final cup of coffee. The filmmaker-host is returning with Season 9 of the popular chat show, which will bring his long-running journey with Bollywood celebrities to a close. With Salman Khan set to kick off the farewell season, here’s everything you need to know about the premiere date, streaming platform, and what to expect from the final chapter.
When and where to watch Koffee With Karan Season 9?
The ninth season of Koffee With Karan will premiere on October 14, 2026, at 7 PM IST on JioHotstar, marking the beginning of the chat show’s final outing. Salman Khan will take the famous couch for the opening episode, returning to the show after years. As Karan Johar prepares to bring the much-loved celebrity series to an end, the farewell season promises a trip down memory lane, with candid conversations, personal revelations and the witty banter that has kept viewers hooked over the years.
Salman Khan will be appearing solo on the celebrity chat show. His association with the series goes back several seasons. In Season 4, he appeared alongside his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan. He later joined his brothers, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, for the show’s landmark 100th episode in Season 5. The first promo, released on October 12, offers a glimpse of Salman’s return to KJo’s iconic couch. Making his entry on the familiar set, the actor announces, “I am coming on Koffee With Karan,” setting the stage for another round of banter between the two.
Karan wastes no time reminding Salman that this is the show’s last season, hinting that the conversation could take an unexpected turn. “This is the finale season, so this can go anywhere,” the filmmaker tells him. Salman plays along, replying, “Kahin bhi ja sakta hai (It can go anywhere).”
Another teaser revisits a question that has become synonymous with Salman’s appearances on the chat show. Karan asks the actor, “Are you still a virgin?” Salman responds, “Control, bro,” offering a glimpse of the cheeky exchanges viewers can expect from the episode.
