After three long years of fan theories and intense anticipation, the “artist” is officially returning to his workshop. Shahid Kapoor and the director duo Raj & DK confirmed on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, that Farzi Season 2 is officially in development.
The announcement coincided with the third anniversary of the show’s debut on Prime Video, which remains one of the most-watched Indian web series of all time.
The “Round 2” Announcement
The confirmation came through a series of coordinated social media posts that sent the internet into a frenzy:
- The Creators’ Teaser: Raj & DK shared a striking image of a massive stack of counterfeit currency with a stencil-style font overlay reading, “Round 2 in progress.” Their caption simply read: “Second batch… WIP #Farzi.”
- Shahid’s Confirmation: Reprising his role as the master “faker” Sunny, Shahid shared a selfie with the directors on his Instagram Stories, captioned: “The fakers are back at it.”
- The Look: This follows a “soft reveal” from earlier this month where Shahid debuted a fresh haircut identical to Sunny’s Season 1 look, teasing, “SUNNY days back soon…”
Production & Release Timeline
While fans are ready to binge-watch immediately, the “slow-burn” nature of high-quality production remains:
- Filming Start: Principal photography is reportedly scheduled to commence in March 2026.
- Release Window: Given the extensive post-production requirements—including dubbing into over 35 languages for a global release in 200 countries—industry experts anticipate a release in late 2026 or early 2027.
- The Stakes: Season 2 is rumored to move beyond physical printing, potentially exploring crypto-fraud and digital counterfeiting.
The Returning Ensemble
The core cast that made the first season a “certified banger” is expected to return:
- Shahid Kapoor as Sunny (The Artist)
- Vijay Sethupathi as Michael Vedanayagam
- Bhuvan Arora as Firoz
- Raashii Khanna as Megha Vyas
- Kay Kay Menon as Mansoor Dalal (despite the fiery Season 1 finale)
