For fans of Madhav Mishra’s courtroom wizardry, this week came with a twist and not the kind scripted by the writers. After days of online buzz suggesting Criminal Justice: A Family Matter would conclude on June 26, the record has officially been set straight. The finale is not arriving this Thursday. Instead, it will stream a week later.
What sparked the Mix-up?
The confusion wasn’t completely out of nowhere. An early update on the show’s Wikipedia page listed June 26 as the date for the final episode, and the internet did what it does best… believed it, reposted it, and built an entire finale countdown around it.
From Reddit theories to fan reels, the digital jury was convinced. But in a recent clarification, The Team confirmed that Episode 8, the last in this season’s legal saga, will go live on 3rd July 2025, giving fans one more week to build theories and suspect everyone.
What’s Still at Stake?
This season has followed the intense and emotionally fraught murder investigation of nurse Roshni, with advocate Madhav Mishra (played with effortless genius by Pankaj Tripathi) taking on yet another morally layered case.
As always, Mishra operates somewhere between street-smart wisdom and legal precision, a character who can deliver a punchline and a closing argument in the same breath.
With tensions running high and the real killer still a mystery, the finale is expected to deliver big… whether it’s in justice, shock, or heartbreak.
Episode 8 is expected to tie up the threads but with this show’s track record, don’t be surprised if it also leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.
What’s Next on Hotstar?
Once Criminal Justice signs off, JioHotstar’s next tentpole release is already waiting in the wings, and it’s a big one. Special Ops 2.0, starring Kay Kay Menon, is expected to be released soon.
While Criminal Justice thrives in legal realism and emotional intensity, Special Ops is all about adrenaline, geopolitics, and spy-game tension. Different mood, same obsession. So yes, the courtroom lights may dim for now, but the spotlight isn’t going anywhere.

Final Note
The case isn’t closed just yet. Madhav Mishra still has a few words left, and we’re all staying seated, popcorn armed, and fully invested. Because if there’s one thing this show delivers beside justice… It’s sleepless nights and exhilarating chills.
