Cinema VinesColors TV and JioHotstar will launch the thirteenth season of the high‑octane stunt reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi on 1 August 2026, airing every Saturday and Sunday at 9 p.m. The new edition, branded “Darr Ka Naya Daur,” promises even more daring challenges, heart‑stopping obstacles and a fresh dose of adrenaline‑filled action.
Hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty, the season will take contestants to the dramatic landscapes of Cape Town, South Africa. Shetty’s presence on the show has already been a draw, but this year he is joined by a surprise guest who brings a different kind of fear to the set: former South African fast bowler Morné Morkel.
Morkel, known for his towering height and lethal pace that has rattled world‑class batsmen, will make his television debut on the show. The ex‑international bowler, who also serves as the bowling coach for the Indian cricket team, will challenge contestants to catch a ball delivered at his signature speed. “For years I challenged the world’s best batsmen with my pace. Now I’m bringing that same intensity as the new face of fear on Khatron Ke Khiladi,” Morkel told reporters. “Working with Rohit Shetty right here in my home country has been an incredible experience.”
The lineup of celebrity participants includes Gaurav Khanna, Avinash Mishra, Farrhana Bhatt, Shagun Sharma, Avika Gor, Orhan Awatramani (Orry), Harsh Gujral, Jasmin Bhasin, Rubina Dilaik, Karan Wahi, Rithvik Dhanjani, Ruhaanika Dhawan and Vishal Aditya Singh. Early reports suggest the competition is heating up, with Farrhana Bhatt and Karan Wahi already standing out as strong contenders, while Mishra, Dhawan and Dhanjani are rumored to be in the top five.
With a mix of physical endurance tests, nerve‑wracking stunts and unexpected twists, Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 aims to deliver a season that is bigger and more thrilling than ever before. Fans can tune in on Colors TV and stream the episodes on JioHotstar every weekend at 9 p.m. to witness the celebrities confront Morkel’s fearsome pace and the show’s new, terrifying challenges.
