Zee Telugu is all set to ignite the small screen once again with the return of its much-loved kids’ acting reality show, ‘Drama Juniors’.

The channel has officially announced the launch of ‘Drama Juniors’ S8, promising a bigger, bolder, and even more entertaining edition. The new season premieres on April 12, 2025, and will air every Saturday at 9pm, exclusively on Zee Telugu.

Adding fresh energy to the show, popular anchor Sudheer will step in as the host for this season. Known for his charm, wit, and lively presence, Sudheer is expected to create an electrifying atmosphere, making the show a weekend favourite for viewers of all ages.

This time around, Zee Telugu has pulled out all the stops with an impressive panel of judges. Acclaimed filmmaker Anil Ravipudi, known for his blockbuster hits, will be donning the judge’s hat for the very first time on television, alongside the graceful and seasoned actress Roja. Ravipudi’s participation as a mentor marks a significant highlight, as he is set to offer young contestants not just judgment but also valuable guidance that could shape their budding careers.

The launch event itself promises to be nothing short of a grand celebration. Tollywood’s beloved stars Jagapathi Babu and Amani will grace the premiere episode as chief guests, adding a glittering touch to what is expected to be a memorable kick-off to the season.

In an exciting twist this year, ‘Drama Juniors’ S8 will see the contestants split into two dynamic teams: the Boys’ Team and the Girls’ Team, each nurtured under the careful mentorship of two popular faces from the television world. The vibrant anchor Lasya will lead the Girls’ Team, while the Boys’ Team will be guided by Nayani, known for her acclaimed role in the hit serial Trinayani. This team format is expected to fuel spirited performances, friendly rivalries, and memorable moments throughout the season.

With a revamped format, star-studded judging panel, celebrity guests, and a promise of unforgettable performances by talented young artists from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and beyond, ‘Drama Juniors’ S8 is poised to capture the hearts of viewers once again. The stage is set, the teams are ready, and the excitement is already building — audiences can expect an entertaining rollercoaster ride starting April 12 on Zee Telugu.
