After a successful debut that blended passion, ambition, and the magic of 1990s Bollywood, First Copy is returning for Season 2—this time with even higher stakes. Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free streaming service, has officially confirmed the comeback of its hit original drama, with comedian-turned-actor Munawar Faruqui reprising his role as Arif.
Season 1 marked a significant shift for Faruqui, known primarily for his stand-up comedy. His portrayal of Arif—a man obsessed with cinema and power—earned critical praise and a strong fanbase. The story followed Arif’s rise in the world of underground filmmaking, set against a nostalgic Bollywood backdrop. Now, Season 2 will continue from the explosive cliffhanger where Arif’s empire collapsed and his dreams were left in ruins.
Arif’s Story Isn’t Over Yet
The teaser hints at a darker and more emotional journey as Arif confronts betrayal, seeks redemption, and chases a second chance. “First Copy was a big leap for me,” Munawar said in a statement. “I didn’t expect this kind of love. Arif is passionate, flawed, and constantly searching for meaning in the chaos. But his story is just getting started.”
The returning season will feature a strong ensemble cast including Krystle D’Souza, Gulshan Grover, Saqib Ayub, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang, Inam Ul Haq, and Raza Murad, promising even more drama, intrigue, and layered storytelling.
Streaming Soon for Free
With fan theories swirling online and excitement building, First Copy Season 2 is set to premiere later this year on Amazon MX Player. The best part? It’ll be available to stream for free. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the series, now is the perfect time to catch up—because Arif’s story is far from over.
