What happens

Twenty Twenty Six is a British television comedy series written and directed by John Morton. The series is a spoof mockumentary following the organisation of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It premiered on BBC Two on 8 April 2026, with all episodes released the same day on BBC iPlayer. The series is a follow-up to Twenty Twelve, which followed the 2012 Summer Olympics, and W1A, which satirised the management of the BBC. It sees the reintroduction of Hugh Bonneville as his character Ian Fletcher from Twenty Twelve and W1A and Hugh Skinner as his character Will Humphries from W1A, alongside a new cast, with David Tennant's role as narrator continuing from the earlier series. The series received generally positive reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
