Mumbai: Netflix has renewed Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ for a second season.
The OYTT platform said that since its release on 1 May, the first season of ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ within the first week of its launch climbed Netflix’s Top 10 TV (Non-English) list in 43 countries. It became the most-viewed Indian series globally. The series has been reigning in the number one spot in the India Top 10 list since its launch. The show Netflix explains continues to have a resounding cultural impact, with fans creating reels and posts inspired by Mallikajaan and Fareedan’s dialogues, Bibbojaan’s walk of seduction, soulful musical renditions of “Sakal Ban” and “Ek Baar Dekh Leejiye,” and costume recreations.
At Carter Road, Mumbai, a flash mob of 100 dancers adorned in anarkalis (a traditional Indian gown) and ghungroos (anklets) danced to a medley of songs from the series in a celebration of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. As the audience joined in singing along, the dancers delivered the news about season two.
Bhansali said, “I’m blessed by the love and appreciation for Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. It’s been a joy to see the show resonate with audiences worldwide, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner than Netflix. I’m happy to announce that we’ll be back with season 2!”
Monika Shergill, VP content, Netflix India said, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali has intricately woven magic to bring Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar to life. Watching audiences everywhere fall in love with this series — making it truly their own as a cultural phenomenon — has been hugely energizing and it thrills me to share that we will be back with season two.”
