Producer Ekta Kapoor is all set to bring back her controversial reality show Lock Upp with a brand-new season. While the first season became a massive hit in 2022, the makers are now returning with a completely fresh format, a new title, and new hosts to raise the entertainment quotient even higher.
This time, the show has been renamed Lock Upp: Sach Ya Saza, and fans can expect even more drama, shocking revelations, emotional breakdowns, and intense rivalries inside the prison-themed reality show.
Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh to Host the New Season
One of the biggest changes this season is the replacement of Kangana Ranaut, who hosted the first season and became known for her strict “jailer” avatar. The makers have now handed over the responsibility to filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan and actor Riteish Deshmukh.
The unexpected pairing has already grabbed attention online after the release of the show’s latest promo. In the teaser, Farah and Riteish are seen inside a jail-like setup discussing how public opinion can completely change a contestant’s fate in the game.
Explosive Promo Raises Excitement
The recently released teaser has created strong buzz on social media. The promo hints that the upcoming season will continue the same controversial and high-pressure format that made the first season successful.
From heated arguments and emotional moments to shocking confessions and changing friendships, the new season promises non-stop entertainment for viewers. The intense atmosphere shown in the teaser suggests that contestants will once again be pushed to their emotional and mental limits.
Where and When to Watch
The first season of Lock Upp streamed on ALTBalaji and MX Player, but the upcoming season will now premiere on Netflix. Netflix has reportedly collaborated with Balaji Telefilms for the show’s new season.
Lock Upp: Sach Ya Saza is scheduled to start streaming from June 27.
Contestants and Show Format
According to the makers, the new season will feature 14 celebrity contestants who will remain locked inside the prison setup for six weeks. During their stay, contestants will face difficult tasks, punishments, eliminations, and intense personal conflicts while being completely cut off from the outside world.
The first season of Lock Upp became one of the most talked-about reality shows because of its controversial format and the personal revelations made by contestants. Hosted by Kangana Ranaut, the show featured celebrities from television, films, and social media competing against each other inside a jail-themed environment.
Popular comedian Munawar Faruqui emerged as the winner of the debut season.
