Overview
- Netflix announced the order for Hot Ones: Extra Heat on Monday, June 22, 2026, and the series will premiere July 13 tied to the streamer’s live Home Run Derby broadcast.
- Sean Evans will host and serve as an executive producer on the series while K. P. Anderson is showrunner and Digital Cinema Collective is the production company.
- Episodes will run about 30 minutes, keep the signature 10-wing challenge and researched interview format, and move production out of the studio to event-driven, on-location settings.
- The first episode will feature Will Ferrell, Fortune Feimster and Jimmy Tatro promoting Netflix’s new comedy The Hawk during the Home Run Derby tie-in.
- The original Hot Ones YouTube show and prior spinoffs will continue to run, and industry observers say the Netflix deal signals a push to fold branded interview content into the streamer’s marketing and live-event programming.
