What is the name of the Dragons' Den spin-off in which unsuccessful pitches are revisited after the programme?

Dragons' Den: What Happened Next? is the spin-off in which entrepreneurs’ stories are revisited after their appearances on Dragons' Den.

The programme follows up on businesses and contestants whose pitches have already been shown, examining what happened after the televised negotiation. That makes it different from the main series, where the central event is the original pitch and the Dragons’ immediate response.

Follow-up programmes are especially useful because a televised offer is not necessarily the same as a completed investment. Deals can change or fail during later checks, and entrepreneurs may continue without a Dragon. Revisiting the businesses allows viewers to see outcomes beyond the dramatic moment when the pitch ends.

The exact title matters because the words “What Happened Next?” describe the programme’s purpose. It is not simply another series of pitches and should not be confused with similarly themed business documentaries or generic behind-the-scenes specials.
