Netflix and Applause Entertainment confirm season 2 of Zahaan Kapoor and Vikramaditya Motwane's 'Black Warrant'
As the story dives deeper into the human truths of incarceration and redemption, Black Warrant Season 2, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, promises to raise the stakes read more Following the critical acclaim and audience love for its gripping first season, Black Warrant will return for a Season 2. Presented by Applause Entertainment, an Andolan Production in association with Confluence Media, Black Warrant is based on the book Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer by Sunil Gupta and Sunetra Choudhury. With Zahan Kapoor emerging as a breakout star and the narrative receiving widespread praise for its realism and intensity, the show's renewal further cements Applause's growing slate of powerful, homegrown franchises that push the boundaries of Indian storytelling. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As the story dives deeper into the human truths of incarceration and redemption, Black Warrant Season 2, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, promises to raise the stakes, led by a creative partnership between Netflix, Applause, Andolan and Confluence that continues to set the benchmark for premium drama. In an interview with Firstpost, real-life jailer Sunil Kumar Gupta revealed, 'I am against the death sentence because mostly this is given to poor prisoners who are marginalised because they can't get good advocates to fight their cases, so they are hanged. I would advise them to give longer prison terms, say 30 to 40 years or even 50 years. Even in the Nirbhaya case I was against the death sentence. In my experience as a jailer I have seen that the death sentence is given to poor people who cannot afford a private advocate. See Surendra Koli is out after killing dozens of people because he could afford a lawyer.' He added, 'Criminals can be reformed, but it is difficult. I would say only 2 to 3 percent of criminals do't have an inclination to get reformed. The important tool for reforming them is to make them educated. We have open school and distance education in jail from where the prisoners are passing their 10th and 12th standard exams and even their graduation and post-graduation exams.'

Black Warrant Season 2 OTT Release Update: When and where to expect return of Zahan Kapoor and Rahul Bhat's show
Black Warrant Season 2 OTT Release Update: If you thought the first chapter was intense, get ready, the prison gates are opening again. Netflix's gritty jailhouse drama Black Warrant is coming back for Season 2, and yes, Zahan Kapoor and Rahul Bhat are returning to take us deeper into the terrifying, true-to-life world behind Tihar Jail's walls. The series was officially renewed on 28th May, 2025. What went down in Black Warrant Season 1? Adapted from the book Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer by Sunil Gupta and Sunetra Choudhury, Season 1 gave us a raw, dramatised look inside one of India's most notorious prisons. It went deeper into the psyches of both inmates and those who guard them. Zahan Kapoor played Sunil Kumar Gupta, a young officer walking into the chaos of Tihar with hopes of making a difference. Rahul Bhat portrayed a senior jail official whose moral compass was constantly tested. The show didn't flinch from showing brutality, injustice, survival politics, and even brief flickers of hope in the darkest corners of the system. From power dynamics to quiet moments of vulnerability, Season 1 was a rare, bold piece of Indian storytelling. Rather than glamorising crime, it made you sit in your discomfort. So, what's the word on Black Warrant Season 2? Here's the good news: Netflix, along with creators Vikramaditya Motwane, Applause Entertainment, and Confluence Media, have confirmed that Black Warrant will return for Season 2. There's no official date yet, but if we go by the production pace and Netflix's schedule pattern, late 2025 to early 2026 is the most likely window for its return. Season 1 dropped on 10th January this year. Vikramaditya Motwane, the man who gave us Sacred Games and Udaan, is at the helm again. And that's a reason alone to watch. Backing him are Applause Entertainment and Confluence Media, known for championing bold, original Indian content. Sounds exciting? Drop your thoughts @indiatimes.
