Your Netflix subscription is about to get hotter — with a lot more poultry, too.

Hot Ones: Extra Heat will bring the critically acclaimed Hot Ones interview format to Netflix this summer. Host Sean Evans and his wings will leave the studio and head to settings inspired by major moments on Netflix, be it live sports events or a premiere, in a series of 30-minute specials. First up: Will Ferrell, Fortune Feimster, and Jimmy Tatro, stars of the upcoming golf comedy The Hawk, will endure 10 rounds of chicken wings — rest assured, no hawks will be harmed — immediately after Major League Baseball’s T-Mobile Home Run Derby on July 13. Additional specials will be announced at a later date.

“As a student of the late-night genre, I’m obsessed with the art of the interview, and believe that these conversations warrant a level of scale and spectacle that sometimes can’t be contained by a studio,” says Evans. “It’s exciting to partner with Netflix to continue to break new ground with the format while keeping the core of what fans love about Hot Ones firmly intact.” 

Hot Ones launched in 2015, and has produced about 400 episodes featuring celebrities from Matt Damon (The Rip) to Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This) to Kevin Hart (72 Hours) and Shaq (Power Moves) answering 10 rounds of Evans’s questions as the wings (or tofu) and the queries get increasingly spicy. BTS recently appeared in the largest episode ever: With 80 wings on the table, they capped off their time with a pose embodying what it was like to eat the hottest wings ever.

Saturday Night Live famously parodied Hot Ones twice with Is It Cake? host Mikey Day as Evans grilling Beyoncé (Maya Rudolph), who asks for her bones to be removed from her body with “ones that aren’t on fire.”

Evans, Chris Schonberger, Sarah Honda, Aaron Cooke, and K.P. Anderson serve as executive producers for Extra Heat, with production by Digital Cinema Collective. Evans’s YouTube series will continue to produce new episodes.
