full top two

The catch: if you want to avoid spoilers, stay off social media until you’ve watched episode 6.

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

Season 2 reportedly consists of six episodes (Cosmopolitan UK). The first three dropped on 19 March, episodes 4 and 5 on 26 March, and the finale on 2 April.

Episode count

  • 6 episodes total, confirmed by multiple sources
  • Same length as season 1 (Wikipedia)

Release schedule

  • Wave 1: 19 March — Episodes 1-3
  • Wave 2: 26 March — Episodes 4-5
  • Wave 3: 2 April — Episode 6

The trade-off: you can binge the first three episodes immediately, but you’ll have to wait a week for the finale.

What is the release date of season 2?

The season 2 premiere was 19 March 2026, according to Prime Video’s own announcement and official trailer (Prime Video YouTube trailer). Some sources, like Rotten Tomatoes, list a 18 March date (Rotten Tomatoes), likely due to time zone differences. The entire series will be fully available by 2 April.

Release date announcement

  • Officially announced by Prime Video in early 2025
  • Trailer released on YouTube on 28 February 2026 (Prime Video YouTube)

Current availability

  • As of late March 2026, episodes 1–3 are streaming; episodes 4–5 drop later
  • Available in the UK and worldwide on Prime Video

The implication: if you see a date discrepancy, the 19 March start is the official one from the broadcaster.

Timeline

  • 2025: Season 2 renewal announced by Prime Video (Wikipedia)
  • 19 March 2026: Episodes 1-3 premiered (About Amazon UK)
  • 26 March 2026: Episodes 4-5 released (Cosmopolitan UK)
  • 2 April 2026: Episode 6 finale (Cosmopolitan UK)

The staggered release strategy builds anticipation week by week.

“I’m so excited that Last One Laughing is returning for a second series. The first series was a blast, and this one is going to be even funnier.”

Jimmy Carr, in a statement to Amazon UK Newsroom

“The new season promises even more chaos and hilarious moments as the comedians try not to crack.”

Cosmopolitan UK

The upshot

Prime Video is leaning into the binge-vs-batch debate. For fans, the staggered release means three weeks of watercooler moments — but also three weeks of avoiding spoilers for one of comedy’s most anticipated shows.

For British comedy fans, the choice is clear: watch the first three episodes now, or wait for the full six-episode drop. Either way, season 2 is shaping up to be a must-watch for anyone who enjoys seeing professionals try — and fail — to keep a straight face.
