The program has previously been a success in Norway, where "Norway's Dumbest" premiered in 2024. During the premiere season, the episodes had an average of over one million viewers.
The program idea is a kind of reverse competition where the smartest participant gets to go home directly and the rest risk winning the not-so-flattering title of Sweden's Dumbest.
In the Swedish version, the program is hosted by Mauri Hermundsson and author and former "På spåret" profile Björn Hellberg.
In a press release, Hermundsson describes the work on the program as "an experience".
"Partly because I got to do it with the wonderful Björn Hellberg, partly because we had such fun participants who dared to show off their sometimes incredible knowledge gaps", he says.
Lotta Engberg and Mikael Sandström compete against Tiktok profile Tilda Törnqvist, former football pro Anders Svensson, reality profile Ikenna Abika, podcaster Bathina Philipson, journalist Suzanne Axell, artist Lia Larsson, and photographer Bingo Rimér.
The series premieres on TV4 Play and TV4 on August 14.
