Netflix in Talks to Air ‘Hot Ones’ Live Shows

As a die-hard fan of engaging and offbeat content, I am absolutely thrilled by the potential of “Hot Ones” gracing Netflix with its fiery presence. This show, which has become a must-watch for celebrities and fans alike, is not just a talk series; it’s an experience that brings people together in a unique and entertaining way.


Netflix is looking to heat up its live television slate.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some intriguing news: It appears that the streaming platform is in negotiations with BuzzFeed to broadcast the exhilarating live adaptations of “Hot Ones,” the viral YouTube talk show where Sean Evans grills celebrities while they bravely tackle progressively spicy chicken wings. This tantalizing tidbit comes straight from a reliable source, who spoke exclusively with EbMaster.

At this point, Netflix has expressed interest in having Evans host multiple live editions of “Hot Ones,” tailored exclusively for Netflix. It’s important to note that discussions regarding these potential episodes are still in their initial phases.

BuzzFeed chose not to provide a statement, while Netflix hasn’t responded yet to our request for a comment from EbMaster.

Hot Ones,” a highly-viewed YouTube show that’s also frequently visited by celebrities on their press tours, has attracted big names like Jennifer Lawrence, Paul Rudd, and Margot Robbie. The latest episodes have hosted Vince Vaughn, Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino, Will Smith, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman.

If the show “Hot Ones,” now streaming on Hulu, shifts to Netflix in this new format, it will be added to Netflix’s growing collection of live content, which includes sporting events such as golf, tennis, and boxing; a hot dog eating contest; and comedy specials from artists like Chris Rock and Joe Rogan. Netflix’s live events have had varying success in terms of audience attraction, but it recently achieved success with the offbeat talk series “Everybody’s in L.A.,” hosted by John Mulaney. In addition, Netflix will soon offer live wrestling programming as well as NFL games.

Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw broke the news of the negotiations.
