Filmmaker Karan Johar is renowned for hosting his talk show, *Koffee with Karan*. Fans have long been eagerly awaiting the next season of the show. On Wednesday, the makers announced the ninth season via a promo. However, this is not merely a promo; it also carries an emotional message from Karan.

What did Karan say in the video?
While announcing *Koffee with Karan 9*, Karan Johar reflected on his 22-year-long journey. He said, "I started *Koffee with Karan* in 2004. I remember sharing the idea for this chat show with my father. He asked, 'You meet and talk to four friends every day anyway, so why do you need to start a talk show?' Just a few days later, I lost my father. It was after that that I launched the show."

Karan revisits cherished memories
Further in the video, Karan said, "A lot has changed over eight seasons and 161 episodes. Lovers appeared on the show who later became ex-lovers. Some relationships endured, and friends joined alongside families. Countless conversations on the show turned into headlines, memes, debates, and unforgettable memories. There are some journeys you don't plan to end; deep down, you simply know when it is time to let go. *Koffee with Karan* has been a very special part of my life. It has given me friends, memories, moments of pure fun, immense love, and yes, some controversies too. But now, this is the final season of the show."

The final cup of the season
In the promo video, Karan Johar made a major revelation to the fans, stating, "Amidst all this, the one thing that has always remained constant is the audience." "They laughed with us, argued with us, trolled us, appreciated us, and most importantly, kept coming back for another cup. Saying goodbye is emotional, but it also feels right. This final season is my way of raising a mug one last time—with gratitude and love—to everyone who has made 'Koffee with Karan' what it is today. So, join me for one last cup of coffee. One last time."

When will 'Koffee with Karan' be released?
'Koffee with Karan' Season 9 is set to release soon on an OTT platform. The show is scheduled to premiere on the OTT platform Jio Hotstar on October 14, 2026. There is speculation that Alia Bhatt and her sister Shaheen Bhatt might appear together in the season's first episode.
