The crime drama Inspector Avinash is gearing up for its second season, with JioHotstar confirming the return of Randeep Hooda in the lead role. The upcoming chapter is a continuation of the story, set once again in 1990s Uttar Pradesh, following the titular Inspector Avinash Mishra as tested against new threats

Randeep Hooda, who reprises the titular role, described the evolution of his character, saying, “Avinash Mishra is not just a character, given the massive love for the character and the show in season 1, the return of the show has been eagerly awaited by the audiences. This season, you’ll see the character tested in ways that go beyond the badge; it’s more personal, more relentless, and far more dangerous. I’m excited for audiences to witness what’s coming.”
