Netflix’s prison drama The Black Warrant, starring Zahan Kapoor, has been renewed for a second season, the streaming platform announced on Wednesday.
The release date for the upcoming instalment is yet to be announced.
“Welcome to Season 2, Jailer sahab. Black Warrant Season 2 is coming soon, only on Netflix,” the streamer wrote alongside a poster of the series.
Created by Vikramaditya Motwane, Season 1 of the prison drama premiered on January 10. Marking Zahan’s OTT debut, the show is a dramatised adaptation of former Tihar Jail superintendent Sunil Gupta and journalist-author Sunetra Choudhury’s book, Black Warrant: Confessions Of A Tihar Jailer.
The story revolves around Sunil Kumar Gupta, a newly minted assistant superintendent of prisons, who steps into Tihar with a sense of purpose and an air of innocence that feels almost alien in the grim setting.
Presented by Applause Entertainment, the seven-episode series also starred Rahul Bhat, Sidhant Gupta, Anurag Thakur, Tota Roy Choudhury and Paramvir Singh Cheema.
