On 6 August 2018, Amazon made the announcement and promised that the new season will feature recurring judges  Tanmay Bhat , Biswa Kalyan Rath , Kanan Gill, Kenny Sebastian, Kaneez Surka, Sumukhi Suresh and Abish Mathew. It’s touted to go on-air in 2019. The first season of Comicstaan had a nine-episode deal with Amazon.

The first season of Comicstaan won the hearts of many across the country and broke all records for the most watched Amazon Prime Original series on Prime Video since launch. Our customers’ response to the series is the key factor in our enthusiasm to bring our audience another season – with indeed a fresh dose of laughter, jokes and even more fresh comic talent.” Tanmay Bhat attributes his rise as an independent comedian to fellow judges on the panel, some of whom he has mentored over the years. “I remember years ago, I opened for Tanmay during a show in Bangalore. For me, he was the Tanmay Bhat, the new big thing in comedy. Since then, I still consult him on sharing my stuff on YouTube or for anything related to my set,” says Kenny Sebastian, who has been performing on stage since he was 19.
