Prime Video has announced that former India cricketer Virender Sehwag will host Season 2 of the reality series “Rise & Fall,” replacing Ashneer Grover. Multiple outlets report that Sehwag’s move brings a cricket personality into a format built around shifting status, with him drawing on parallels between uncertain match conditions and the show’s power dynamics.
The series is based on the British reality show of the same name. Sources also agree the second season features 15 celebrities split into two groups—Rulers and Workers—linked to different living conditions. Contestants can gain or lose power through decisions and alliances, keeping positions unstable throughout the competition. Outlets describe Sehwag emphasizing there are “no easy wins” and that outcomes depend on timing and strategy.
There is limited detail on broader production, but reporting differs on specifics such as the release window. Some outlets say the show has no official release date yet, while another report places a September launch on Prime Video and previews the first four contestants. Another outlet highlights Raj Grover joining the cast as a digital creator making a reality TV debut.
