Prime Video Confirms Cast and Rules for 'LOL Next' Spin‑Off

The creator-focused series tightens the game to single-laugh eliminations with the €50,000 prize earmarked for charity.

Overview

  • Prime Video confirmed the full ten-person cast and named Hazel Brugger as moderator on Thursday, listing social‑media stars and emerging comedians including selfiesandra, Phil Laude and Freshtorge.
  • The spin‑off replaces the usual multi-day format with a condensed four-hour studio session monitored by more than 40 cameras and eliminates second chances by removing any contestant who laughs once.
  • The winner will receive €50,000 that Prime Video says will be donated to a charitable cause rather than kept by the contestant.
  • Constantin Entertainment is producing the four-episode series with Otto Steiner as producer and Lucie Hugen as executive producer, and the format continues to be based on Hitoshi Matsumoto’s Japanese original 'Documental'.
  • By centering creators and younger comedians, Prime Video is using influencer audiences to bridge the gap between annual main seasons and outlets expect the show to debut later in 2026 though no firm start date has been announced.
