After a hiatus of two years, the adrenaline-pumping reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi is set to make a comeback with its 15th season. Hosted by Rohit Shetty, the show will air on Colors TV. The announcement was made with the release of an AI-generated promo, sparking excitement and anticipation among fans.
The new season follows Khatron Ke Khiladi season 14, which aired in 2024. The absence of a new season in 2025 had led to speculation about the show's future, but Rohit Shetty put those rumors to rest by confirming its return during an episode of Bigg Boss 19. While appearing on Bigg Boss 19, Shetty mentioned that the audience was upset about Khatron Ke Khiladi not being aired in 2025, but the show would be back next year.
The promo for Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 utilizes AI to create high-octane visuals, including a woman tied to a speeding truck that plunges off a mountain. This innovative approach has generated buzz and curiosity, setting the stage for the extreme challenges that the show is known for.
While the official premiere date is yet to be announced, reports suggest that Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 is set to premiere in June 2026. Shooting is expected to begin in May, with the location still being finalized. Earlier reports had indicated a January 2026 premiere, but it seems viewers will have to wait a bit longer.
Several names have been circulating as potential contestants for the new season. Gaurav Khanna and Farrhana Bhatt, from Bigg Boss 19, are reportedly being considered. Previously, there were rumors of Avinash Mishra, Chum Darang, Digvijay Rathee, and Shrutika Arjun from Bigg Boss 18, and Abhishek Bajaj, Baseer Ali and Nehal Chudasama from Bigg Boss 19 being approached. However, Abhishek Bajaj denied these rumors.
Khatron Ke Khiladi is the Indian adaptation of Fear Factor and has been a popular reality show since 2008. The show's return after a two-year gap is highly anticipated, and like previous seasons, Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 will also be available for streaming on JioHotstar.
Notably, earlier reports in 2025 suggested that Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 faced potential cancellation due to scheduling conflicts, production disagreements and logistical challenges. Budget issues and disagreements between the show's producers, Banijay, and Colors channel, were also cited as reasons for the delay. Ultimately, these issues appear to have been resolved, paving the way for the show's comeback.
