Bigg Boss Telugu has created a separate space for itself in Telugu TV. People just can’t get enough of it week after week. It’s a combination of wild drama, unexpected twists and do-or-die tasks that keeps the audience riveted to their TV sets. Then there are the emotional exits, the ones no one sees coming, the alliances that fall apart in the blink of an eye. It’s no wonder the hype for Season 10 took off the moment news broke about its 2026 launch.
People didn’t just talk—they waited, speculated, and tossed around rumors about who would step into the house this time. Everyone hoped to see not only new faces but also twists bold enough to shake up what they thought they knew about the game.
Season 10 kicked things off with a bang on September 6, 2026, at 7:00 PM IST. If you missed the TV broadcast on Star Maa, you could still catch all the drama on JioHotstar—meaning fans didn’t have to worry about missing a single meltdown or confrontation, no matter where they were. And yes, Nagarjuna Akkineni is once again steering the ship as the host. At this point, he isn’t just the face of Bigg Boss Telugu—he’s practically the heart of it. His weekend “chats” with the contestants are legendary for a reason; he asks the tough questions and knows exactly when to turn up the heat or cool things down.
What’s different this time? Season 10 is embracing a Dashavataram theme. You can expect the tasks to draw inspiration from that mythological concept, which brings new energy and challenges into the game. It’s not just a visual change, either—contestants have to rethink strategies and adapt fast, because the rules of the house are always shifting.

As for the episode schedule, the show sticks with its tried-and-true format—weekdays at 9:30 PM IST and weekends nudging slightly earlier at 9:00 PM IST. The weekday episodes give you the daily grind and all the behind-the-scenes plotting, but those weekend installments? That’s where Nagarjuna steps in to stir up the pot—sometimes with a pep talk, sometimes with a surprise eviction. Schedules can sometimes change, though, so die-hard fans know to keep checking Star Maa and JioHotstar for the latest times.
What really sets this season apart is the extra layer of competition. Alongside familiar celebrity housemates, you’ve got Bigg Boss Agnipariksha—a digital pre-show that throws real people, not just stars, into the mix. For them, it’s a golden ticket to the main house, and for the audience, it’s a reminder that literally anyone could end up in that spotlight—if they’re gutsy enough to survive the first round.
All in all, Season 10 is turning out to be more than just another chapter. With dynamic new tasks, a theme that shakes up the old formula, and plenty of smart, strategic play, it’s shaping up to be a must-watch. Nagarjuna’s back, the stakes look higher, and the Bigg Boss house is as unpredictable as ever. If you love a little chaos with your reality TV, tune in to Star Maa or JioHotstar and get ready for all the twists still to come.
