The quiet return of older clips has reignited interest, with fans urging Raina to release new episodes of the once-popular series.
After a four-month hiatus triggered by controversy, popular stand-up comic Samay Raina has quietly brought back his hit YouTube comedy series, India’s Got Latent. Though not on the original channel, several older episodes have resurfaced on a different platform, reigniting fan engagement and stirring speculation about the show's potential comeback.
India’s Got Latent, a humorous talent-spotting comedy show, had gained a strong following for its offbeat, unscripted format and participation by prominent Indian comedians. However, in early 2025, the series was abruptly taken offline following a storm of backlash over a controversial comment made by guest Ranveer Allahbadia. The remark, which targeted a contestant’s family, triggered widespread outrage and led to multiple FIRs against Ranveer, Samay Raina, and fellow creators Apoorva Mukhija and Ashish Chanchlani.
Despite the storm, the recent quiet return of archived clips has energized loyal viewers. Many fans have taken to social media urging Samay to drop fresh episodes and revive the show, which had become a cult favorite in India’s growing stand-up and YouTube comedy scene. While Raina has not confirmed any new releases yet, the show’s reappearance hints at a potential reset — or even a rebranding — of India’s Got Latent.
As the Indian comedy space on YouTube continues to thrive, this development could signal a comeback not just for the show, but also for bold, creator-driven content navigating the fine line between edgy humor and public scrutiny. The revived channel, now public, hosts over 500 clips from both public and members-only episodes, with 522 videos and 493K subscribers.
