About The 50

Produced by Banijay Asia, The 50 is India’s upcoming large-scale reality show. Streaming soon on JioHotstar and Colors, The 50 promises a bold new format set to disrupt the Indian reality TV playbook. The upcoming JioHotstar show, adapted from the popular French series Les Cinquante, features 50 contestants in a lavish palace setting with no fixed rules, allowing for unpredictable drama, strategy, and politics.

With 50 celebrities locked in for nearly 50 episodes, no kitchen to hide behind, and viewers playing an active role in deciding outcomes, The 50 is clearly aiming to rewrite the usual reality TV playbook. Whether that gamble pays off is something audiences will soon find out.
