From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The second season of the Indian reality talent-comedy web television series India's Got Latent was created, produced, and hosted by Indian stand-up comedian and internet personality Samay Raina.

It premiered in June 2026 via a unique dual-platform simulcast on both Netflix and YouTube.[1][2][3][4] New episodes were released every two weeks on both platforms.[5]

The show features aspiring performers showcasing eccentric, bizarre, and unfiltered "latent" talents. These acts are humorously critiqued by Raina alongside a rotating panel of prominent Indian comedians, internet creators, and Bollywood celebrities.[6]
Format
The show's core mechanics remain the same, but performed on a larger scale. Contestants perform an unconventional skill. Before each performance, contestants have to rate themselves. If the average rating given by the judge panel after the performance matches the contestant's self-rating, the contestant wins. The humor comes from the creators', contestants', and celebrity guest panel's blunt evaluations, deadpan delivery, and comedic banter.[7]
