Romesh Ranganathan embarks on new series ‘Can’t Knock the Hustle’ (working title) launching in 2025

Published: December 18, 2024 — Sky has today announced that Can’t Knock the Hustle (w/t), a four-part travelogue series, will be coming to Sky Max and streaming service NOW in 2025. This brand-new Sky Original show takes Romesh Ranganathan’s debut arena tour, Hustle, and explodes it into a real-world, funny factual documentary series.

Featuring exclusive material from his latest tour, Romesh is on a hilarious eye-opening mission across the world, to explore the different cultures and approaches to getting that work-life balance to a tee.

Follow Romesh as he travels to India, USA, South Korea and Canada interrogating, unravelling and debunking his own material, in a global exploration of our hustle-obsessed modern existence.

Can’t Knock the Hustle (w/t) will launch on Sky Max and streaming service NOW in 2025.

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.
