Last One Laughing UK Announces Halloween Special with No-Screaming Rule
Prime Video has officially announced a special Halloween episode of the popular comedy competition series Last One Laughing UK, scheduled for release later in 2026. This one-off event introduces a significant twist to the standard format: in addition to the traditional rule prohibiting laughter, participants will also be banned from screaming, implying that producers plan to incorporate horror-themed challenges and scares. The announcement follows the successful conclusion of the show's second season, which saw David Mitchell crowned champion after a tense standoff with Sam Campbell. Host Jimmy Carr and notable comedians such as Bob Mortimer, Romesh Ranganathan, and Diane Morgan featured prominently in the previous series. While the Halloween special serves as an interim attraction, Prime Video confirmed that a full third series is planned for 2027. The news emerges alongside recent discussions about unaired content from season two, where comedian Amy Gledhill revealed that an improvised scene with Sam Campbell was cut for being too explicit. This upcoming special aims to maintain the momentum of the franchise by adding seasonal thematic elements to the high-stakes, no-laughing environment.
