David Mitchell will return in his mission to see if comedians have the mettle to survive in a post-apocalyptic society, in the third series of David Mitchell’s Outsiders, the new episodes will air later this year.
David will challenge a fresh line-up of comedians to demonstrate if they will survive, thrive or epically fail, as they fend for themselves in the wild for a week to prove they have the skills to scratch together a new society in the wild.
David Mitchell:
“How brilliant that David Mitchell’s Outsiders is coming back for a third series and that I get the chance to put more comedians through their survival paces. I can’t wait to see them flail around in the outdoors in a way that is both hilarious to watch and carries within it the darker truth that, should society collapse, most of us are in for long, agonising deaths. Plus, there’ll be lovely cut-away shots of wildlife which you don’t get in any other panel show.”
The first two series on Dave and UKTV Play have been enjoyed by over 4.2m individuals. In the new series, David will again oversee the three pairs of comedians as they vie to prove they’re adept at living in a forest with a wild set of challenges.
David Mitchell’s Outsiders is co-produced by Wall to Wall in association with That Mitchell and Webb Company. Executive producers are Leanne Klein and Victoria Payne.
Cherie Cunningham, Dave channel director:
“Our audience love David’s comic voice on the channel and it’s a pleasure to welcome David Mitchell’s Outsiders back for more of his unique outdoor challenges.”
