The release date of Paatal Lok season 2 has been unveiled. The Sudip Sharma creation, starring Jaideep Ahlawat and Ishwak Singh, will start streaming on Prime Video from January 17. The makers took to Instagram on Monday to share a new poster of the series and also announce the release date.

The poster shows Jaideep’s character Hathi Ram Chaudhary, his face half covered with a goat’s, with the animal’s horns on his head. An inferno is blaming in the background. In Christian faith, Satan is portrayed as a goat and the imagery goes with the theme of the upcoming season. “Gates open this new year #PaatalLokOnPrime, New season, Jan 17,” reads the caption.

The first season of Paatal Lok came out in 2020 and was created by Sudip Sharma and directed by Avinash Arun along with Prosit Roy. It traced the story of four killers who were tasked to kill a journalist and also delved into the life of Hathi Ram Chaudhary, a junior cop assigned to the case. The season was inspired by Tarun Tejpal’s book The Story of My Assassins. It also starred Gul Panag, Abhishek Banerjee, Swastika Mukerjee and Neeraj Kabi among others.
