Since its release on May 1, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar has taken the world by storm. Within the first week of its launch, it swiftly climbed Netflix’s Top 10 TV (Non-English) list in 43 countries, becoming 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 continues to have a resounding cultural impact, with fans creating reels and posts inspired by Mallikajaan’s and Fareedan’s dialogues, Bibbojaan’s walk of seduction, soulful musical renditions of Sakal ban and Ek baar dekh leejiye and stunning costume recreations.

The overwhelming fan love for Season 1 has made Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar an immense success, and Netflix India is delighted to announce that the series will return for Season 2!

At Carter Road, Mumbai, a flash mob of 100 dancers adorned in sparkling anarkalis (traditional Indian gowns) and ghungroos (anklets) danced to a medley of songs from the series in a celebration of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic. As the audience joined in singing along, the dancers delivered the exciting news about Season 2, leaving everyone delighted.

Bhansali expressed his gratitude for the success of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, saying, “I’m blessed by the love and appreciation. 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, Vice-President Content, Netflix India, added, “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 2.”

What’s in store for the heeras of Heeramandi? The anticipation is palpable as Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar prepares to return with greater intensity and powerful storytelling.

Interestingly, this will be the first Sanjay Leela Bhansali project ever to have a sequel—something that none of his directorial ventures or productions have had in over 28 years of filmmaking, though we had heard unconfirmed buzz of a sequel for his production, Rowdy Rathore.
