The Society OTT Survival Show Hosted by Munawar Faruqui: Where to watch, episode breakdown & more on the new title
Where to Watch “The Society” on OTT
Streaming under its fresh new title — The Society, Munawar Faruqui’s first hosted OTT survival experiment — it began airing on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium on 21 July 2025 at approximately 10:05 AM IST.
What the 2025 Production Brings
This isn’t a reboot of the Netflix teen‑drama The Society, but an original Indian format where 25 participants enter a 200‑hour endurance duel of stamina, strategy, and social negotiation — all under the roof of a simulated closed vault governed by class tiers (Royals, Regulars, Rags).
Meet the Hosts and the Game
Comedian Munawar Faruqui serves as the main host, joined by influencer Shreya Kalra (“Miss Rule”). Together they moderate challenges, operate the buzzer systems, and deliver dramatic reveals as power shifts among contestants.

Episode List & Durations (Season 1)
As of day 1 and 2 of streaming, Season 1 comprises 4 episodes, each running between 48–55 minutes depending on the format flow. The episode titles and lengths (in brackets) are:
• Episode 1 – Munawar Ki Society (48 min)
• Episode 2 – Society Ki Jungli Billiyaan (52 min)
• Episode 3 – Society Ka Baazaar (51 min)
• Episode 4 – Khushi Ki Eyebrow? (55 min) — featuring the show’s first Bazaar task reveal
Episodes drop roughly daily, so more are expected each morning.
How the Show Is Structured
After the first challenge only 16 of the 25 original contestants make it into the vault; nine get cancelled at the outset. Daily tasks allow players to earn or lose “chips” to shift tiers—from Rags to Regulars or even Royals. A live‑action buzzer determines who is cancelled or promoted in Episode 3.
What the Show Is Inspired By
The narrative aesthetic borrows from Bigg Boss, Lock Upp, and the visual tone of Squid Game (bunk‑beds, vault, uniformed groups). However, unlike Korean drama, The Society has no lethal stakes — instead it emphasizes strategy, psychological pressure, and social mobility.

Why Title “The Society” Fits
In Munawar’s own words:
“The Society isn’t just a game; it’s a mirror to the outside world … power shifts, loyalties break, it’s raw, real, and relentless.”
His personal journey—from long lines to success—mirrors the show’s theme: if you’re not a “star kid” today, you can become one by smart gameplay.
Key Contestants to Look Out For
The Social Class blend includes influencers like Azma Fallah, Gargi K, Anushka Chauhan, Prateik Jain, Noorin Shah, Arohi Khurana, Raunak, Aamir Hussain, and Pranjali Papnai. Azma and Badal started in the “Rags” group and face aggressive challenges to escape the bottom tier.
Viewer Tips & What’s Next
Each episode involves suspense (buzzer, vault breakout, new tasks), evolving social alliances, and behaviour-based promotion or elimination. Watch for power reversals, shifting loyalties, and even “food” stunts that test mental endurance. Since the format spans 200 hours, expect 8–10 episodes in total before the finale.
Final Thoughts on The Society on OTT
The Society redefines OTT reality programming in India — a high-stress social experiment with psychological drama over gore, held together by Munawar’s hosting and a title that reflects the game’s microcosm of real society. Ready to risk everything? Stream it now on JioHotstar via OTTplay — if you survive until the end, title of Asli Baazigar awaits.
