Following the success of the first season, the show’s return will see a fresh batch of comedy pairings set off on a journey to navigate some of the most treacherous roads around the world. The new season is set to air later this year.

Jamali Maddix and Larry Dean will head to the dramatic landscapes of Bhutan, while Rhod Gilbert and Angela Barnes take on the Italian Alps, and Mike Wozniak and Ola Labib drive into the Namibian wilderness. Slovenia will see David Harewood and Fraser James tackle its dangerous roads, while Olga Koch and Thanyia Moore venture into Bulgaria. Jeff Stelling and Chris Kamara set out to Sri Lanka, and Desiree Burch and Jessica Fostekew travel on Colorado’s dangerous ground. Finally, Seann Walsh and Joe Swash explore Guatemala’s not-so-safe turf.

World’s Most Dangerous Roads is produced by Ricochet and commissioned for UKTV.
