Paramount+ and Network 10 have locked in a premiere date for the new season of The Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers, with the prank-driven comedy returning Monday, June 9 at 9:40 PM across 10, 10 Play, and streaming on Paramount+.
The Aussie format—built around real-life mates Jack, Falcon, Liam, and Dom—leans harder into public mayhem this season, pushing the dares further and raising the stakes when someone flinches. The setup remains simple: complete the challenge or face the consequences, with each penalty engineered for maximum embarrassment.
Episodes will feature ambush-style bits in public spaces, more drag-in-the-mates tactics, and what the producers are teasing as “brutal” punishments when one of the jokers pulls out. The group’s chemistry—and appetite for mutual destruction—is the engine here, with no stunt off-limits and no ego too fragile.
The show was an early breakout when it debuted on Paramount+ and 10, quickly pulling in a younger demo drawn to unscripted comedy with a bite. The format blends classic hidden-camera tactics with a mate-versus-mate twist that’s helped carve out a lane in a crowded local comedy slate.
For Paramount ANZ, it’s another play at cross-platform comedy that can serve both the broadcast and streaming audience without softening the edge. The new season drops weekly after launch, timed to hit both linear viewers and binge-inclined streamers looking for fast laughs and secondhand discomfort.
