Indias Got Latent Season 2 Debuts on Netflix and YouTube with Alia Bhatt, Sharvari Guests
On June 20, 2026, the comedy‑talent arena opened its gates to a star‑studded showdown. Host Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent launched its second season with a dual premiere on Netflix and his own YouTube channel at 7 p.m. The first episode drew Bollywood actresses Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, who appeared to promote their upcoming film Alpha.
The show—described in a Hindi‑language article as a “controversial” comedy‑talent format—first surfaced on YouTube in 2024. It has since cultivated a following by mixing stand‑up, roasts, and celebrity interviews. Raina, a stand‑up comic who won Comicstaan 2 in 2019, has hosted every episode since the debut. According to the article, the new season will stream on Netflix while continuing to release episodes on YouTube every two weeks.
Alia Bhatt and Sharvari joined the premiere to boost Alpha, a female‑assassin thriller starring Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. The film is slated for a theatrical release on July 3, 2026. The promotion segment on the show included light‑hearted jokes about Bhatt’s recent film Jigra, which the article notes performed poorly at the box office.
During the episode, Raina unleashed his trademark roast on Bhatt. He quipped that he had “no idea” she was on the show, to which Bhatt replied that she “still feels a little regret.” Raina then confessed that he too had regretted watching Jigra. The banter sparked laughter from the audience and from Bhatt, who thanked Raina for the “nerve‑wracking” experience.
The episode also touched on Bhatt’s recent appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. Raina quipped that while Cannes is a prestigious event, India’s Got Latent is where the “camera is on you.” Bhatt responded that she is grateful for the platform and that the show’s humor is appreciated by fans.
The Hindi article notes that Bhatt was subject to online trolling during her Cannes appearance, with clips of her posing confidently being critiqued by photographers who shifted focus to other stars. The article does not provide details on any official response from Bhatt or her representatives.
The new season’s release strategy—simultaneous availability on Netflix and YouTube—signals a broader trend of content creators expanding into mainstream streaming platforms while retaining their original audience base. Raina’s move to Netflix follows a pattern seen with other YouTube personalities who have secured deals with major streaming services.
As of now, the first episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2 has been released, and the next episode is scheduled for July 4, 2026. Alpha will premiere on July 3, 2026, and the film’s marketing campaign is expected to continue through the summer. No further announcements have been made regarding additional guests or special segments for the upcoming episodes.
The season’s launch marks a significant step for Raina’s brand, blending his YouTube presence with Netflix’s global reach. The show’s continued presence on YouTube ensures that its core audience remains engaged while new viewers discover the format through the streaming platform.
