The second season of the Malayalam-language version of the Indian reality television series Bigg Boss premiered on 5 January 2020. It was produced by Endemol Shine India and broadcast on Asianet. Mohanlal returned as the host. The show follows 22 contestants, who are isolated from the outside world for 105 days (or 15 weeks) in a custom built house. The house was situated at EVP Film City in Chennai, where 17 contestants entered on Day 1 and six joined later as wildcard entries. All housemates were public figures, such as film, television, music, radio, stage, and internet personalities, and models. The winner of the season received a flat worth ₹5 million (₹50 lakh) along with a trophy. The second season introduced an aftershow titled BB Cafe. On 20 March 2020, the show was stopped due to COVID-19.
Production The season two of the Malayalam-language version of Bigg Boss is produced by Endemol Shine India and telecast on Asianet. In September 2019, it was confirmed that Mohanlal will return as the host for the second season as well and Asianet announced that season two would take off soon and asked viewers to suggest contestants to be featured on the show through their social media pages. Season two comes with the tagline: Ini Valiya Kalikalumalla, Kalikal Vere Level (it's no longer just big games, now the games will be on its next level). The newly designed eye logo was unveiled in November 2019, first promo for the show was also relea on that month.
House The House for the first season of Bigg Boss was built at Goregaon Film City, Mumbai. Since season 13 of Hindi Bigg Boss was ongoing at the location, the location has to be shifted to EVP Film City, Chennai, where the first three seasons of Bigg Boss Tamil were filmed. The 6000 square feet House was redesigned in the traditional architectural style of Kerala. Along with all the facilities that were available in the first season, the major new addition was a jail room with an attached toilet for incarcerating housemates who violate the rules of the House. The essential facilities retained from the first season were the dining area, living area, store room, kitchen, two bedrooms with eight beds, washroom, TV, swimming pool, confession room for interacting with Bigg Boss (voice), and smoke room for smokers.
Broadcast The second season is telecast on Asianet, initially from Monday to Friday at 9:30pm IST and at 9:00pm IST on Saturdays and Sundays. From 9 March 2020 onward, the duration was extended and the airing time was changed to 9:00pm on weekdays too. Asianet also airs an aftershow BB Cafe hosted by Rajesh Keshav and Gopika. The show is available for streaming on the over-the-top platform Hotstar. It is aired in two parts—Bigg Boss and Bigg Boss Plus. Hotstar may or may not contain a few bits aired on television at the original airing time. Additionally, the YouTube channel of Asianet also uploads short "UnCut" clips not broadcast on television and Hotstar. The 30-minute BB Cafe Live regularly reads live comments on YouTube and Facebook about each day's episodes.
