Netflix has announced the return of its hit reality series Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, which will be back for a second season. The non-scripted series, which completed its first season on the platform earlier this year, will continue with the same format and the same host 'jailers': Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan. No premiere date, contestant list or filming schedule has been announced.
Produced by Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor and Manisha Sharma, and showrun by Malaya Pradhan, the second season promises to "blur the lines between spectacle and vulnerability."
The show's format places celebrity contestants inside a jail-themed environment where they are required to complete tasks, confront personal narratives and compete for survival in the game.
Netflix India's VP of Content Monika Shergill confirmed the renewal, describing the first season as having become appointment viewing and noting that the show generated debate and audience investment beyond what is typical for a reality format. She said, "Season 2 will be about recreating the same Netflix effect with many new surprises for our audiences."
Ekta Kapoor, in a statement, said the conversations and moments from the first season continued to stay with audiences after the finale and that the second season would bring a new set of personalities and stories into the same format. "The next season will take audiences back into a world they know, but with an entirely new set of stories, personalities, and surprises. And Farah and Riteish will continue to helm the Lock Upp as the formidable jailer duo, bringing their own energy, unpredictability, and dynamic to the next chapter.”
No further details about the second season's cast and release timeline have been disclosed yet.
