Those looking forward to seeing season 3 of Bigg Boss OTT may have to wait a bit longer. The internet version of Bigg Boss, which premiered in 2021, may not return for a third season this year.
According to Indian Express, Colors TV and Jio Cinema would discontinue the show owing to ‘saturation.’
Bigg Boss OTT 3 is expected to begin streaming on May 15 of this year, according to the latest speculations. However, a source told the publication that this is far from the case.
According to a source, the producers ‘don’t want to get Bigg Boss OTT this year because the show’s viewership is saturated,’ and in order to avoid overexposure, they may skip the show entirely this year.
They also allege that Banijay Asia, Colours TV, and Jio Cinema have not verified the conversations because they are still in the ‘premature stage.’
Another source confirms that Bigg Boss OTT 3 will not air this year, as BiggBoss_Tak on X posted a tweet. Take a look.
It seems there won't be a Bigg Boss OTT 3 happening this year. Stay tuned!
