Filmmaker Karan Johar's reality series The Traitors is returning with Season 2, and the makers have already confirmed its release date and first two contestants. The announcement was made through a new promo shared by Karan Johar on Instagram.

In the video, he looked back at the betrayals from the first season, teased a bigger game ahead and revealed that 21 players will compete this time. He also described the line-up as "killer".

In the promo, Karan said, "Ek saal beet gaya, par kuch dhokhe abhi bhi utne



hi taaze hain (A year has passed, yet some betrayals remain just as fresh)" and added that some betrayals were so iconic that they belonged in a museum of The Traitors. He also took a dig at Ashish Vidyarthi, who was often seen sleeping during Season 1.

The promo included clips of Uorfi Javed and Apoorva Mukhija, with Karan joking that "friendship was temporary, but kalesh (strife) was permanent". Purav Jha, Uorfi and Elnaaz Norouzi also appeared in the video, prompting him to quip, "They all have PTSD, Post Traitor Stress Disorder."
