Leaving the shadows of Jagrana behind, Assistant Sub-Inspector Amarpal Garundi, portrayed by Barun Sobti, finds himself at a new posting in Kohrra Season 2. Transferred to the Dalerpura Police Station, Garundi must navigate unfamiliar terrain, both professionally and emotionally, as he begins working under his new commanding officer, Dhanwant Kaur, played by Mona Singh. Though their personalities and methods may appear starkly different at first, the two officers share a fierce dedication to their work—throwing themselves headfirst into investigations, even as unresolved wounds from their pasts begin to resurface.
After a critically acclaimed first season that set a new benchmark for Indian police procedurals, Kohrra returns on February 11, reaffirming its position as one of Netflix India’s most prestigious and finely crafted investigative dramas. Season 1 was lauded for its atmospheric storytelling, emotional depth, and unflinching portrayal of human fragility. Season 2 builds on that foundation, offering a fresh case, a new city, and a compelling new partnership—while retaining the haunting tone that made the series stand out.
Created and written by Gunjit Chopra, Diggi Sisodia, and Sudip Sharma, the new season once again unfolds against the bleak, wintry landscapes of Punjab. Here, silence often speaks louder than confessions, and the truth reveals itself slowly, buried beneath layers of grief, guilt, and unspoken histories. The setting is not merely a backdrop but a living, breathing presence that shapes the characters and their choices, reinforcing the show’s reputation for immersive world-building.
Season 2 also marks a significant creative evolution for Kohrra. Sudip Sharma, the visionary creator and showrunner of the series, steps into the director’s chair for the first time, co-directing alongside Faisal Rahman. This transition allows Sharma to bring an even more intimate and immersive lens to the storytelling. His dual role as showrunner and director ensures that the emotional and thematic core of Kohrra remains intact while expanding its narrative ambition.
Speaking about returning to the world of Kohrra, Sudip Sharma shared his excitement about exploring familiar themes through a new lens. “It’s quite exciting to be back. Season 1 allowed us to explore quieter tensions between people, between past and present. This season as well, we’ve tried to bring forth as authentic a portrayal of Punjab as possible, with the characters rooted in a universal reality we’ve seen play out across the country,” he said. Describing the new season as an emotional roller-coaster, Sharma praised Barun Sobti and Mona Singh for their performances, expressing eagerness for audiences to experience their on-screen dynamic.
Barun Sobti returns as Garundi, carrying forward the emotional weight of his character’s journey while revealing new layers shaped by his changing circumstances. Mona Singh’s addition to the franchise brings a fresh energy, with her portrayal of Dhanwant Kaur promising nuance, authority, and emotional depth. Together, their characters form a partnership defined not by instant trust, but by gradual understanding forged in the face of darkness and moral ambiguity.
Produced by Film Squad Production in association with Act Three, Kohrra Season 2 is backed by producers Saurabh Malhotra, Sudip Sharma, Manuj Mittra, and Tina Tharwani. The production continues the series’ commitment to grounded realism, focusing on restrained performances, detailed writing, and a slow-burning narrative that rewards patience.
Tanya Bami, Series Head at Netflix India, emphasized the show’s enduring impact and cult status. “Kohrra is our cult classic which won many awards, love and accolades from audiences and critics. What makes it unique is its honest simplicity—the unassuming backgrounds that expose deep layers of complexity as the fog lifts episode on episode,” she said. Highlighting the new season’s setting, crime, and partnership, Bami described Season 2 as even more riveting, crediting Sudip Sharma’s expert craftsmanship and his directorial debut as key strengths.
With a new case, a new city, and a powerful new dynamic between its leads, Kohrra Season 2 promises a haunting continuation of Indian noir storytelling. As truth slowly emerges from the mist, the series reminds viewers that the most dangerous beasts are often the familiar ones—lurking quietly within, waiting to be confronted.
