Alliance season 2 to premiere on Prime Video on January 14, 2027; Kunal Kemmu to return

Here's the latest on what's streaming and coming up:

The Indian adaptation of the Dutch reality format created by John de Mol is produced by Banijay Asia. The first season featured 16 star contestants, known as Allies, who competed in physical and mental challenges while navigating alliances, shifting loyalties and tasks designed to test their strategy.

Adding to this, Season 1 was Prime Video’s first daily reality series globally, with new episodes streaming every day at noon. According to Prime Video, the response to the first season led to the decision to bring the show back sooner.

Meanwhile, Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals, Prime Video, India, shared the first season showed that viewers were interested in a reality format centred on strategy and gameplay.

Notably, “The response to Alliance Season 1 validated what we always believed, that Indian audiences are ready for a smarter form of reality entertainment. The show didn't just find an audience; it created a community of viewers who were invested in every move, every alliance, and every shift in the game. The love that season 1 got inspired us to ensure we don’t make them wait one full year,” he shared.

As per the latest buzz, Madhok added that the soon-to-release season will introduce higher stakes and changes to the game.

In further updates, “We are bringing back Season 2 sooner, with higher stakes, sharper gameplay, more drama, and an evolved ‘System’ that will test the Allies like never before. Our continued partnership with Banijay Asia allows us to further push the boundaries of this format. Alliance has firmly established itself as a defining title in India's unscripted space, and Season 2 will only strengthen that position.”

On top of that, Deepak Dhar, Founder and Group CEO, Banijay Asia and Endemol Shine India, shared the new season will continue to focus on strategy and relationships while introducing new ways to test the contestants.

“Alliance is a format that asks a very simple question: when the rules keep changing, who can keep their head in the game? That tension between strategy and human behaviour is what made Season 1 so compelling, and it is also what gives us so much room to evolve the show,” he shared.
