Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 to premiere in September?

Bigg Boss Malayalam fans are eagerly awaiting an update from the makers of the new season. The superstar Mohanlal-hosted show is round the corner, and fans have now got their first hint about it.


The social media buzz kickstarted after the makers shared a poster online inviting applications for various crew positions. The post mentioned openings for producers, creative writers, and other production-related roles, immediately catching the attention of fans. Soon after the post was shared, discussions about the possible launch date also began online. Though there are speculations that the show might launch in August, our sources in the industry hint that viewers may have to wait a little longer, as the show is expected to premiere only in September.


According to industry insiders, the channel airing the show is presently focused on wrapping up the latest season of Star Singer, which is nearing its grand finale. The reality singing competition has been one of the major weekend attractions for the channel and is expected to continue for at least two more months. Notably, Star Singer previously had a break in the season due to the launch of Bigg Boss Malayalam 7, after which the show resumed once Bigg Boss concluded.


Along with Star Singer, the channel has also recently launched the comedy-cookery reality show Comedy Cooks, which has already started gaining audience attention. Sources indicate that the show is expected to continue for at least another two months. Since two reality shows are already occupying the slot, viewers may have to wait a little longer for Bigg Boss Malayalam to return.


However, there is another happy update for viewers to rejoice over, as host Mohanlal had earlier confirmed that he would be returning to host the show this season as well. During an event, the actor shared that he had renewed his contract with the makers for another three years.


Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 concluded after declaring TV actress Anumol as the winner. While Aneesh emerged as the runner-up, the third place was secured by Nevin.
