The first season of Kaala Paani was a hit among the audience, thanks to its tight writing and superlative performances. In no time, the show's popularity snowballed and the audience got hooked. Amid the humongous success of Kaala Paani, the makers have renewed it for a second season.

Netflix announced today that Kaala Paani will be a franchise with the second season coming out soon on the streaming platform. The first season left many questions in the minds of the audience and the sequel might be where they will be solved.

In an official statement, Sameer Saxena, Executive Producer, Showrunner and Director of Kaala Paani said, "The unconditional love pouring in from all corners is simply gratifying. We are extremely grateful that Netflix had faith in our idea and us as storytellers. Kaala Paani has been successful in triggering conversations around the choices we make collectively or as individuals and the larger impact it has in maintaining our ecological balance. Partnering with Netflix to tell a story like this only strengthens our faith in good storytelling getting its due. As we gear up for Season 2 of Kaala Paani, we are thrilled to dive into the world once again and pick up the character journeys from where we left off."

Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India said, "Since the release of Kaala Paani, we've been truly overwhelmed with the love the series has received from the fans, critics and industry alike. Venturing into a whole new genre of survival-dramas in India has been rewarding for us, at Netflix. Seeing fans connect with the show and the characters is a true testament to the power of unique storytelling and their inclination to have distinct voices on-screen. We're pleased to be able to take that leap with Sameer, Biswa and Amit and we can't wait to bring our viewers another riveting chapter from the Andaman & Nicobar Islands with an all new season of Kaala Paani, only on Netflix."
