New Delhi: After keeping audiences hooked with its high-stakes power play in Season 1, Prime Video today unveiled the first glimpse of Rise and Fall Season 2. Stepping into Ashneer Grover’s shoes, this season’s ‘Sultan of Multan’, Virender Sehwag, will be taking over the reins as the host. Sehwag makes his streaming debut, bringing his larger-than-life personality to a game where fortunes can turn faster than the scorecard.
Making his foray into hosting a reality show on a streaming service, Virender Sehwag said, “Cricket has taught me one thing—no match is won before the final ball, and Rise and Fall Season 2 takes that unpredictability to another level. Season 2 brings a fresh set of personalities into a format where power is always in motion, and every decision carries a consequence. We’re excited for audiences to experience the drama, strategy and entertainment in Rise and Fall Season 2, and watch it on Prime Video for free.”
A post shared by MX Player by Prime Video (@mxbyprimevideo) Speaking about the new season, Amogh Dusad, Director and Head of AVOD Content, Prime Video India, said, “The love and excitement audiences showed for Rise and Fall in its first season gave us the perfect reason to take this unique power game forward. As a host, what excites me about this game is that there are no easy wins and no fixed positions. The biggest challenge isn’t just getting to the top but knowing how to stay there. You have to know when to attack, when to defend, and, most importantly, when to read the game before it reads you. With money, strategy, and shifting equations in play, there’s no room for complacency. I’m looking forward to watching the contestants navigate the game, take risks, make alliances and show what they’re really made of. With Virender Sehwag stepping in as host, we’re bringing a whole new energy to the show; his wit, spontaneity, and fearless personality make him an exciting fit for the game.
With Season 2, we are taking that experience one step ahead with a new mix of personalities, fresh dynamics and even higher stakes, where every decision can change the course of the game. Rise and Fall Season 2, the MX Original produced by Banijay Asia, and was originally created by Studio Lambert in the UK.
Deepak Dhar, Founder and Group CEO of Banijay Asia said, “The overwhelming response that Rise and Fall received in its debut season reaffirmed the strength of its unique premise, where power, strategy and human behaviour come together to create an unpredictable game. We are delighted to collaborate with Prime Video and look forward to bringing audiences a season filled with unexpected turns, strategic gameplay and moments that keep them invested till the very end. The new season will soon stream on Prime Video and the MX Player Android app.
