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.
