Sacred Games , Netflix’s first original Indian show, has been renewed for a second season.

Based on author Vikram Chandra’s best-selling novel, season two of the show, set in Mumbai’s underbelly, will feature more of the characters we fell in love with.

The second season picks up from Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) pursuing his relentless battle of saving the city and Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) facing bigger challenges to retain his position as the legendary kingpin of Mumbai.

The intriguing Guruji (Pankaj Tripathi), introduced in season one as Gaitonde’s ‘third father,’ plays a pivotal role in unfolding a chain of events that shape the next season — which is scheduled to film in India and locations overseas this fall.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap will continue directing Ganesh Gaitonde’s track, while Neeraj Ghaywan (of Masaan fame) will take over Sartaj Singh’s plot. Vikramaditya Motwane and Varun Grover will continue their roles of being the showrunner and the lead writer respectively, according to a statement from the entertainment service.
