Alliance trailer out: Kunal Kemmu hosts a daily reality show where loyalty is a trap and only one contestant survives
Trust someone too much in Alliance and they will use it against you. Trust no one and you will not last long either. That is exactly the kind of impossible situation Prime Video is serving up.
Prime Video released the official trailer for Alliance on Tuesday. The upcoming Hindi-language reality series is set to premiere on June 26. Actor Kunal Kemmu will host the show, marking his first time fronting a reality competition.
Alliance is produced by Banijay Asia and features a mix of strategy, deception, and shifting loyalties. Alliances are formed, broken, and tested across the run of the series.

The series is set inside a high-tech underground facility. The setting blends luxury with intense competition. All 16 contestants enter as pairs and must face physical challenges, knowledge-based games, secret missions, and manipulative tactics.
The game is controlled by something called “The System,” which dictates twists, challenges, and key decisions. Alliances will change regularly. Eliminations and new entries are expected to keep contestants on edge throughout the season. At the end, only one contestant will walk away as the winner.
Alliance will be Prime Video’s first-ever daily series globally. Fresh episodes will drop every day at 12 noon.
The show will stream across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, starting June 26. It spans 42 episodes across six weeks.
Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals at Prime Video India, called it a first-of-its-kind format for Indian audiences. He said the show would combine strategy, shifting loyalties, and constantly evolving gameplay, with the aim of keeping audiences engaged every single day.
Kunal Kemmu on hosting
This is Kemmu’s first time hosting a reality show. He has previously worked across comedy, thrillers, and drama as an actor.
Speaking about the experience, Kemmu said the show tests contestants in ways that go beyond physical challenges. He described it as being about navigating relationships, making tough choices, and adapting when the game changes around you.
He said partnering with Prime Video on a format this ambitious has been special, and that he is excited for audiences to experience the high-stakes game of trust, power, and survival.
Meet the contestants
Alliance brings together eight pairs of well-known personalities. The confirmed pairs are Ravi Kishan and Riva Kishan, Kushal Tandon and Arsalan Goni, Zaid Darbar and Daisy Shah, Mini Mathur and Nikhil Chinapa, Niti Taylor and Ruhee Dosani, Vanshaj Singh and Dolly Javed, Payal Dhare and Sabby Suri, and Delbar Arya and Armaan Khera.
Contestants entered the game in pairs based on existing bonds, including friendships, family ties, and personal connections. However, these alliances are not expected to stay intact for long, as the format constantly reshuffles dynamics and forces contestants to rethink their strategies.
The father-daughter pair of Ravi Kishan and Riva Kishan is among the more notable duos. Ravi Kishan is a veteran actor with work across Hindi, Bhojpuri, and regional cinema, while Riva is an actor, model, and digital personality.
