Karan Johar Announces Final Season of Koffee With Karan on JioHotstar

After 22 years, eight seasons, and 161 episodes, Karan Johar has announced that the ninth season of Koffee With Karan will be its final chapter. The season is set to premiere on JioHotstar on October 14.

Debuting in 2004, the chat show has featured prominent names from the Indian film industry, discussing relationships, careers, friendships, and life in the public eye. In his announcement, Karan Johar reflected on the journey of the show, acknowledging its controversies, speculation, online reactions, and the audience that continued to tune in.

Speaking about the final season, host and creator Karan Johar said, “There are some journeys you don't plan to end, you simply know, somewhere deep within you, when it is time to let them go. Koffee With Karan has been an extraordinary part of my life. It has given me friendships, memories, moments of complete madness, a lot of love and, yes, its fair share of controversy! But through all of it, what has remained constant is the audience. They have laughed with us, debated us, trolled us, celebrated us and, most importantly, kept coming back for another cup. Saying goodbye is emotional, but it also feels right. This final season is my way of raising the mug one last time with gratitude, with love and with everyone who has made Koffee With Karan what it is. So, come have one last cup of Koffee with me. One last time.”

Alok Jain, Head – Hindi & English Entertainment Business (Streaming, TV & Studios) at JioStar, stated, “Koffee With Karan is the talk show that brought the biggest celebrities into viewers’ living rooms and built a fandom that very few shows have matched. For over two decades, it has given audiences an intimate, irreverent and often unexpected glimpse into the lives of the people they love watching, becoming a part of pop culture phenomenon. As Karan raises the coffee mug one last time, we celebrate the extraordinary legacy of a show that has consistently delivered great content and created a lasting connection with audiences. At JioHotstar, we remain committed to bringing audiences the very best in entertainment, and we are delighted to bring this final chapter of Koffee With Karan to them.”

Throughout its run, the show has been known for segments like rapid-fire rounds and coffee hampers, as well as conversations and exchanges that generated widespread discussion beyond the episodes.
