name, features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Saif Ali Khan in the lead.
Directed
by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane, the first season of the
series premiered on Netflix
on July 6.
The
second season will pick up from Sartaj Singh (Khan) pursuing his
relentless battle of saving the city and Ganesh Gaitonde (Siddiqui)
facing bigger challenges to retain his position as the legendary
kingpin of Mumbai, the streaming giant said in a press release.
Actor
Pankaj Tripathi, who played the intriguing Guruji in season one will
also be back for the show's sophomore run.
His
character 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 later this year.
For
the second season, Kashyap will continue to direct the story of
Siddiqui's Gaitonde, while Motwane will be handing over the baton for
the shooting of Sartaj Singh's plot to "Masaan" helmer
Neeraj Ghaywan.
Motwane
and Varun Grover will continue their roles of being the showrunner
and the lead writer respectively.
"We've
been thrilled by the response to Sacred Games from fans worldwide,
and especially in India, to this high-quality production. It's
incredibly exciting for us to take the story of Sacred Games forward
and open a new chapter in the series with its second season,"
said Erik Barmack, vice president, international originals at
Netflix.
"Sacred
Games" is the first of eight Indian series that Netflix has
commissioned. Upon its debut, the show received positive reviews from
critics, mainly for the performance of its lead actor.
