The first glimpse of the new season draws a comparison between cricket and the show's unpredictable gameplay. Sehwag is seen stepping into the role of someone who will watch contestants navigate changing alliances, rivalries and decisions that can alter their position in the game.
Speaking about the show, Sehwag said cricket had taught him that “no match is won before the final ball”. He added that the reality format offered a similar level of uncertainty, with contestants having to decide when to take risks and when to hold back.
Rise And Fall season 2 contestants face power struggle
The format centres on 15 celebrity contestants divided into two groups: the Rulers and the Workers. The Rulers stay in a penthouse while the Workers live in a basement, creating a sharp divide between those with greater privileges and those at the bottom of the hierarchy.
However, the positions are not fixed. Contestants can move between the two groups as the game progresses, with strategy, alliances and decisions determining who rises and who falls. Money and influence are also central to the competition.
Sehwag's appointment marks his streaming debut as a reality-show host. His experience of reading situations and opponents on the cricket field now translates into a format where contestants must anticipate each other's moves.
The second season follows the show's debut outing and retains its focus on shifting power. UK production company Studio Lambert created the format, and Banijay Asia produces it in India.
Rise and Fall Season 2 will stream for free on Prime Video and the MX Player Android app, which has been refreshed as MX Player by Prime Video. The new season will premiere soon.
