Overview
- Amazon MGM/Prime Video officially greenlit the U.S. edition of LOL: Last One Laughing, a move that was reported across outlets after the announcement on Tuesday, August 4, 2026.
- Fulwell Entertainment will produce the series with Eric Pankowski as showrunner and Ben Winston and Emma Conway as executive producers, giving the project an experienced unscripted team.
- The show will keep its core rules: ten comedians compete over a six-hour session to make others laugh while avoiding laughing themselves, with the simple losing rule 'you laugh, you lose.'
- Prime says the U.S. version will include surprise twists and 'comedic curveballs,' but the contestant lineup and premiere date have not been announced.
- The format began in Japan as Documental and has been adapted in more than 25 territories, a track record that Prime hopes will drive viral moments, star casting, and audience growth for its nonfiction slate.
