5 Pacts with Piers Morgan Uncensored

5 in the U.K. is bringing highlights from Piers Morgan’s YouTube channel to its viewers with a new weekly series.

Touted as a first-of-its-kind collaboration between a YouTube current-affairs show and a legacy broadcaster, 5 will showcase a 90-minute weekly compilation of highlights from Piers Morgan Uncensored, which he has hosted on YouTube since 2022.

Morgan 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. 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.”

Federico Ruiz, commissioning editor at 5 and Paramount+, added: “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 is a Wake Up Production. It launches on September 12 at 11 p.m.
