The makers of CID 2 are reportedly planning to take the show down due to low TRP issues. Meanwhile, the upcoming season of Amitabh Bachchan's KBC17 may replace the show
CID 2 to be replaces by KBC 17?
After enjoying a long run on television, the crime investigation show, CID 2, headlined by Shivaji Satam, marked its return. The original show, which ran for 20 years, ended in 2018. The makers later brought the show back for a second season started last year, amid much buzz and nostalgia among the fans. However, within just one year of launch, reports now suggest that the makers are planning to axe the show due to an underwhelming response.
CID 2 going off air?
According to a report in Bollywood Life, CID might be pulled off air since it is unable to generate the required TRPs. The show brought in a number of plot twists ever since its launch in 2024; however, it looks like nothing is working in their favour.
According to a Filmibeat report, sources told them, "Despite initial promise and buzz, the crime thriller has failed to strike a connection with the audience. The initial nostalgia seems to have faded out as the numbers have dropped significantly since the first episode in December. The channel and the production house have attempted all measures to spice up the viewership. Parth Samthaan's entry didn't fetch many numbers for the show."

The source added, "While Shivaji Satam's exit and ACP Pradyuman's death mystery created buzz on social media, the numbers didn't witness a significant rise. Sony Entertainment Television is not pleased with the ratings of the show, and is thinking of ending CID 2 at the right time. Although the production house has not received any notice from the channel, there has been internal discussion about axing CID season 2 due to low TRPs."
Meanwhile, with Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 premiering soon, there are chances that CID 2 may be taken down after the KBC 17 commences.
Is it true?
The same report suggests that when the portal contacted a reliable source from the channel, they were told that CID season 2 is not ending. "Contrary to the rumours floating on the internet, CID 2 is not ending. Yes, it is under the scanner, but the channel is monitoring the TRPs and has not taken any decision about the show's future. ACP Pradyuman and his team will continue to entertain the audience as the show has a contract for one year."
It remains to be seen what the fate of show turns out to be in the coming days. It must be noted that reports also claim that CID 2 is doing well on the OTT platform SonyLIV.
