Crime Patrol: One of Indian television’s longest-running franchises is back, and this time it comes with genuine star power. Sony Entertainment Television has confirmed that Crime Patrol – Crime Ka Current Season premieres August 31, 2026, marking Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn’s first-ever foray into television hosting.
A Familiar Show, A New Voice
Devgn steps into a role long associated with Anup Soni, though reports clarify he’ll feature as a special host rather than a permanent replacement. Sony has already confirmed 15 episodes have been shot, with Devgn’s commanding on-screen presence and narration built around guiding viewers through stories inspired by real crime cases that have shaken the nation.

Rather than leaning purely on fear, Devgn’s narration promises to serve as a guide encouraging viewers to stay alert and cautious, particularly around how social media and modern digital culture increasingly influence human behaviour. “Coming together with a show like Crime Patrol feels like a responsibility to my fans and viewers,” Devgn said, describing the franchise’s legacy of building awareness among audiences.
Why It Matters
With its new late-night slot right after India’s biggest game show, Sony is clearly betting on Devgn’s star power to give this long-running franchise fresh relevance for a new generation of viewers. Full show updates are available on SonyLIV’s official website.
