The second season of the Malayalam-language version of Indian reality television series Bigg Boss commenced on 5 January 2020. It is produced by Endemol Shine India and telecast on Asianet. Mohanlal returned as the host of the show. The show follows a total of 19 contestants, who are isolated from the outside world for 105 days (or 15 weeks) in a custom built house. The housemates are dictated by an omnipresent entity named Bigg Boss. Each week, one or more of the housemates are evicted by a public vote.
The house is situated at EVP Film City in Chennai, where 17 contestants entered on day-1 and four joined later as wildcard entries. All housemates are public figures, such as film, television, radio, stage and internet personalities, and models. The winner of the season will receive a flat worth ₹5 million (₹50 lakh) along with a trophy. The show airs from Monday to Friday at 9.30 PM IST and at 9.00 PM IST on Saturdays and Sundays. The second season introduced an aftershow titled BB Cafe.

Production
The season two of the Malayalam-language version of Bigg Boss is produced by Endemol Shine India and telecast on Asianet.[3] In September 2019, it was confirmed that Mohanlal will return as the host for the second season as well and Asianet announced that season two would take off soon and asked viewers to suggest contestants to be featured on the show through their social media pages.[4] The season two comes with the tagline: Ini Valiya Kalikalumalla, Kalikal Vere Level (it's no longer just big games, now the games will go on its next level).[5][6] The newly designed eye logo was unveiled in November 2019, first promo for the show was also released on that month.[7][8][9][10][11]
House
The House for the first season of Bigg Boss was built at Goregaon Film City, Mumbai. Since season 13 of Hindi Bigg Boss was ongoing at the location, the location has to be shifted to EVP Film City, Chennai, where the first three seasons of Bigg Boss Tamil was filmed.[12][13] The 6000 square feet House was redesigned in the traditional architectural style of Kerala. Along with all the facilities that was available in the first season, the major new addition was a jail room with attached toilet for incarcerating housemates who violate the rules of the House. The essential facilities retained from the first season was dining area, living area, store room, kitchen, two bedrooms with eight beds, washroom, TV, swimming pool, confession room for interacting with Bigg Boss (voice), and smoke room for smokers.[14]
Broadcast
The second season is telecast on Asianet from Monday to Friday at 9.30 PM IST and at 9.00 PM IST on Saturdays and Sundays.[15] Asianet also airs an aftershow BB Cafe hosted by Rajesh Keshav and Gopika. It is also available for streaming on the over-the-top platform Hotstar.[16] The complete version of each day's episode is not streamed on Hotstar, rather they release an edited part, known as BB Plus, separately at a later time, and still may not contain some bits aired on television at the original airing time.[17] Additionally, the YouTube channel of Asianet also uploads short "ViralCut", and "UnCut" clips not broadcast on television and Hotstar. The 30-minute BB Cafe Live regularly reads live comments on YouTube and Facebook about each day's episodes.[18]
