The Peacock Hub and JioHotstar Partner for Final Season of Koffee With Karan

JioHotstar has announced a collaboration with The Peacock Hub for the ninth and final season of Koffee With Karan, which premieres on October 14, 2026. This partnership marks the first time NBCUniversal and JioHotstar have joined hands to support an Indian-produced show.

NBCUniversal and JioHotstar, formerly known as JioCinema, launched The Peacock Hub in India in 2023. Until now, the platform's presence in India has focused on content distribution and acquisition. With this partnership, the platform is expanding its role by supporting a locally produced Indian original for the first time.

Alok Jain, Head - Hindi & English Entertainment Business (Streaming, TV & Studios) at JioStar, stated that this is a significant moment for Indian IP and highlights that Indian properties can collaborate on a global stage.

Host Karan Johar reflected on the milestone, noting that having The Peacock Hub collaborate on the show for the first time in India is humbling.

Chris Taylor, Managing Director, APAC, NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution and International Networks & DTC, highlighted that the collaboration builds on The Peacock Hub's offering of U.S. and U.K. content and represents an expansion into locally produced programming.

Hosted by Karan Johar, Season 9 of Koffee With Karan will premiere on October 14, 2026, on The Peacock Hub on JioHotstar. The final season features a refreshed format and a guest lineup, bringing the show to a close after a 22-year run.
