Jonathan Ross is returning to host the second season of Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing on Channel 4, produced by Fremantle’s 72 Films.
The social experiment handcuffs pairs of strangers with completely opposed opinions, beliefs, lifestyles, and habits as they vie for a cash prize. Season one was a streaming success for Channel 4, especially among the 16-to-34 set.
“Part of Channel 4’s job is to reflect every corner of Britain, and not just the loudest or most comfortable parts,” said Tim Hancock, commissioning editor. “Handcuffed does that better than almost anything else on our slate, and its return is a vote of confidence in formats built on genuine difference.”
Tom Clarke, EP at 72 Films, added, “The first series of Handcuffed got the nation talking, especially in demographics we’re often told have left TV behind. We’re thrilled viewers enjoyed the high-octane thrills and spills of the competition, along with the oodles of heart our pairs delivered as they really got to know each other.”
