The Traitors India Season 2 rollout

Entities: Karan Johar · Prime Video · Ranveer Brar · Shahneel Gill · All3Media International

Overview

Prime Video confirmed that the Indian adaptation of the reality‑competition series *The Traitors* will return for a second season, launching globally on 13 August 2026. Filmed earlier this year at the historic Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, the show will be hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar and produced by Dharmatic Entertainment in partnership with All 3Media International and BBC Studios India Production.

The contestant roster now totals 21 high‑profile participants from Bollywood, television, digital media, sports and business. In addition to previously announced names such as Rhea Chakraborty, Mallika Sherawat, Shalini Passi, Ranveer Brar, Shweta Tiwari, Munawar Faruqui, Dalip Tahil, Abhishek Malhan, Krystle D’Souza and Karan Singh, the lineup includes actress‑entrepreneur Parul Gulati, chef‑turned‑actor Shahneel Gill (sister of cricketer Shubman Gill), and influencer Soundous Moufakir.

A pre‑launch controversy emerged when Parul Gulati called fellow contestant Rida Tharana a “fake friend,” sparking speculation about a past feud involving influencer Apoorva Mukhija. Episodes will debut on Thursdays at 00:00 IST on Prime Video, with weekly releases.

The promotion highlights fresh twists, the possibility of a mystery co‑host, and the core gameplay of identifying hidden “traitors.”
