Clarifying the buzz, News18 reported that the makers of the show confirmed that the much-awaited 8th and final episode will stream on July 3, 2025. The episode released on June 26 was in fact the 7th, not the finale, and the mix-up was due to inaccurate information published online.
Starring Pankaj Tripathi as the beloved and quirky lawyer Madhav Mishra, Season 4 has taken viewers deep into a tangled web of lies, family secrets, and courtroom drama. Despite fans pleading for a binge-drop of all eight episodes, the creators stuck to a weekly format — keeping audiences hooked, week after week.
Now, with one episode to go, the burning question remains: Who killed Roshni? Theories are swirling across social media as fans try to crack the case before Mishra does. All eyes are on July 3, when the truth will finally be laid bare.
