TVF chooses SonyLiv over YouTube for Tripling 2

It often becomes difficult and challenging to repeat the success of a hit content series. And for TVF Originals’ Head and Chief Content Officer Sameer Saxena, the second season of Tripling was nothing short of a challenge, considering the content had to be different and interesting in continuity of the first season to make it more engaging for the viewers.

Premiering on April 5, all five episodes of Tripling 2 will be available on OTT platforms TVFPlay and SonyLiv. Riding on the success of the first season, TVF has decided not to host the series on YouTube free of cost and struck a deal with SonyLiv.

“It is difficult and challenging to create new content for season two, given how popular season one was. We don’t bend down with the pressure or the expectations since we have a good story in hand. It took two-and-a-half years because we wanted to crack a good story,” said Saxena.

Commenting on what new this season has to offer, Saxena said this season brings a showcase of more bonding between the three siblings (Chandan, Chanchal and Chitvan) besides being entertaining and fun for the audience. 

Chandan has written a book on their lives mentioning a few things which do not go well with the other two siblings. Because of the things mentioned in the book, all three siblings have to take another road trip.

“There are situations that demand the siblings to stand for each other. There is going to be more drama, new characters, and new road trip elements. This time also we have some good music which is situational-based and supports the scenes,” Saxena said.

Talking about its collaboration, he said, “The symmetry with the brand matched very well. The story was aligned with what the brand had in mind and what they had in mind aligned well with our story. The collaboration came out simply and organically. We were already writing season two and had a brand on board and thought it will blend and fit well.”

He further added that the brand is very coherent with the series since it is all about sharing and caring. The integration of the brand has been fitted very organically.

Apart from this, the channel hasn’t really thought of coming up with season three anytime soon, irrespective of the responses that it would get with season two.
