The reality show, produced by Ekta Kapoor, continues to dominate social media with over 7 million conversations and 5 billion views across platforms. Co-host Farah Khan commented on the milestone post, urging the makers to start season 2 soon. The show originally aired on ALTBalaji and MX Player in 2022 and was reimagined by Netflix this year. Hosted by Kangana Ranaut in its first outing, the new season featured contestants including winner Shreya Kalra and runner-up Shivangi Joshi. The finale trophy was labelled as season 1 of the Netflix version, leaving the door open for a second season. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Ekta Kapoor rebooted Lock Upp for Netflix after its original 2022 season on ALTBalaji and MX Player. The 125-million-hour figure places it among the platform's stronger Indian original reality shows, though it still trails global hits like Squid Game: The Challenge. Netflix does not typically announce renewal timelines, Farah Khan's public demand may signal that a decision is pending. The show generated over 7 million social-media conversations and 5 billion cross-platform views, numbers that will inform Netflix's calculus. Season 2 will likely be ordered in the next quarter if retention across 12 countries meets internal benchmarks. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Leads with streaming milestone and fan demand, no critical or government angle, straight industry reporting This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
