A source told the publication,
“Dahaad 2 is on, and the team is working on the script. 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.”
With production now reportedly resuming, it appears the scripting and pre-production phases are largely complete.

About Dahaad
Directed by Reema Kagti and Ruchika Oberoi, Dahaad premiered in 2023 and starred Sonakshi Sinha, Gulshan Devaiah, Vijay Varma, and Sohum Shah. The series is inspired by the real-life crimes of Mohan Kumar, infamously known as Cyanide Mohan.
The show made history by becoming the first-ever Indian web series to premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, a milestone that further cemented its critical credibility. It went on to receive glowing reviews for its intense storytelling, nuanced performances, and socially relevant themes.
What To Expect From Dahaad 2
While plot details remain tightly under wraps, Dahaad 2 is expected to expand its narrative scale, delve deeper into character arcs, and maintain the chilling realism that defined the first season. With Rajasthan once again as its backdrop and the original creative team steering the project, expectations are sky-high.
With filming set to resume this month, fans can expect more updates—including casting confirmations and a release timeline—in the coming weeks.
