When and where to watch Bigg Boss Tamil 9
Streaming platform JioHotstar Tamil made the official announcement on social media, revealing that the grand launch will take place on October 5. Sharing the news with a cryptic caption, they wrote, “பாக்க பாக்க தான் புரியும்… போக போக தான் தெரியும் (You will understand when you see it)… Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9 | Grand Launch – அக்டோபர் 5 முதல் (From October 5).”
The promotional poster features Vijay Sethupathi smiling with his arms stretched wide against a diamond-patterned glass backdrop — a design element that hints at the possible theme of the upcoming season. Alongside JioHotstar, the reality show will also air on Vijay Television, though the telecast timings are yet to be revealed.
About Bigg Boss Tamil
Bigg Boss Tamil first premiered in 2017 with Kamal Haasan as its iconic host. The veteran actor helmed the reality series for seven seasons before stepping away in 2024. Vijay Sethupathi took over the mantle in Season 8, marking a new chapter for the show.
Over the years, winners of the Tamil edition have included Arav, Riythvika, Mugen Rao, Aari Arjunan, Raju Jeyamohan, Mohammed Azeem, Archana Ravichandran and Muthukumaran Jegatheesan.
