Bigg Boss 17: The new season of the reality show is set to premiere on October 15. Inside pictures from this season's Bigg Boss house as well as details about the contestants on the show have taken over social media. Actor Salman Khan will be returning as the host of Bigg Boss 17. Ahead of the Bigg Boss 17 premiere on Sunday evening, here are all the details you need – from where to watch to the expected contestants.

The show premiered on October 15 on Colors TV. You can watch the show on TV at 10 pm between Monday and Friday and at 9 pm on Saturday and Sunday. On weekends, host Salman Khan will be seen on the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes. JioCinema will also livestream Bigg Boss' latest season after streaming Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 earlier this year.

Salman has been entertaining the audience as the host of Bigg Boss since 2010. He recently hosted Bigg Boss OTT 2 as well. Last month, Colors TV and JioCinema dropped a promo featuring the host and actor.

In the promo, Salman was seen in a bald look meddling with a bomb. "Arey ye bhi koi bomb hai? Isse bhi explosive sadasya aayenge (Is this even a bomb? Contestants, who are more explosive than this bomb will be seen on the show this time)," Salman said in the video.

He then went on to cut the wrong wire leading to an explosion and said, “Aag se khilayenge, dhamaka karayenge, dil dimaag aur dum ka hoga ye game but ye game nahi hoga sabke liye same to same (We will make them play with fire and make them explode. But this game is not going to be the same for all, it will be a game of heart, mind and guts).”
