This season will see 14 well-known personalities as ‘inmates’ inside a controlled, high-pressure jail. Cut off from the outside world, stripped of comforts, and subjected to increasingly challenging tasks, the inmates must navigate shifting alliances and difficult choices where every move can flip the narrative overnight. Over six weeks, inmates will face daily tasks, status hierarchies, charge sheets, punishments, and terminations designed to test resilience and pure survival instincts.

Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa is co-produced by Balaji Telefilms Ltd and Colosceum, with Malaya Pradhan serving as the Executive Producer. The first season was streamed on ALTBalaji and MX Player and was hosted by Kangana Ranaut.

The second season of Lock Upp will stream on Netflix from June 27, every Saturday to Wednesday at 8 PM.
