LOL 2: from Virginia Raffaele to Corrado Guzzanti, here is the (super) cast

We knew that after the success of the first edition of LOL – Who laughs is out, Prime Video would have spared no expense so as not to disappoint the expectations of its loyal audience, and it did. The cast, at least on paper, is even stronger than last year, and will see the protagonists competing to resist any attempt to laugh or smile for the duration of the program, which is six consecutive hours. The ten comedians called to face this seemingly impossible challenge are: Virginia Raffaele, Corrado Guzzanti, Diana Del Bufalo, Maccio Capatonda, Maria Di Biase, Mago Forest, Alice Mangione, Gianmarco Pozzoli, Tess Masazza and Max Angioni. He will be the referee from his control tower once again Fedez, escorted no longer by Mara Maionchi, but by one of the competitors who made us laugh the most during the first season, that is Frank Matano.

Again this time LOL will provide a symbolic prize: a check for 100 thousand euros in favor of a charity chosen by the winner. As for the formula, the mechanism will always be the same: the ten participants must both try not to laugh and make their opponents smile, each with their own comic style: from stand-up to improvisation, in a fight to the last sketch with no holds barred. Watching the hilarious comedy contest from control room they will be, in fact, Fedez and Matano: at the first laugh of one of the comedians, a yellow card will be given, followed, at the next, by the dreaded red card of expulsion from the game.

“The global success of our Amazon Studios format, LOL, it was overwhelming, ”said Georgia Brown, head of European Amazon Originals, Amazon Studios. “To date, LOL: Who laughs is out is our most successful Italian original series, so we are delighted to offer customers a second season with an incredible new group of talented Italian comedians ». «The success of the first season of LOL: Who laughs is out it was mind blowing. Among catchphrases, memes, posts on social networks, phrases that have entered the common language, LOL has reached that popularity that was thought to be still exclusive to generalist TV, demonstrating how even a streaming program, if done well, can reach anyone: everyone was talking about it, in endless word of mouth, ”he said Leonardo Pasquinelli, CEO of Endemol Shine Italy. «The first edition was much more than a television success, revealing itself to be a real social phenomenon; in addition to the extraordinary virality on the web, some of the gags and cult moments of the program have entered the common conversations of Italians, in families, in schools and even in the workplace. Our greatest satisfaction is having created a transversal and pop product without having renounced production quality “, said Nicole Morganti, head of Amazon Originals, Italy. The second season of LOL, produced by Endemol Shine Italy for Amazon Studios, will arrive in the spring of 2022 on Amazon Prime Video.
