Samay Raina's India's Got Latent returned for a second season on June 21, and the first episode has already drawn a massive audience on YouTube while performing more modestly on Netflix. The episode, released simultaneously on both platforms for the first time, crossed 45 million views on YouTube by June 25 evening. On Netflix, Tudum data shows 2.2 million views, placing it seventh on the Global Top 10 Non-English Shows chart. Netflix calculates views differently, dividing total hours watched by runtime.
The premiere featured Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as guests, promoting their upcoming YRF film Alpha. Both actresses matched the show's chaotic energy, roasting Raina and engaging with the format. The season follows a weekly release schedule, similar to The Great Indian Kapil Show, which has seen declining viewership over time. For context, the Kapil Show's Season 4 premiere with Priyanka Chopra in December 2025 garnered 1.5 million views, per Ormax Media.
India's Got Latent Season 1, exclusively on YouTube, averaged 20-25 million views per episode before being taken down over controversy. Earlier this year, Raina returned to YouTube with his stand-up special 'Still Alive,' which became the most-watched comedy special globally, crossing 22 million views in 24 hours and reaching 65 million views in two months. The show faced major backlash in 2025 after remarks by Ranveer Allahbadia led to FIRs against Raina and others. After more than a year, Season 2's explosive response suggests audiences missed its raw entertainment.
