Crime Patrol returns with second season on Sony
Mumbai: Sony Entertainment Television (SET) is coming up with the second season of its longest running crime docu-drama “Crime Patrol.” Starting 7 March, “Crime Patrol 2.0” will air every Monday to Friday at 10 p.m.
Shot in real locations across India, “Crime Patrol 2.0” will revolve around the lives of the men in uniform who protect the city from gruesome crime every day. While bringing forth impactful crime stories, the show will also give a glimpse into the personal lives of the police officers, their camaraderie, and how these cases leave a lasting impression on them, said the channel in a statement.
Using the point of view of the cops, it will make the viewers understand the anatomy of a crime by highlighting some unseen facets of investigation, the usage of new-age tools, as well as the chase replete with the anticipation, pressure and drive to find an answer, it added.
MUMBAI: Lights, camera… connection because this time, the game isn’t just about winning, it’s about who’s with you. Sony Pictures Networks India is gearing up to launch a new reality game show, Tum Ho Naa, expanding its unscripted slate with a format that promises both emotion and engagement.
The show will premiere soon on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV, with Rajeev Khandelwal stepping in as host. Known for his measured screen presence and selective choices, Khandelwal’s return to television adds a layer of familiarity and credibility to the upcoming format.
While specific details of the gameplay remain under wraps, the positioning suggests a reality format that leans as much on emotional resonance as it does on competition, an increasingly popular blend in Indian television, where audiences are gravitating towards content that offers both stakes and storytelling.
Khandelwal, reflecting on his return, noted that his choices have often been guided by instinct rather than convention, describing Tum Ho Naa as a project that feels “close to the heart”. His association also signals Sony’s continued focus on anchoring new formats with recognisable faces who bring both relatability and depth.
The launch comes at a time when broadcasters are doubling down on original non-fiction formats to drive appointment viewing, even as digital platforms expand parallel reach. By placing the show across both linear television and OTT, Sony appears to be aiming for a dual-audience strategy capturing traditional viewers while engaging digital-first consumers.
As the countdown to premiere begins, Tum Ho Naa positions itself not just as another game show, but as a reminder that sometimes, the biggest prize on screen isn’t the jackpot, it’s the journey shared along the way.
