MTV India to air second ‘Osbournes’ season
MUMBAI: MTV fans in India will see the second season of the Emmy-award winning reality sitcom The Osbournes, sometime in late November or early December.
In the US, the new season of The Osbournes will premiere on 26 November at 10:30 pm ET/PT immediately following MTV’s The Real World: Las Vegas. The new season will continue where season one left off, documenting with the utmost candor the real-life drama of America’s favorite rock ‘n roll family.
Becoming a cultural touchstone last spring, earning MTV some of its highest ratings ever, the appeal of The Osbournes lay in its irony as much as its surreality. And the second season finds Rock’s First Family coping with fame, fortune, and tragedy. MTV’s cameras follow the Osbournes as they deal with Kelly’s burgeoning singing career, the acquisition of numerous dogs, a trip to Washington to dine with the US president, Ozzy’s hectic touring regimen, and ultimately, news that will change all of their lives forever.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the channel also said that while MTV was in discussions for a live concert with national broadcaster Doordarshan scheduled to take place in December, nothing had been finalised as yet
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
