Derren Brown to return to Channel 4 with 'The Push'

Multi-award winning Derren Brown will return to our screens in January 2016 with a brand new one-off psychological experiment, 'Derren Brown: The Push'

In the groundbreaking special for Channel 4, Derren Brown exposes the psychological secrets of obedience and social compliance - lifting the lid on the terrifying truth that, when confronted with authority, our natural instinct is to unflinchingly obey without question. To such an extent that even the most moral people can be made to commit the most horrendous acts, simply because they are told to do so.

Derren Brown said: “I'm truly excited to be back on Channel 4, especially as this project is the first to be produced by my new company, Vaudeville Productions. The world of social compliance is a deeply fascinating one and hopefully we will take the viewer on a journey that will be disturbing and entertaining in equal measure."

Derren Brown: The Push comes to Channel 4 in the new year.

Derren Brown: The Push is commissioned by Liam Humphreys, Channel 4’s Head Of Entertainment and Factual Entertainment, and Entertainment Editor, Sarah Lazenby. The Executive Producers for Vaudeville Productions are Derren Brown, Andrew O'Connor and Martin Dance. The Series Producer is Martin Turner.
