Karan Johar is returning with the freshest season of his popular chat show, Koffee With Karan. The 8th season will be premiering on Disney+ Hotstar from October 26. The date was announced with a hilarious promo featuring the filmmaker, who took a dig at himself for delivering a 'meh' season 7 of the juicy and spicy chat show.

Through the promo, Karan indicated that Koffee With Karan 8 will be edgier, crazier and candid, leading to a whole lot of revelations. The video begins with the filmmaker's 'Konscience' trolling him for 'cheese jokes with nepo babies'. The alter ego of Karan further took a dig at him for asking young actors to spill some beans on their sexual lives.

However, Karan promised to bring the newest married couple on the couch for a spicier and more candid conversation. Instead of 'star kids', the season might mark debuts of 'star grand kids'.

Sharing the promo, Karan wrote on Instagram, "Turns out, my own Konscience wants to troll me too! But screw what he thinks, I'm still brewing Season 8! #HotstarSpecials #KoffeeWithKaran Season 8 - streams from 26th October only on @disneyplushotstar!"

In a statement, Gaurav Banerjee, Head - Content, Disney+ Hotstar & HSM Entertainment Network, Disney Star said, "Koffee with Karan S7 received a phenomenal response last year on Disney+ Hotstar. It is an iconic show and has been an audience favorite since its inception. With season 8 of Koffee with Karan, we aim to build and engage with this fandom twice as much. It's exciting to collaborate with the ace producer-director Karan Johar yet again and take the content of this season to a larger audience."

Director and show anchor, Karan Johar said, "We all know you have been eagerly awaiting for the new season of Koffee with Karan - and your wishes have been heard! After the overwhelming response and alot of conjectures from season 7, this season let's make my friends and your favourite celebrities spill their secrets along with the no filter conversations on the infamous Koffee couch. Coming back to Disney+ Hotstar, the new season of Koffee with Karan will be full of uninhibited chats, competitive rapid fires and a lot of conversations, which we all love! So why wait? Let's brew Koffee with Karan Season 8."
