Sky has announced an exciting new Sky Original series, Can't Knock the Hustle, set to debut on Sky Max and streaming on NOW in 2025. This four-part travelogue will see comedian Romesh Ranganathan blending stand-up comedy with a globetrotting exploration of work-life balance across four countries.
Inspired by his debut arena tour, Hustle, the series takes Romesh's comedic insights from the stage and tests them in the real world. Packed with exclusive material from his tour, Can't Knock the Hustle promises to be a hilarious yet thought-provoking dive into the ways different cultures approach our increasingly hustle-driven modern lives.
Romesh will travel to India, the USA, South Korea, and Canada to explore their unique perspectives on balancing ambition, work, and personal happiness. Along the way, he'll interrogate the very ideas he delivered to packed arenas, poking fun at his own comedic logic and uncovering the truths (or lack thereof) behind his material.
Speaking about the series, Romesh said, "Stand-ups often deliver a show completely unchecked by logic. We decided to film a series exploring what I'd said on stage and whether I was right. This show confirms the suspicion that I often don't know what I'm talking about."
Benjamin Green, Director & MD of Ranga Bee Productions, added, "It takes a special kind of person to diligently fact-check their tour show – but an even more special kind to wait until after they've performed it for thousands of people. Romesh is that person."
With its mix of comedy, travel, and cultural commentary, Can't Knock the Hustle looks set to deliver a unique, laugh-out-loud experience when it lands in 2025. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Romesh's stand-up or someone curious about how the world hustles, this series is bound to be a must-watch.
