Following on from his
BBC iPlayer-exclusive "Autopsy" shows,
New World Order airs as prime time TV on
BBC Two. It follows a very similar structure to Boyle's "Autopsy"; instead of the studio audience voting in agreement or disagreement with the thesis, however, Boyle summarises the debate in a short monologue to camera. The show premiered on 8 June 2017. The show returned for a review of the year on 29 December 2017 as ''Frankie Boyle's 2017 New World Order
. The second series of seven episodes started on 18 May 2018. The data journalist Mona Chalabi became a regular in this series. Another end-of-year review show, Frankie Boyle's 2018 New World Order
, was broadcast on 27 December 2018. A third series began on 29 March 2019. Ryan was not in this series, having left the show. An end-of-year review show, Frankie Boyle's 2019 New World Order'', was broadcast on 30 December 2019. A fourth series that debuted on 3 September 2020 was followed by a 2020 review show on 1 January 2021. In September 2021, Boyle announced that the show would return for a fifth series the following month, recorded in Glasgow. Boyle spoke about the writing and filming process for series six in July 2022. He said that he would workshop material for the series in the Glee Club, Glasgow from July to the recording—this includes the closing monologues, co-authored by
Charlie Skelton. He planned around 40 "warm-up shows" to practice jokes. Boyle said: "there's often a bit at the start where there's three big jokes that lead you in", to "try and get [the audience] on board and create some confidence with them". Boyle announced in March 2023 that the BBC had cancelled the series, saying that this was "not surprising in the current climate, I suppose". A writer for
Chortle commented that the BBC was potentially shifting prioritisation away from panel shows and towards scripted comedy, and that
New World Orders viewership had declined over time. However, the writer and
The Independents Louis Chilton connected it to criticisms that the BBC was avoiding content that was critical of the
current government. ==Episode list==
