The release date of season 3 of Delhi Crime is out. The makers took to social media on Thursday to share a release date announcement video of the upcoming season. The Emmy Award-winning series will return to Netflix on November 13.
Directed by Tanuj Chopra, the new season will see Shefali Shah return in the role of DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, along with Rasika Dugal, Rajesh Tailang, Jaya Bhattacharya and Anuraag Arora, reprising their roles.
Set around the world of human trafficking, Shefali’s Vartika will be facing off against ‘queenpin’ ‘Badi didi’, played by Huma Qureshi. The show will also feature Sayani Gupta, Mita Vasisht, Kelly Dorji and Anshumaan Pushkar.
The date announcement video gives a blink-and-miss look into the world of Delhi Crime season 3. Vartika is on the lookout for a certain ‘Badi didi’ who is the spider in the web of women trafficking. Huma is seen briefly, giving a sinister smile.
Shefali , reprising her role as DCP Vartika , said, “Returning as Madam Sir always feels deeply personal. Her significance, both to me and in today’s times, has only grown stronger in my eyes. Vartika is fighting an enemy that not only crosses borders, but also exists in the shadow of everyday society. Human trafficking isn’t the act of a few; it’s the symptom of a society that looks the other way.”
Huma , joining the franchise as Meena aka ‘Badi didi’, added, “Playing a negative role, especially of a character like Meena, was a powerful yet unsettling experience. She’s shaped by trauma, yet wields immense control; she’s a woman who’s both victim and perpetrator. That’s what drew me to Delhi Crime: its honesty.”
