Speculation surrounding 'India's Got Latent' Season 2 has been rife since comedian Samay Raina, born on October 26, 1997, and currently 28 years old, first hinted at its revival during his stand-up special, 'Still Alive,' which premiered earlier this year.

The first season of India's Got Latent, a Hindi-language talent show, launched on Raina's YouTube channel on June 14, 2024. However, it was plagued by controversy, leading Raina to make all episodes private on February 12, 2025, after alleged derogatory remarks made by guest podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia sparked widespread outrage, legal complaints, and police investigations. Despite the hurdles, the show garnered significant viewership, with some episodes reportedly attracting between 20 to 30 million views.

Earlier in May 2026, Raina further fueled anticipation by sharing a behind-the-scenes picture from the shoot of the second season, captioned “Uski bhi shooting chal rahi hai dostoo.” Fans were also sent into a frenzy when Raina cryptically mentioned “14 June” during the finale of his 'COB Revival' chess tournament, prompting speculation about a potential release date.

Today, June 17, 2026, Netflix India posted a promotional image featuring Raina's bodyguard – an individual who also appeared in his 'Still Alive' special – and tagged Raina as a collaborator. The caption playfully read, “Drop in the comments pls, we're gonna need it (sic),” a clear nod to the past controversies that surrounded the show and Samay Raina's content.

In a comment that quickly went viral, Badshah took a light-hearted jab at the comedian and the streaming platform, writing, “Get a Good Editor."
