Sky has commissioned Can’t Knock the Hustle (w/t), a four-part travelogue series for Sky Max for a 2025 TX.
This new Sky Original show takes Romesh Ranganathan’s debut arena tour, Hustle, and “explodes it into a real-world, funny factual documentary series.”
The series will feature exclusive material from Ranganathan’s latest tour and follows him as he travels to India, the USA, South Korea and Canada “interrogating, unravelling and debunking his own material, in a global exploration of our hustle-obsessed modern existence.”
Romesh Ranganathan 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 Ranga Bee Productions: “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.”
Can’t Knock the Hustle (w/t) is produced by Ranga Bee Productions for Sky. It is directed by Benjamin Green who also serves as Executive Producer alongside Romesh Ranganathan. John Hodgson is the Series Producer. The series commissioned by Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive Director of Unscripted Originals at Sky, for Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of Sky Studios & Chief Content Officer for Sky. The Commissioning Editor is Barbara Lee.
