Lock Upp Season 2 OTT release details: Streaming date and time, confirmed contestant list, prize money of Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan's reality show

After months of speculation and endless fan discussions, Lock Upp is finally back with a brand-new season. The controversial reality show has returned with a major twist, as two familiar faces have stepped in to take charge of the jail. Packed with celebrity contestants, unexpected twists and high-pressure challenges, the latest edition promises plenty of drama as participants battle it out for survival and a massive cash prize.

When and where to watch Lock Upp Season 2

Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa premiered on Netflix on June 27, 2026. New episodes will stream every Saturday to Wednesday at 8 PM, giving viewers five episodes every week.

This season also marks a major change behind the scenes. Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan and actor Riteish Deshmukh have taken over as the show's new 'Jailers', replacing Kangana Ranaut, who hosted the first season in 2022.


The new hosts recently shared that contestants will not only have to survive difficult tasks but will also be expected to defend themselves against the allegations made about them while remaining true to who they are. They also confirmed that the winner of Lock Upp Season 2 will take home a cash prize of Rs 1 crore.

The reality show is co-produced by Balaji Telefilms and Colosceum, with Malaya Pradhan serving as the executive producer.

What is Lock Upp Season 2 about?

Like Season 1, the second season places 15 celebrity contestants inside a controlled jail environment where they have no contact with the outside world. Over the course of six weeks, the inmates will compete in physically and mentally demanding tasks while going through friendships, rivalries and unexpected twists.

The format is designed to push contestants beyond their comfort zones. With limited comforts, constant surveillance and regular eliminations, every decision can change the course of the game. Contestants will have to build alliances, face betrayals and prove themselves under pressure to stay in the competition.

Unlike the first season, which relied heavily on controversy, the new season aims to blend emotional storytelling with strategy-based gameplay. The trailer also hints at an entertaining contrast between Farah Khan's blunt and outspoken style and Riteish Deshmukh's calm but witty approach, adding a fresh dynamic to the show.

The first season of Lock Upp, which aired in 2022, became one of India's most talked-about reality shows. From viral moments to constant social media discussions, it generated significant buzz throughout its run. With Netflix now backing the franchise, expectations are high that Season 2 will recreate the same excitement on a larger scale.
