Sacred Games: Netflix’s first Indian original series has been received very well in the first season. The eight-part season 1 is an impressive crime thriller based on Mumbai’s notorious underworld while taking us through the city’s organized crime, corruption, and more.
For long, people were waiting for season 2 to learn more about the crime story and its two prominent characters: a cop named Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan), and crime boss Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui).
KEY CHARACTERS:
Sartaj Singh, a good cop, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery, struggles to solve the mystery of Gaitonde’s third father, and attempts to salvage his failed marriage, all while trying to save Mumbai from a massacre. In turn, Ganesh Gaitonde, the crime boss, in his quest to re-establish his power and position as the king, sets up a new cartel far away from his land.
We will also see two new characters Batya Abelman (Kalki Koechlin), and Shahid Khan (Ranvir Shorey) and as Netflix writes in a press release, the story will surprise us with numerous twists to the tale, while the self-proclaimed renaissance man Guruji (Pankaj Tripathi) plays a larger role and might become as big as Gaitonde.
Vikramaditya Motwane, who turns showrunner with the second season, shares:
“We’re extremely excited to finally be able to share with the fans of Sacred Games what they’ve all been waiting for with bated breath – the date of its release on Netflix! This season is bigger, more compelling, and totally unexpected. Be prepared to discover a different side to each character as we take the audience on a tremendous journey, and address questions left unanswered last season.”
