Ridhi Dogra, Monica Dogra-starrer The Married Woman to have a second season?

Encouraged by The Married Woman’s success, Ekta Kapoor to roll out second season.

In the three weeks that The Married Woman dropped online, the Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra-fronted show has won praise for its nuanced portrayal of same-sex love in a society that unfortunately burdens women with expectations and conditioning. Elated at the series’ success, the creative team at ALT Balaji is apparently discussing rolling out a subsequent season. “The series has generated tremendous buzz, which, in turn, has encouraged the makers to take the story ahead,” says a source close to the project.

The true win for producer Ekta Kapoor is that the show has sparked a conversation on women’s agency. Kapoor hints at the possibility of a second instalment as she says, “The Married Woman is trending as one of the most-watched shows, which is heartening. With the kind of numbers that the [offering] has got, I don’t want to say anything at this moment, but [a second edition] is inevitable.” 

Based on Manju Kapur’s novel A Married Woman, the Sahir Raza-directed series also features Imaad Shah, Ayesha Raza and Nadira Babbar, among others.
