Pankaj Tripathi headliner Criminal Justice to return for a fourth season

The fourth season of Pankaj Tripathi-led courtroom drama Criminal Justice was announced by the makers on Friday. The new instalment will mark the return of actor Pankaj as the uncanny lawyer Madhav Mishra.

In a statement, the actor said the new chapter will delve further into the life of Madhav and his ability to front complex cases with such ease and permanence.

"In the hall of fame of on-screen lawyers, I feel that Madhav Mishra has earned his place with Criminal Justice. I could not believe how much Madhav's character in the series resembled me. Every victory felt like my own and every defeat felt like a personal loss,” he said.

"I'm excited to announce the new season on Disney+ Hotstar and I hope the audiences continue to shower love on this season like they have done previously," the actor added.

Criminal Justice started with its first season in 2018 that was adapted from the 2008 British television series of the same name. The second season, titled Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors came out in 2020, followed by the third chapter, titled Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach, in 2022.

Season 4 of the series will stream soon on Disney+ Hotstar.
