Naagin, one of Indian television’s most popular supernatural franchises, is gearing up for its seventh season with Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary in the lead role. While fans were eagerly awaiting the show’s premiere in November 2025, new reports suggest that producer Ektaa Kapoor and her team have decided to push the release to December 2025. According to Telly Express, the postponement comes as the team is fine-tuning the opening week’s episodes to ensure a flawless start. Additionally, Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Salman Khan, is currently dominating TRP charts, and the makers want to avoid clashing with the reality show’s peak viewership.
If the fresh updates hold true, Naagin 7 will launch after the finale of Bigg Boss 19, which airs on December 7, 2025. The supernatural drama is now expected to premiere on December 13, 2025. The creators are reportedly planning an extensive week-long promotional campaign to build anticipation for the new season.
For Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary, stepping into the iconic role is both a dream fulfilled and a significant responsibility. Reflecting on her journey, she recalled the moment during Bigg Boss 16 when Ektaa Kapoor announced she had found her next Naagin. “To have her keep that promise and choose me for this legacy is truly an honour,” Priyanka said.
She added that certain roles demand immense strength, range, and spirit, and leading the Naagin universe is one such challenge. Being unveiled as the new Naagin in front of Salman Khan and millions of viewers felt like “destiny’s plan,” she shared. Expressing gratitude to Colors and Balaji Telefilms, she promised to uphold the legacy with what she playfully called “pure serpentainment.”
Since its inception in 2015, the Naagin franchise has become a landmark series for Indian television, elevating the careers of stars like Mouni Roy, Adaa Khan, and Tejasswi Prakash. As the show marks its tenth year, Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary’s entry signals a fresh chapter for the beloved supernatural saga.
