Summary
Black Warrant is the latest Indian crime thriller series, boasting deep characters and some solid themes throughout. This one has been quite the harrowing ride over the 7 episodes and by its conclusion, you may be desperate for more.
Well, if you’ve finished watching this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Black Warrant about?
At the center of all this is Sunil Kumar Gupta, a fresh-faced officer determined to make a change in this prison as a new officer. But of course, that’s easier said than done. It doesn’t take long for Sunil to realize what he’s got himself in for, as he gets acquainted with life as a prison guard, and tries to do the right thing in the wake of overwhelming corruption.
The catalyst for a lot of the drama that follows stems from a simple and seemingly innocuous case involving a snake. From here, the rippling effects of Sunil’s choice causes widespread issues to plague the prison, something that DSP Rajesh Tomar is quick to try and stop from spreading.
The hierarchy of the prison is explained in episode 1 and essentially breaks down to an ongoing rivalry between gangs. The Tyagi’s are the ones who run the show, with Sunny as their leader. They openly control and run the drug trade behind bars, and are directly responsible for the flow of money into the prison too.
However, the Haddi gang, run by Anil Rana, control the alcohol and they’ve risen through the ranks quite quickly inside the prison as the new kids on the block. They have their eyes on the Tyagi’s turf and contemplate trying to take it from them – with force if need be.
Stuck in the middle of this are the Sardar Gang, run by Gurtej Singh whom we learn more about as the series progresses.
Has Black Warrant been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Black Warrant has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made. So far, Black Warrant has had a really good reaction online from critics and audiences alike, with many pointing out the deep characters and solid plotting throughout.
Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we’re predicting that this will be renewed for a second season. Netflix are usually much kinder on their international offerings and given Sacred Games also got a second season (which is created by the same man who worked on this too!) then the cliffhanger ending opens the door for more story.
However, we could be completely wrong too, although that does seem very unlikely in this case.
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about Black Warrant season 2 at this point given Netflix haven’t officially announced whether another series is coming. However, if it is we can expect a similar 7 episode structure and a lot of the same characters to return. It’s likely the format would be akin to a cat and mouse chase as Sunil sets to work attempting to capture Charles, who ended the season by escaping from prison.
However, this is all speculation at this point so we’ll have to wait and see what the official word is on this one! Either way, we’ll be sure to update this page when more information becomes available.
