On Tuesday, Prime Video announced that the second season of Suzhal – The Vortex will premiere on the streamer on February 28. Kathir and Aishwarya Rajesh are all set to reprise their roles from the first season of the series.
Suzhal 2 also stars Lal, Saravanan, Gouri Kishan, Monisha Blessy, Samyuktha Vishwanathan, Shrisha, Abhirami Bose, Nikhila Sankar, Rini, Kalaivani Bhaskar, and Ashwini Nambiar in pivotal roles, along with Manjima Mohan and Kayal Chandran making special appearances.
The second season of Suzhal is set against the backdrop of the Ashtakaali festival, an annual festival held in the fictional village of Kaalipattanam in Tamil Nadu. Written and created by Pushkar and Gayatri, the series is directed by Sarjun KM and Bramma. The series is backed by Wallwatcher Films.
The second season picks up from the momentous climax of season one, with Nandini (Aishwarya) staring at an uncertain future in prison, while Sakkarai (Kathir) reaches a mystifying village with a sinister history. But an unexpected murder casts a dark shadow on the village and its natives, spreading far and wide.
Speaking about the upcoming season, Pushkar and Gayatri said in a press note, “The love and adulation that the first season of Suzhal—The Vortex received, followed by Vadhandhi—The Fable of Velonie, our second collaboration which garnered widespread acclaim as well, is a testament to how streaming has paved the way for local stories with a compelling narrative across formats, region- and language-agnostic. We crafted the second season that further expands the world of Suzhal—The Vortex, delving deeper into an even darker, mysterious, and absorbing crime that is entangled with the lives of the natives of a fictional village and the visually vibrant festival of Ashtakaali. Under the masterful direction of Bramma and Sarjun, the spectacular performances by Kathir, Aishwarya, and Lal, and the ensemble cast that includes an eclectic mix of experienced and fresh talent, the series highlights the versatility of local storytelling that can appeal to a wider audience.”
Season 1 of Suzhal is currently available to stream on Prime Video.
