Alliance Season 2 to premiere on Prime Video on 14 Jan 2027
The Story in Brief
Prime Video has announced the second season of the reality series Alliance, which will premiere on 14 January 2027. Kunal Kemmu will return as host. The Indian adaptation of the Dutch format created by John de Mol is produced by Banijay Asia. The announcement comes a day after Netflix announced the second season of Lock Upp, IndiaTV News reports.
Season 1, Prime Video's first daily reality series globally, featured 16 celebrity contestants competing in physical and mental challenges while navigating alliances and shifting loyalties. Mini Mathur was the winner. Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals at Prime Video India, said the response validated that Indian audiences want smarter reality entertainment. Deepak Dhar of Banijay Asia said Season 2 will find new ways to test the Allies through choices and relationships. Further details about contestants and gameplay are yet to be announced.
Update, 2 October 2026: Bollywood Hungama now reports that Season 2 was greenlit in record time, with a fresh quote from Deepak Dhar calling it 'a strong validation of our approach'. The earlier announcement of the premiere date and Kunal Kemmu's return as host is confirmed across all outlets.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All four sources carry near-identical coverage of the Season 2 announcement, all built around the same quotes from Prime Video and Banijay Asia executives and the same release date. IndiaTV News alone adds context by noting the announcement came a day after Netflix's Lock Upp Season 2 news, and it names Mini Mathur as the Season 1 winner, a fact the other outlets omit. The second Bollywood Hungama story, published a day later, frames the renewal as having happened 'in record time' and carries a more detailed quote from Deepak Dhar about disrupting reality television. The uniform quotes mean the coverage is essentially a press-release rollout with minor framing differences on what ancillary detail each outlet foregrounds. The next concrete date is 14 January 2027.
