Days after The Viral Fever (TVF) released Jitendra Kumar's long-awaited Prime Video India Original series Panchayat, Netflix India has now announced the release date of season 3 of Jitendra and TVF's show Kota Factory – well, almost. 

Kota Factory S3 announcement

On Thursday, Netflix India dropped an announcement video of Kota Factory season 3 on its social media handles. It's a black-and-white video, going by the look of the show. Jitendra returns as Jeetu Bhaiya, wearing a dark green shirt and brown trousers. He then talks about how fans have been waiting for Kota Factory to return, and that the attendance in the comment section of this announcement video is quite good. He announces that season 3 will drop in June, but doesn't reveal the exact release date.

Fans guess release date

Jeetu Bhaiya then says it's a surprise test for the audience as he asks them to solve a mathematical problem on the white board behind him in order to arrive at the exact release date. Some fans were quick to reach the solution and guessed the release date as June 20. Some also guessed wrong release dates, like June 15 and June 28, prompting a user to comment, “Those answering anything other than 20 June, were you/are you even a IIT aspirant ever?”

Several others also showed their excitement at watching two much-awaited Jitendra Kumar shows consecutively – Panchayat and Kota Factory. “2 bangers from Jitendra Kumar in 2 months,” commented a user.
