Guy Montgomery is back at the mic—and the dictionary—for Season 2 of Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee, premiering Wednesday, 4 June at 8:35 PM on ABC in Australia.
Tom Walker, who took the crown in Season 1, returns to defend his title against a new wave of comic contenders: Lloyd Langford, Hannah Gadsby, and Nina Oyama. Expect the same barely-contained chaos, as Montgomery and assistant Aaron Chen throw curveball spelling prompts like job titles, audience member names, and riddles packed with hidden meanings.
The format remains deliberately skewed. There’s a winner each week—but no real prize, just a “one-way ticket” to next episode’s mayhem. Spelling is only part of the battle; keeping a straight face through Chen’s grudge-driven side bits and Montgomery’s improvised rules is half the challenge.
Taped before a live studio audience, Spelling Bee leans into Australia’s alt-comedy scene with the kind of self-aware, low-stakes absurdity that’s made it a cult hit. Fans should expect plenty of made-up words, competitive nonsense, and increasingly elaborate ways to fail.
