Overview
- Producers confirmed that Lock Upp Season 2, rebranded Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa and backed by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji, will premiere on Netflix on June 27, 2026 with Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh as the show’s jailer-hosts.
- Promotional materials say 14 celebrity 'inmates' will live in a prison-style set for a six-week run focused on forced confessions and status-based tasks, and episodes will stream Saturday through Wednesday at 8 pm.
- Multiple outlets have published overlapping lists of people the makers have approached or named as likely contestants, but the full, producer-confirmed roster has not been formally released.
- Comedian Pranit More, who several reports say was approached, is the subject of a Maharashtra Cyber Police FIR tied to a viral 'Rs 370 biryani' crowd-work incident that critics say encouraged a harmful remark, raising legal and PR questions for casting decisions.
- Talks with other potential entrants continue publicly, with outlets reporting Mahhi Vij as in advanced discussions and several TV and digital personalities linked to the season, which signals Netflix’s push to bring high-drama Indian reality formats to a larger streaming audience.
