Lock Upp 2, the controversial Indian reality show, is set to stream on Netflix from June 27, 2026, with new co-hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh replacing Kangana Ranaut. Episodes will drop every Saturday to Wednesday at 8 PM, featuring 14 celebrity contestants battling eliminations, shifting alliances and intense tasks over six weeks in a high-drama lock-up format.
After months of speculation, Lock Upp 2 finally has a date. The reality show, one of the more chaotic entries in India's reality television history, is coming to Netflix on June 27, 2026, and this time it's bringing Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh along for the ride as co-hosts after the exit of Kangana Ranaut. If you haven't been following the buzz, here's everything about the Lock Upp 2 OTT release date on Netflix and other streaming details. We also take a look at the possible Lock Upp 2 contestants.
Netflix has picked up Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa as part of its push into Indian reality content, and the timing makes sense for part 2. The first season, which ran in 2022, generated exactly the kind of noise streaming platforms love, constant controversy, social media chatter and the sort of watercooler drama that keeps subscribers from cancelling. Lock Upp 2 drops on June 27. As far a steh time is concerned, then know that it will stream every Saturday through Wednesday at 8 PM on Netflix.
This is probably the most interesting change from Season 1. Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh are stepping in as co-hosts, or Jailers, in the show's language, replacing Kangana Ranaut, who fronted the first season. The two bring very different energies to the table: Farah is sharp, unfiltered and comfortable holding her own in messy television moments, while Riteish tends to be warmer but no less watchable.
The recently released trailer hints at decent chemistry between them, though the real test will be how they handle contestants mid-meltdown.
This season will feature 14 celebrity contestants living together in a controlled environment with limited access to the outside world. Over six weeks, inmates will face demanding tasks, shifting power dynamics and regular eliminations.
Contestants will be required to navigate alliances, rivalries and personal revelations while competing to remain in the game. The format is designed to test resilience, adaptability and social strategy under constant observation.
The official cast announcement hasn't dropped yet, but names have been circulating for weeks. Uorfi Javed, Sunita Ahuja and Archana Gautam are among those reportedly set to enter the lock-up. Expect the confirmed list to land closer to the premiere date, likely with a few surprises thrown in.
