The UKTV channel Dave has ordered Hypothetical series 2, confirming that James Acaster and Josh Widdicombe will return for a second series in 2020. Here’s everything you need to know…

TV Wise reports that eight more episodes of the panel show will air next year, following the success of the show’s first season.

Josh Widdicombe said this about the news: “I am absolutely delighted Dave have turned the hypothetical Hypothetical second series into a reality. I know no one outside of the industry really reads these quotes so I would like to take this chance to say the success of the show is all down to the team’s hard work and late nights. Now that’s done I look forward to James and I publicly taking all the credit for the show when it comes out.”

James Acaster said this: “The second series of Hypothetical is going to be bigger, braver and more hypotheticaler than before! Widdicombe called me up and told me to suit up in my finest corduroys because it’s time to ask the questions most folk are too scared to ask to the people most folk are too scared to gaze upon. I’ve been wearing the big hat and the small hat on alternate days in preparation. I’ve got a pocketful of points and I’m keen to dish them out! They’re weighing me down! I’m lugging these points around everywhere with me and I need to lighten the load! I’ll give them to whoever I can! As long as they give me a satisfying answer to a hypothetical question.”
