Lock Upp 2 Grand Finale Delayed? Rumours of an Extension Stir Fans as TRPs Soar

Lock Upp 2 may run longer – finale possibly pushed to mid‑August amid soaring viewership

Netflix’s reality hit Lock Upp 2, hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, could see its grand finale shifted to mid‑August after reports of a six‑week extension sparked buzz among viewers.

When Lock Upp 2 first streamed on Netflix on June 27, 2026, nobody could have guessed the whirlwind it would become. Hosted by the ever‑charismatic Farah Khan alongside Riteish Deshmukh, the show has already clocked four weeks of drama, eliminations and, yes, a few controversies.

Now, a handful of media outlets are buzzing that the series might not end when originally planned. The speculation? An extra six weeks added to the schedule, which would push the coveted grand finale to around August 15‑16 instead of the earlier date that fans were eyeing.

It’s worth noting that Netflix hasn’t officially confirmed any change. The reports are based on industry chatter and the show’s surprisingly high TRP numbers – though the network hasn’t released concrete ratings, the buzz is palpable.

Among the latest twists, contestant Yogesh Rawat faced elimination, sparking a flurry of debates across social media. At the same time, there’s talk of a wild‑card entrant – Apurva Mukhija, popularly dubbed “The Rebel Kid.” While the name has been tossed around, no formal announcement has been made, leaving viewers on tenterhooks.

Drama isn’t limited to the competition floor. A recent spat between Shreya Kalra and Ram Kapoor has added another layer of intrigue. Kalra accused Kapoor of crossing personal boundaries, prompting Kapoor’s wife, Gautami Kapoor, to jump to his defence, insisting her husband is “not a pervert.” The episode has trended across platforms, underscoring how the show’s off‑screen drama fuels its on‑screen ratings.

Whether the extension becomes official or not, one thing is clear: Lock Upp 2 has managed to capture a massive audience, and the producers seem keen to keep that momentum rolling. Until Netflix either confirms or denies the rumours, fans will have to keep guessing – and perhaps brace for a longer, twist‑filled ride.
