Fourteen years on from Twenty Twelve—a British mockumentary following the organizing body of the 2012 London Olympics—and 12 years after its BBC-lampooning sequel, W1A, director John Morton and star Hugh Bonneville are back for a third go. The new target? The 2026 FIFA World Cup. Bonneville reprises his perpetually-bemused Ian Fletcher, who has variously served as Head of Deliverance for the Games, Head of Values for the BBC, and has now been dispatched to Miami as Director of Integrity for the Cup’s Oversight team. As David Tennant observes in a voiceover, Fletcher must “establish his place in a corporate culture which is irretrievably American.” The hijinks, as one might expect, are just the right amount of absurd. —Paulina Prosnitz
