Inside No. 9 is a British black comedy anthology television programme written and created by Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith. It aired on BBC Two from 5 February 2014 to 12 June 2024, running for 9 series and 55 episodes. Each 30-minute episode is a self-contained story with new characters and a new setting, almost all starring Pemberton or Shearsmith (usually both). Aside from the writers, each episode has a new cast, allowing Inside No. 9 to attract a number of well-known actors. The stories are linked only by a setting related to the number 9 in some way, and a brass hare statue that is hidden in all episodes. Themes and tone vary from episode to episode, but all have elements of comedy and horror or perverse humour, in addition to a plot twist. Inside No. 9 as a whole has been very well received by critics, holding a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have praised the humour and creativity of the scripts, as well as the talent of the featured actors. A one-hour documentary, Inside No. 9: The Party's Over, aired on BBC One on 22 December 2024. The documentary gave a behind-the-scenes look at filming the last ever series, plus interviews with Cast And Crew from the nine series. In January 2025 Pemberton and Shearsmith wrote and starred in a West End stage play based on the series, titled Inside No. 9 Stage/Fright. The play was directed by Simon Evans and ran at the Wyndham's Theatre, London until April before embarking on a UK tour in the autumn and returning to London at the Hammersmith Apollo in January 2026.
