The previously announced sixth series of The Russell Howard Hour will return to Sky Max next month.

Running for 14 episodes, Series 6 will debut on Sky Max at 10pm on Thursday 8th September 2022, and is expected to run into the new year after a break over the Christmas period.

Production company Avalon says: "Obsessed with the news, the comedy megastar makes his highly anticipated return, following his third and biggest sell-out world tour. The satirical and topical series, which will include Russell's 100th episode on Sky, is perfectly timed to launch during the week the new Prime Minister is set to be announced.

"Throughout the series Russell will be joined by guests in studio and via a satellite link, and we will see the welcome return of Playground Politics, where Russell talks to entertaining school children around the country on a whole host of topics and issues and Good Deeds, with the show continuing to celebrate the nation's acts of kindness plus live guest performances from the world of comedy."

The topical, weekly series will also be available on Sky-owned streaming service NOW.
