SEASON 2 PREVIEW:-
Netflix has not renewed the season two of the series as of now as it considers a yearly gap between its original contents to be on the floors. The presumptions were made concerning the arrival of season 2 at the time of June 2020 that did not turn out to be very true.
Until and unless Netflix announces the sequel, we cannot just make a word about it.
As season was completely based on the source material, season 2 is least expected. But if the makers concern is to bring out another venture, it can be brought out with a different storyline either a self-written one or a different source material that is left unnoticed and unheard among the Indian audience.
