THE MUCH-AWAITED second season of “Paatal Lok” is set to premiere on Prime Video on January 17.
Written and created by Sudip Sharma, the first season of the crime drama featured Jaideep Ahlawat as a washed-out Delhi police officer named Hathi Ram Chaudhary who lands the case of a lifetime when four suspects are captured in the assassination attempt of a prime-time journalist.
The new season will see Ahlawat reprise his role alongside Ishwak Singh and Gul Panag.
Tillotama Shome, Nagesh Kukunoor, and Jahnu Barua are the new additions to the cast.
Directed by Avinash Arun Dhaware, “Paatal Lok” season two is a Clean Slate Filmz Production in association with Eunoia Films LLP.
Nikhil Madhok, Head of Originals, Prime Video India, said the first chapter of “Paatal Lok” made a huge impact with its gripping narrative, layered characters and raw portrayal of societal realities, earning critical acclaim and a massive fanbase.
Sharma, who also serves as the showrunner of the series, said he is “thrilled” to continue his long-standing association with the streamer through the second season of “Paatal Lok”.
The first season of “Paatal Lok”, directed by Dhaware and Prosit Roy, arrived on the streamer in 2020 during the peak of the pandemic.
Its success brought nationwide fame to Ahlawat, known for “Gangs of Wasseypur” and “Raazi”, and saw Singh emerge as the breakout performer.
