Get ready for a massive curveball in the reality TV world! In 2025, Amazon Prime Video unleashed ‘Rise And Fall’, a power-packed reality show that instantly became the talk of the town, with many die-hard viewers boldly claiming it was “better than Bigg Boss”. Fast forward to now, and the highly anticipated Season 2 has officially been greenlit – but with a massive twist at the helm. Last year, the fiercely blunt Ashneer Grover ran the show. This time? It is none other than Indian cricket legend Virender Sehwag stepping up to the crease to take over as the host!

So, what exactly is ‘Rise And Fall’ all about? Set across the heavily contrasting worlds of a luxurious penthouse and a gruelling basement, the high-stakes game brings together 15 celebrities completely divided into two distinct groups: the Rulers and the Workers. While the Rulers get to kick back and enjoy the privileges of the penthouse, the Workers are forced to navigate the harsh realities of the basement. Every single decision, alliance, and move has the power to change the entire course of the game. As money and influence heavily come into play, contestants must rely on strategy, pure instinct, and their ability to read the game as they fiercely navigate rivalries, alliances, and unexpected challenges.
For those keeping track, the debut season was won by popular television actor Arjun Bijlani. Produced by Banijay Asia, ‘Rise And Fall Season 2’ is based on the gripping format originally created by Studio Lambert in the UK. The brand-new season will soon stream for free on Prime Video and MX Player, though the exact release date and the highly anticipated list of 15 celebrity contestants are yet to be revealed. Let the games begin!
