MUMBAI: The Reality show Lock Upp Season 1, which was hugely successful and aired on ALT Balaji and MX Player last year (2022), from February to June is likely to have its next season soon.

The immensely popular Lock Upp Season 1 was hosted by controversy queen Kangana Ranaut and saw a lot of well-known celebrities from the television world including drama queens, Instagram influencers and former Bigg Boss contestants like stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui, self-proclaimed Swami Chakrapani, transgender Saisha Shinde, model Poonam Pandey, wrestler Babita Phogat, actor Sara Khan, politician Tehseen Poonawala, actor Payal Rohatgi, Tv actor Karanvir Bohra, actor Mandana Karimi, former Bigg Boss contestant Prince Narula, besides others.

Munawar Faruqui was declared the winner of the Ekta Kapoor-produced show.

With the huge success of the first season, the makers are planning the next season, which has been in the offing for some time now.

According to one source, actor Rayya Labib has been approached for the next season of Lock Upp. Tik Tok star Akash Chowdhary’s name had also cropped up in some media reports.

Neither Rayya Labib or the makers ALT Balaji were available for comment regarding the commencement of the show or Rayya’s participation, but sources said she could be on board.

ALT Balaji has not announced any specific date as to when Lock Upp 2 will go on air, but sources said it could be on in the next two months and could go on for almost 3 months.

We tried to contact the makers, but no response was forthcoming. However, the buzz in the OTT industry was that casting for Lock Upp Season 2 is in full swing.
