Following on from his debut arena tour, Hustle, Romesh Ranganathan embarks on a hilarious, eye-opening mission across the world in his new travelogue series, Romesh: Can’t Knock the Hustle, coming 24 September to Sky Max and streaming service NOW. 

Released today, the trailer for the series, introduced by Dame Emma Thompson, sees Romesh travel to India, USA, South Korea and Canada, interrogating, unravelling and debunking his own material, in a global exploration of our hustle-obsessed modern existence.  

The four-part series kicks off with Romesh’s Hustle stand-up special in full, filmed live at London’s O2 Arena, in which, Romesh explores his theories on life, work, self-improvement, and success. From there, he sets off around the world to check if any of those theories were correct. In his most personal and revealing travel series to date, can Romesh find the answers to modern life... and was any of his stand-up material that he performed to over a quarter of million people actually true? 

Romesh: Can’t Knock the Hustle airs 24 September on Sky Max and streaming service NOW.
