Following a spectacular, chart-dominating debut that completely ripped open the glitzy curtain of the Hindi film ecosystem, filmmaker Aryan Khan’s dark satirical series, The Bastards of Bollywood, is officially mapping out its second season.
The seven-part Netflix original series which beautifully combined brutal industry meta-commentary with razor-sharp parody instantly highjacked the number-one streaming position upon its release on September 18, 2025. Now, early production blueprints suggest that the high-stakes drama is gearing up to go on floors within the first quarter of 2027.
Rather than rushing a quick sequel to capitalize on the massive internet frenzy, the core creative group is purposefully adopting a measured, writing-first approach to protect the narrative’s integrity. Showrunner and director Aryan Khan is currently deep in development alongside co-writer Bilal Siddiqi, who served as a key architect behind the initial season’s sharp, expletive-laden humor.
Insiders close to the Red Chillies Entertainment production pipeline reveal that the current priority is meticulously crafting an authentic, unpredictable sophomore arc that avoids simply mimicking the first season’s shock value, expanding instead into even darker corners of the showbiz matrix.

While fans are eagerly parsing through internet rumors regarding potential celebrity cameos, veteran actor Rajat Bedi has officially dropped the first definitive confirmation of the show’s return.
“Yes, season two is absolutely happening. It is actively in the works right now. Season one was honestly just a teaser of what’s to come, and I am highly hopeful that global audiences are going to see a lot more of Jaraj Saxena’s schemes next time around.” — Rajat Bedi, Actor
Speaking exclusively to industry journalists, the Koi… Mil Gaya actor admitted he has been completely overwhelmed by the constant flood of international phone calls and appreciation messages since the project dropped. Expressing deep gratitude for the sudden U-turn his career has taken, Bedi shared that his family feels a collective sense of divine timing, noting that his role as the fading, calculating actor Jaraj was precisely the artistic breakthrough he had been waiting for after years away from the mainstream spotlight.
