Hey @bhanu01prakash ,
There has been no update about the next cohort so far, but I think that the new season will start in first week of January.

Hello @bhanu01prakash ,
I've personally talked to the chat support team regarding the beginning of the next cohort.
As per their reply, the next cohort is scheduled to start on the first week of January 2025 (consider on or after 5th January) tentatively. They're still awaiting confirmation on the exact dates.
It goes without saying that only after the prize counter opens will the next cohort be started. It is possible that they will introduce new games after the prize counter closes, since they'll take the time to prepare new games and events for us. As for the prize counter dates, they humbly requested to bear with them as they'll introduce it 'very soon' (seems like they're keeping it as a surprise).

IMO, if they need to put 4 trivia games in January for each of the 4 weeks, they should start the games no later than the second week of January 2025.

You're most welcome @bhanu01prakash 😊
You see, most of us (even myself) were expecting the Prize Counter mail today, but the Google team really did surprise us 😂 Hope they don't be late for the next season! 🤞
