The 50 Reality Show Release Date

‘The 50’ is scheduled to hit the TV screens on February 1, 2026. The streaming will take place on JioHotstar. As the date is approaching fast, it is expected that more contestants' names will be announced by the team.

The 50 Reality Show Format Explained

This is an Indian version of a global concept that features 50 celebrities competing together in one place, including a giant, castle-like setting in Mumbai. The series is strategic, social, and survival-centric, and not purely elimination-based. Contestants need to build a network of allies, read the situation, and cleverly outplay their competitors.

Unlike other reality shows, 'The 50' is not based on a linear elimination sequence, thus making every episode unpredictable with a focus on mind games rather than mere tasks.
