New Delhi: The much-awaited trailer of the second season of Netflix’s International Emmy Awards-winning show 'Delhi Crime' was released on Monday. Shefali Shah is back as DCP Vartika Chaturvedi in the second season to solve another crime committed in the capital.
While the first season was based on the 2012 Delhi Gangrape Case, from the trailer it looks like the second season is based on the crimes committed by the infamous Kachcha Baniyan Gang.
The trailer focuses on the economic class divide in the city and the increase in crime because of that. The second season also brings back Neeti Singh, played by Rasika Duggal, and Bhupendra Singh, played by Rajesh Tailang.
Reprising her role as DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, Shefali shared, "I love every character I've played but DCP Vartika Chaturvedi will always be super special. And I'm so proud of the role and 'Delhi Crime' as a show. It's my favorite. And so is she. As an actor, it's fulfilling to portray roles like these."
Shedding light on what the second season has in store for the audience, the actress shared, "This season, the audience will see a human and vulnerable side of these seasoned police officers. I can proudly say this, Delhi Crime is a reflection of our passion for storytelling and the craft and we can't wait for the audience to watch it!"
The show has been produced by SK Global Entertainment, Golden Karavan, and Film Karavan.
'Delhi Crime: Season 2', like its predecessor, is inspired by true events and is helmed by showrunner and director Tanuj Chopra.
Speaking about his vision for season 2, Tanuj Chopra mentioned, "Inspired by true events, this season investigates the moral code of the Delhi Police. DCP Vartika Chaturvedi and team have evolved from the previous season. We'll see them weigh a lot of difficult choices... be it procedural or emotional."
'Delhi Crime: Season 2' will release on Netflix on August 26, 2022.
