As with the first series, the story is built around a connection that starts by chance and grows into something more. The light, youthful tone is aimed at the same college and young working audience that followed the original on YouTube.
The original Wrong Number series
RVCJ’s first Wrong Number season came out in December 2019, followed by a second season in June 2020, according to streaming listings. The earlier seasons featured Apoorva Arora and Ambrish Verma among the lead cast, with a storyline centred on friendship, romance and mix-ups.
RVCJ said at the time of the reboot announcement that the first two seasons together had drawn 60.2 million views. This is the company’s own figure and has not been independently verified by TSA.

What RVCJ said about the reboot
Aziz Khan, co-founder and chief revenue officer of RVCJ, said the company was excited to bring the Wrong Number series back. He said viewers’ affection for the original seasons inspired the team to write a new story, and that RVCJ hoped the reboot would go beyond the original’s viewership.
Why brands back web series like this
Wrong Number Reboot is an example of branded entertainment, a format that has grown fast on Indian YouTube. Instead of running a standard advertisement, a brand partners with a content creator to fund a series, and its product appears naturally within the story.
- For the brand: it reaches young viewers who often skip regular ads, in a setting they chose to watch.
- For the creator: brand funding pays for higher production quality and lets the series stay free for viewers.
- For viewers: the content is free, though they should know that a partner brand is involved.
In India, the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) has guidelines that ask creators to clearly disclose paid brand tie-ups in digital content, so partner names usually appear in the title cards, the description or the video itself. This helps viewers see who funded what they are watching.
Festive releases are popular for such series because brands plan bigger marketing campaigns around Diwali, when consumer spending in India peaks. You can read more about brand campaigns in our Buzz section.
