What is the name of the British Dragons' Den spin-off in which former contestants revisit their businesses?

Dragons' Den: What Happened Next? is the British Dragons' Den spin-off in which former contestants revisit their businesses.

The programme follows up on entrepreneurs who previously appeared in the main series. Rather than concentrating on a new pitch in the studio, it examines what happened after the original appearance, including whether a deal was completed, how the business developed and what obstacles the founders encountered.

This format addresses a question that viewers naturally ask after watching the main programme: did the investment actually happen, and did the company succeed? A televised offer is not always the same as a completed investment, because due diligence and negotiations can change the final agreement.

The title is sometimes confused with general “where are they now?” coverage or with the main Dragons' Den programme itself. The identifying phrase is “What Happened Next?”, which signals the retrospective structure and distinguishes the spin-off from ordinary pitch episodes.
