Initially, there was a flurry of speculation that “Laughter Chefs” would continue its broadcast till the second week of January 2025.

An insider, who chose to remain anonymous, shed light on the situation, stating, “Laughter Chefs season one is all set to air its last episode in October because of the upcoming season of ‘Bigg Boss.’ The channel had initially asked the actors for their availability until January 2025, but a final contract was never signed. Therefore, the extension is off the table, and the final episode will be aired this October.”
