Prime Video has set a premiere date for the sophomore season of its musical drama series “Bandish Bandits.”
The new season continues to explore the fusion of Indian classical music with contemporary pop, following protagonists Radhe and Tamanna as they compete for recognition. Series creators Amritpal Singh Bindra and Anand Tiwari return, with Tiwari directing and co-writing alongside Atmika Didwania and Karan Singh Tyagi, with Bindra producing for Leo Media Collective.
Original cast members Ritwik Bhowmik, Shreya Chaudhry, Sheeba Chaddha, Atul Kulkarni, Rajesh Tailang and Kunaal Roy Kapur reprise their roles. New additions include Divya Dutta, Rohan Gurbaxani, Yashaswini Dayama, Aaliyah Qureshi and Saurabh Nayyar.
“At Prime Video, we take pride in bringing stories and narratives that are not only culturally relevant, but also showcase the rich tapestry of traditions we celebrate in India, ‘Bandish Bandits’ has been one such gem in our diverse list of originals,” said Nikhil Madhok, head of originals, Prime Video India. “With the sophomore season of ‘Bandish Bandits,’ we’ve pushed the boundaries with the music and the story, diving into themes of legacy, identity and ambition. It is a story we’re excited to bring to our customers and are confident that it will receive the same kind of love and acclaim as the first season did.”
“’Bandish Bandits’ is a series we’re extremely proud of. With Season 1, our ambition was to showcase Indian classical music in an authentic and engaging way, which is rarely explored in mainstream Indian entertainment and explore the conflict between tradition and modernity, a theme that resonates with nearly everyone,” added Bindra. “With Season 2, we’re picking up from where we left off, but bringing in bigger conflicts as the stakes get higher and the tension between Radhe and Tamanna reaches a dramatic crescendo.”
“Bandish Bandits” Season 2 premieres Dec. 13 on Prime Video worldwide.
