Peep Show's Matt King leaves Twitter after discovering disturbing video on the platform
'If this is what Elon Musk thinks is free speech then he's a lunatic,' the actor said
www.independent.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Matt King, the actor known for Peep Show's Super Hans, was the subject of revival chatter in late 2025, with interviews suggesting a possible one-off revival or special, though nothing official had been confirmed at that time. This reflects ongoing interest from fans and cast around continuing the series’ legacy.[1][3]
- In 2024, King was in the news for stepping back from social media after a disturbing video appeared on X (Twitter) and for comments indicating a willingness to reprise Super Hans if the right project and compensation aligned.[2][4]
- There was also media coverage in 2024–2025 noting his openness to a Christmas special or limited revival if the creative team and timing were right, aligning with fan demand reported around that period.[5]
Recent development you might be referring to:
- In April 2026, UK outlets reported that Matt King publicly disclosed a health issue (stroke) and described complications affecting mobility, with coverage focusing on his hospital stay and recovery updates. This is separate from Peep Show revival talk and represents a personal health update rather than a production update.[8][9][10]
If you’d like, I can gather and summarize more detailed articles from those sources, or set up a quick timeline of the revival discussions and King’s public statements through 2025–2026. Would you prefer a concise timeline or a short, news-style summary with links?
