London, Friday 19th September 2025 – It was announced today that, following a successful one-off special and in the week of The US president’s second state visit, Spitting Image returns for its first full 12-part series of, Spitting Image: The Rest Is Bulls*!t. An all-new episode will be available to view at 8pm tonight on the official Spitting Image YouTube channel, which passed a milestone 100million views earlier this month.
The specially created, original short-form episodes are for all those wanting to laugh in the face of these anxiety-inducing, squeaky-bum times of global conflict, unhinged world leaders and megalomaniac Fin Tech bosses. The (latex) gloves are off and it’s not pulling any punches. This isn’t just satire. It’s a no holds barred up-to-the-minute assault on the world of politics, pop culture and media control. From The White House to Windsor, from Putin to Paddington via Silicon Valley – it’s fearless, it’s as disgusting as the real people and it’s as hard-hitting as you remember – ideal entertainment for anyone with a 21st century attention span.

The new series is led creatively by Al Murray and Matt Forde who also wrote the critically acclaimed stage show Idiots Assemble: Spitting Image The Musical, which was praised by the Evening Standard for being “shockingly funny… I wasn’t expecting this to be so outrageously entertaining”, in a five-star review from the Daily Telegraph the show was applauded for being “a barrel-load of offence-giving fun and a salty dash of rebellion” with The Mail on Sunday celebrating the writer’s “healthy disrespect for the Establishment”.
The BAFTA and Emmy award-winning satirical Spitting Image television series originally ran for 18 series between 1984 and 1996 and was watched by over 15 million viewers. In 2020 it made a return to TV to (since disbanded UK streaming service) BritBox, achieving critical praise across the political divide. On official social media channels, Spitting Image content was massively popular with over 200 million views globally and three number 1 trending videos on YouTube. Three new one-off specials for ITV (alongside BritBox) also saw huge success on terrestrial television: with a 4.4 million audience in 2020 achieving ITV’s highest Saturday night ratings at that time in four years.
Spitting Image: The Rest Is Bulls*!t is produced by Avalon, the producer and director is Matt Stronge, and it is executive produced by Richard Allen-Turner, Jon Thoday and Roger Law. The new series is written by Al Murray, Matt Forde, Karl Minns and Glenn Moore.
