Scam 2010 first look out; Sony LIV premiere set for January 2027

The Scam franchise has a new chapter lined up. Hansal Mehta has shared the first look of Scam 2010, with Siddharth Bodke leading the series and a Sony LIV premiere set for January 2027.

A new decade, a new central figure

The latest series follows Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, which released in 2020 and drew wide audience praise. That chapter turned the Scam name into one of India’s biggest streaming properties. Mehta, who directed Scam 1992, is back in the Scam universe to tell the next story.

• What: First look of Scam 2010 unveiled.
• Who: Hansal Mehta directs; Siddharth Bodke leads.
• Where: Sony LIV, exclusively.
• When: January 2027.

The confirmed landing point is January 2027, with Sony LIV as the exclusive streaming home. For viewers, that means the franchise is returning on a clear timeline, not staying in development limbo.

Inside Siddharth Bodke’s preparation

As reported in Bollywood Hungama, Bodke calls the lead role one of the toughest of his career. He said the most interesting part for him was understanding the man behind the image. The public may know the larger-than-life personality, but Bodke wanted to explore who the person really was, what drove him, and why he made the choices he did.

Bodke added that he has lived with the character for a long time, and the process taught him a lot as an actor and as a person. He described working with Mehta as an incredible learning experience and a lot of fun.

Why this chapter is being watched closely

The original series earned wide audience praise in 2020 and helped define what a prestige Indian web series could look like. That creates a specific pressure for the new instalment: it has to feel fresh while staying true to the franchise’s investigative, character-first approach.

Bodke acknowledged that weight. He said the Scam series has a strong legacy, and being trusted to take that forward is a huge responsibility. He also said he is genuinely excited for people to finally see what they have created.

What to do until January 2027

There is time before the premiere, so the practical move for viewers is to revisit Scam 1992 if they have not seen it, or rewatch it to refresh the tone. Keep an eye on Sony LIV for teaser drops and further casting updates as the launch nears.

For now, the takeaway is simple: the Scam universe is expanding on its own timeline, with a new decade, a new lead and the same director who made the original a phenomenon.
