Netflix Renews Heeramandi For Season 2: See Details On Plot, Cast

Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, a period drama series that was recently released, is now set for its second season. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, along with his longtime collaborators Vibhu Puri and Mitakshara Kumar, brought this six-episode series to life. Set in the red-light district of Heera Mandi in Lahore, the series explores the lives of tawaifs during the Indian independence movement against British rule.

Since its release on May 1, the show featuring a stellar cast including Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal Mehta, and Taha Shah Badussha,  has captivated audiences worldwide.

Within its first week, it quickly rose to Netflix's Top 10 TV (non-English) list in 43 countries, becoming the most-watched Indian series globally. The show has dominated the number one spot on India's Top 10 list since its debut.

The series has had a significant cultural impact, with fans creating reels and posts inspired by Mallikajaan and Fareedan’s dialogues, Bibbojaan’s seductive walk, and the soulful musical renditions of Sakal Ban and Ek Baar Dekh Leejiye. Fans have also recreated stunning costumes from the show. The overwhelming support for Season 1 has made Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar a massive success, prompting Netflix India to announce that the series will return for Season 2.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the creator of the series, expressed his gratitude for the show's success, saying, "I'm blessed by the love and appreciation for Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. It's been a joy to see the show resonate with audiences worldwide, and I couldn't have asked for a better partner than Netflix. I’m happy to announce that we’ll be back with season 2!”

Monika Shergill, Vice President of Content at Netflix India, added, "Sanjay Leela Bhansali has intricately woven magic to bring Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar to life. Watching audiences everywhere fall in love with this series — making it truly their own as a cultural phenomenon — has been hugely energising and it thrills me to share that we will be back with Season 2."

The latest video announces that Season 2 of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is coming soon!
