Aparna Purohit, Head of India Originals, Amazon Prime Video, said “Mirzapur” has been a “game-changer” for the streamer. “The show heralded a new idiom of storytelling for Indian audiences – its characters have become a part of the popular culture. We are certain that the riveting narrative of season 2 will leave our audiences mesmerized once again,” she said.

The series is produced by Excel Media and Entertainment, created by Puneet Krishna and directed by Gurmmeet Singh and Mihir Desai. “All the praise that season one of Mirzapur has received, not just in India, but across the globe, is heartening. It pushes Excel Entertainment and Amazon Prime Video to continue the momentum with the second season of the show,” said Ritesh Sidhwani, Producer, Excel Entertainment.

Krishna said they will deliver a performance that matches up to the scale of the first season of the hinterland drama. “The love and appreciation that the show has garnered since its launch has been simply overwhelming. Taking it a notch higher, we’re certain that the audiences are in for a visual treat in the sequel,” he added.

The first season of Mirzapur released in 2018 on Amazon Prime Video and was bankrolled by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani.
