Prime Video’s critically acclaimed police procedural drama Dahaadhas been renewed for a second season. The series’ lead actors, Sonakshi Sinha and Gulshan Devaiah, confirmed the news on Friday.
The actors shared a news report on their Instagram stories and expressed their excitement. “Finally!!! Can’t wait to get back in that uniform,” wrote Sinha. “Now… where did I keep that uniform…” read Devaiah’s story.
THR India quoted a source that said that the makers are currently working on the script for the returning season. “Prime Video is aiming to mount the show on a big scale, as the first season did extremely well, garnering immense praise. The work is underway, and the team will figure out a shooting timeline soon,” the source said. Other details regarding the returning season are unknown as of now.
The first season, which premiered on Prime Video on May 12, 2023, was created by Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar. Set in Rajasthan, it told a story based on the real-life serial killer Cyanide Mohan, who killed 20 women with cyanide pills.
The series showed Sinha’s cop character, Anjaali Bhaati, investigate a mysterious case of the suicides of 27 young women, all of whom were runaways who died by consuming poison. The story zeroed in on actor Vijay Varma’s Anand Swarnakar, a college professor revealed to be the serial killer. Devaiah played Inspector Devi Lal Singh in the series that also featured Sohum Shah and Sanghmitra Hitaishi in pivotal roles.
Notably, Dahaad became the first-ever Indian streaming series to premiere at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival.
