Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 is finally coming to an end after months of drama, emotional highs, and constant surprises. Fans are very excited, so here's everything you need to know about when and where to watch the last episode.

When and where to see the big finish

Colors Kannada will show the last episode of Bigg Boss Kannada 12 on January 18, 2026, starting at 6 PM. Kichcha Sudeepa, a well-known actor who has been the face of the show since it started, will host the finale.

Fans who like digital platforms can also watch the finale live on JioHotstar, where they can see the action as it happens.

A look back at Season 12 of Bigg Boss Kannada

On September 28, 2025, the twelfth season of the reality show began, and Sudeepa was once again in charge as host. At the start of this season, there was an interesting twist: contestants could enter the house as individuals or in pairs. This added a new element to the gameplay.

There were a lot of different contestants on the show this season, such as RJ Amith, Ashwini Gowda, Spandana, Malu Nipanal, Rakshitha Shetty, Ashwini Lakshmi, Dhruvanth Talwar, LM Karibasappa, Mallamma, Abhishek Shrikanth, Manju Bhashini, Rashika Shetty, Chandraprabha, Dhanush Gowda, Janhvi, Gilli Nata, Satish, Kavya Shaiva, and "Cockroach" Sudhi, to name a few.

Finalists and important events

After 15 weeks of tasks, fights, friendships, and arguments, the competition has come down to six finalists: Ashwini Gowda, Gilli Nata, Rakshitha Shetty, Dhanush Gowda, Mutant Raghu, and Kavya Shaiva are all names you should know.

The show was briefly put on hold on October 8, 2025, which caused contestants to leave the house for a short time. This was one of the most talked-about events of the season. The show, on the other hand, started up again the next day, with all of the contestants coming back and the competition going on as planned.

What's at stake?

The person who wins Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 will get the Bigg Boss trophy and Rs 50 lakh in cash. As always, the audience votes will decide the winner, so fan support is very important in the last few weeks.
