The debut producers of season 7, Strings duo and series regular producer Coca-Cola continued their journey as producers in this season. Earlier, rumours were made that Rohail Hyatt will be back as a producer this season but he denied rumors saying "Just for the record, I’m not producing the next season of Coke Studio Pakistan (2015). I think the BBC interview is being interpreted by some as if I am producing this season. What I meant to say was that I would like to produce my 7th season of Coke Studio one day. I hope this clears any confusion".[16] The lead bassist Khalid Khan, was ruled out of season 8 due to cervical pain, who was replaced by Kamran ‘Mannu’ Zafar.[17] Season would featured seven episodes comprising thirty-one artists, thirteen musicians and twenty-eight songs.[18] It aired a weekly episode every Sunday on various channels across the Pakistan.
