Derren Brown will return to Channel 4 next year for a brand new one-off psychological experiment, Derren Brown: The Push.

The “groundbreaking special” will air in January 2016 and sees Derren Brown expose the psychological secrets of obedience and social compliance.

The Push will lift the lid on “the terrifying truth that, when confronted with authority, our natural instinct is to unflinchingly obey without question. To such an extent that even the most moral people can be made to commit the most horrendous acts, simply because they are told to do so.”

Derren Brown commented: “I’m truly excited to be back on Channel 4, especially as this project is the first to be produced by my new company, Vaudeville Productions. The world of social compliance is a deeply fascinating one and hopefully we will take the viewer on a journey that will be disturbing and entertaining in equal measure.”
