Summary
“Hot Ones: Extra Heat” will premiere July 13 immediately after Netflix’s Home Run Derby stream, with the platform slotting the new series after major live sports and big premieres.
Netflix ordered the show as it pushes deeper into territory dominated by YouTube, which Nielsen ranks as the most-watched streaming service on U.S. television sets, ahead of Netflix.
Sean Evans will keep hosting weekly “Hot Ones” episodes on YouTube while fronting the roughly 30-minute Netflix spinoff, which keeps the celebrity-and-spicy-wings format.
The Netflix version will expand the show’s scale with a bigger budget and new venues; its first episode is set at a college baseball stadium instead of the signature black-curtain studio.
