Undercover Boss is a British reality television series.

The first series, consisting of two episodes, aired in 2009; the second series, with six episodes, aired one year later. This original series sparked the Undercover Boss franchise.[1] Localised versions have been produced in the United States, France, Australia, Germany, Canada and various other countries.
