Romesh Ranganathan to front Prime Video comedy reality series

October 8, 2025

Prime Video has announced it will launch a new comedy reality series Would You Rather: Decide to Survive, hosted by comedian Romesh Ranganathan. The series will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide in 2026.

Would You Rather… be invisible or be able to fly? Fight 1 giant duck or 1000 tiny ducks? Eat a man-sized bean or a bean-sized man? We’ve all played the classic hypothetical game – now get ready to play it for real. The game show sees two teams of familiar faces compete in challenges based on ‘Would You Rather’ decisions. These three simple words decide everything from what they eat to who they send home. One by one the players will be eliminated until we have our Would You Rather: Decide to Survive champion.

Would You Rather: Decide to Survive is produced by BOLDPRINT Studios with Phil Harris, Lou Hutchinson and Georgina Hinds acting as Executive Producers, Sharon Fuller as Head of Production, Sophie Bush as Series Editor, Rebecca Keating as Production Executive and Mel Bones as Line Producer.

Ranganathan commented: “I’m excited about this new show, and I’m not just saying that because I’m hosting, although that does help. Would You Rather is a game that everyone is familiar with and now we’re making ten people live through these choices, which is both hilarious and slightly cruel – the perfect combination for quality entertainment.”

Tara Erer, Head of North Europe Originals, said: “Would You Rather: Decide to Survive is exactly what we love about UK unscripted originals – big, bold entertainment with just enough chaos and comedy. We’ve taken a classic party game and turned it into a competition, because why not? And with Romesh Ranganathan at the helm – who could make reading the back of a cereal box hilarious – we’re confident this show will be unmissable, must-watch television for Prime Video customers.”

“The whole team at BOLDPRINT and Prime Video have done such an outstanding job to bring this format to life” added Harris. “We can’t wait for viewers to see Romesh tease and torment our incredible cast as they navigate laugh-out-loud dilemmas and challenges…”
