Describing the series, Louis said it's "very different to the kind of TV I normally make". He also said joining Stormzy on tour was a "proper pinch-me" moment.
Louis explained: "I'm so excited to be embarking on this new series - something very different to the kind of TV I normally make. This will be a chance to meet and spend time with people I admire, getting to know them, having long form and revealing conversations, with honesty, emotion, and humour.
"To be kicking off with the genius that is Stormzy is proper pinch-me stuff. I can't wait to get going."
