Netflix India has officially triggered a countdown for the second season of its critically acclaimed crime procedural, Kohrra. The series finally made it into the "Coming Soon" carousel on the streaming platform after months of rumours and production updates. Reports indicate that the next season is set to premiere in either the last week of January or the first week of February 2026.
Who is the showrunner of Kohrra Season 2?
In the second installment, there is a major change in administrative leadership. Season one's primary architect and Paatal Lok creator Sudip Sharma has taken on a more prominent role in season two. In addition to directing alongside Faisal Rahman, Sharma is also the showrunner.
Season 2 is a joint effort between Film Squad Productions and Act Three Productions, which is Sharma's own banner. With this change, he makes his producing debut, and it's clear that he has greater creative say over the edgy, atmospheric tone that made the series popular in the first place.
Who all are in the cast of Kohrra Season 2?
Season 2's ensemble cast includes both returning and new faces. Barun Sobti reprises his role as Amarpal Jasjit Singh, aka Garundi. An integral part of the story continues to revolve around his character, who garnered many accolades for capturing the inner turmoil of a provincial police officer.
Mona Singh is the most talked-about new addition, joining the cast as the series' protagonist. As the tough investigator Dhanwant Kaur, she portrays Garundi's new boss. Fans of Singh's work in the OTT series Kaala Paani and Made In Heaven hope her presence will breathe fresh life into the show's traditional investigative procedural structure. Balbir Singh, played by Suvinder Vicky, was the show's emotional centre in season one, but this year's focus is on Garundi and Kaur's growing partnership.
What is the central mystery of Kohrra Season 2?
Following the same "whodunit" format as the first season, new episodes will investigate a case against the dense, fog-covered landscapes of rural Punjab. Reportedly, the story revolves around the brutal murder of a woman whose husband has just filed for divorce. Discovering her death in her brother's house initiates an inquiry that reveals hidden truths about local politics, family feuds, and society at large.
By centring on the investigators' interpersonal secrets and psychological burdens, the show maintains its attention on the "human" aspect of the murder. In a place where tradition and modern law often collide, the makers have hinted that the story will examine how human entanglements impede the pursuit of justice.
Was Kohrra Season 1 a hit or a flop?
With its July 2023 premiere, Kohrra Season 1 became an instant smash on Netflix India and went on to win several accolades, including many for Best Drama Series and Best Actor. The film's success was said to be due to its realistic depiction of the Punjab police force and its refusal to use standard "Bollywood" thriller tropes.
Netflix has now launched the teaser, allowing users to set alerts for the series' availability. Typically, the OTT giant's marketing window for high-profile originals is 14 to 21 days before a release, so listing the title in early January is in line with that.
