Answer
Where Are They Now?
Where Are They Now? is the Dragon's Den spin-off in which former contestants are revisited.
The programme follows up on entrepreneurs who previously appeared in the main series, examining what happened after their pitches and whether proposed deals led to lasting businesses. Follow-up programmes are useful because an on-screen offer is not always completed: investors may carry out due diligence, renegotiate terms or decide not to proceed.
The title is often written with a question mark because it is presented as a direct follow-up to the earlier appearances. It should not be confused with the main Dragon's Den series, which focuses on new pitches, or with recap segments shown within regular episodes. The spin-off format gives viewers a longer-term view of business outcomes, including growth, setbacks and changes to ownership. Its purpose is retrospective rather than introducing a separate panel of investors.
