Sacred Games fans might be in for an unpleasant news. Despite the makers of the series creating an air of mystery regarding the second season, it seems like we have to wait for some time till the new season gets a release date. Initially, Season 2 was supposed to drop on 28 June, but as per a mid-day report, it got postponed to August.

“The protagonists of the show, Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, are busy shooting for their upcoming projects. While Saif Ali in London for his home production Jawani Jaaneman, Nawazuddin has already given his dates to his brother’s directorial venture, Bole Chudiyan”, a source told mid-day.

“There is another reason too. Since Leila is already garnering a lot of praise, the makers wanted a gap between the Huma Qureshi-starrer web show and the next big project. Sacred Games Season 2 will release in August”, the source added.

On 20 May, Netflix India’s Instagram page hopped onto the Snapchat baby-filter bandwagon and posted a collage featuring baby versions of Kukoo (Kubbra Sait), Anjali Mathur (Radhika Apte), Katekar (Jitendra Joshi) and Bunty (Jatin Sarna). The caption, as usual, was very cryptic. “25 din mein school shuru hone wala hain (School will begin in 25 days)“, wrote Netflix in the caption of the photo. If we were to count, the days, the result would be 14 June.

Naturally, the post has fans both cracking up over the photos as well as speculating if the makers are going to drop the trailer or a second teaser at least of the next season of Sacred Games.

On 6 May, the streaming giant dropped a teaser introducing the new characters. According to the teaser, Ranvir Shorey and Kalki Koechlin will be joining the cast of Sacred Games 2. The streaming platform recently revealed the news along with glimpses of the two actors’ looks from the show.

Ranvir can be seen wielding a gun, though one can’t be sure whether he’s one of the good guys or not. Kalki can be spotted wearing a necklace with a symbol that could prove to be significant to the story.

The teaser also puts a spotlight on Pankaj Tripathi’s Guriji who is expected to have a major role in season 2, after brief appearances as Ganesh Gaitonde’s “teesra baap(third father)” in season 1.
