The makers of Sacred Games released a teaser of the second season, captioning it "Iss khel ka asli baap kaun?" (Who is the master of this game?). The teaser hardly reveals much, but viewers may be pleasantly surprised to see additions of two new kingpins in the cat-and-mouse, gritty chase.



In brief introductions, Kalki Koechlin and Ranvir Shorey's characters are shown, suggesting that these two new people could very well change the course of the narrative. Back with a bang of course are Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) and Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), along with Pankaj Tripathi, who is expected to have a more prominent role in Season 2.
While season 1 saw the departure of many favourites, Season 2 will witness Kalki Koechlin as Batya, and Ranvir Shorey as Shahid Khan, reports First Post.
The second season picks up with Sartaj (Saif Ali Khan) pursuing his relentless quest to save the city, and Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) facing bigger challenges to retain his position as the legendary kingpin of Mumbai. The intriguing Guruji (Pankaj Tripathi), introduced in Season 1 as Gaitonde’s ‘third father’, plays a pivotal role in unfolding a chain of events that shape the season.
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has directed Ganesh Gaitonde’s track, while Neeraj Ghaywan (of Masaan-fame) is the main man behind Sartaj’s track in Season 2. Vikramaditya Motwane and Varun Grover continue their roles of the showrunner and the lead writer respectively.
Based on Vikram Chandra’s award-winning book, Sacred Games Season 2 will premiere on Netflix later this year.
