Piers Morgan is returning to U.K. TV under a deal with Skydance-owned Paramount‘s U.K. network 5. The channel will showcase a weekly 90-minute highlights show, “a compilation of the very best bits of YouTube channel Piers Morgan Uncensored, in what the partners said “is believed to be the world’s first collaboration between a YouTube current affairs show and a legacy broadcaster.”
Piers Morgan Uncensored has been available on YouTube since April 2022. “A bold, opinion-led news and debate show hosted by Piers Morgan, the series is distributed globally via YouTube and podcast platforms,” 5 said. “Featuring high-profile interviews, it blends journalism, debates and cultural commentary in a format that’s unapologetically direct. The show positions itself as a fearless platform for free speech, tackling controversial topics, challenging public figures, and hosting fiery debates which often make headlines.”
It will air a weekly roundup of “the best interviews and debates” on Uncensored, “especially tailored for the 5 audience,” the network said.
“Piers Morgan Uncensored has become one of the world’s fastest-growing and most popular YouTube news channels, racking up over a billion views in just three years,” said Morgan. “I’m really excited our show will be crashing onto British TV screens in a game-changing partnership with 5, bringing viewers the most explosive debates, jaw-dropping interviews, and headline-grabbing moments every single week.”
Commissioned by Federico Ruiz, commissioning editor for 5 and Paramount+, Piers Morgan Uncensored is a Wake Up production, with executive editor Alex Campbell.
Said Ruiz: “Being thrilled to have Piers Morgan on 5 doesn’t scratch the surface. Uncensored will be an excellent fit: our viewers love straight talk, big opinions, and unapologetic personalities — and Piers delivers all three and then some. A linear, terrestrial broadcaster partnering with a current affairs YouTube channel is the sort of exciting cross-cultural handshake that marks where the industry is heading. The fuse is lit. We’re braced for impact…Piers is coming to 5.”
Piers Morgan Uncensored will be available weekly on 5 from 11 p.m. London time, starting Sept. 12.
