The CBBC presenter's first run of Deadly! Live shows was a huge success in 2025 and now he's filling another 10 UK tour dates this October half-term.

As before, Backshall will be taking audiences on an unforgettable journey as he tracks some of the world’s most formidable predators, from big cats and birds of prey to dinosaurs, snakes, and more.

He said: "I’m thrilled to be bringing Deadly Live! back for 2026. I was blown away by the response from audiences last year – both the adults and the kids! And I'm delighted that we will be taking the show to many parts of the country that we couldn't get to last time.

"We’ve got some amazing stunts and incredible experiments planned for this supersized show for all the family. Join me this autumn half term as we explore once again animals from 600 million years ago right through to modern day.”

First airing in 2008, Deadly 60 follows presenter Backshall and his crew as they travel to remote regions in an attempt to discover the deadliest 60 animals living on the planet. The wildlife show is currently on its seventh season, airing on CBBC.
