Bigg Boss is officially back for its 19th season, and this time it’s making history. After weeks of speculation about whether the popular reality show would return in 2025, fresh reports confirm that the Salman Khan-hosted juggernaut will not only be returning to television—it will also become the longest-running season in the franchise’s history.

Despite concerns over a possible cancellation, Bigg Boss 19 is now confirmed to air later this year with Salman Khan once again anchoring the show. The superstar, who has become synonymous with Bigg Boss through his iconic Weekend Ka Vaar segments and sharp commentary, will host the show for the 16th time. His return has already sparked a wave of excitement across social media.

According to a report from Pinkvilla, the upcoming season will run for a record-breaking 5.5 months, a significant leap from its usual three-month format. This extended timeline is designed to offer more complex narratives, unexpected twists, and enhanced viewer engagement. With deeper character development and prolonged drama, fans can expect even more of the unpredictable entertainment that has defined Bigg Boss over the years.

While the contestant lineup is still under wraps, the show is expected to continue its trend of introducing fresh faces to keep the dynamics unpredictable and engaging. True to its legacy, Bigg Boss 19 is poised to deliver an explosive mix of drama, rivalry, and reality TV spectacle.

In a notable shift, however, the Bigg Boss OTT version, which ran for two seasons on JioCinema, will not return in 2025. The digital-only format has been shelved for the time being, though it remains unclear whether this is a permanent cancellation or a strategic pause.
