With theatrical releases and OTT platforms competing for audience attention, streaming services are increasingly focusing on diverse genres to attract viewers looking for fresh weekend entertainment

The series ‘Legends’ is returning for a second season, bringing the show back for another chapter after its first instalment. The renewal is the latest development for the series, which is set to continue its story with a new season.

The announcement comes as audiences increasingly follow returning international series across streaming and television platforms. However, further details about the second season, including its release date, episode count and complete cast, are expected to be revealed separately.

‘Legends’ Season 2: What We Know

The second season will continue the show's universe and give the makers an opportunity to expand on the story introduced in the first season.

At present, details surrounding the new season remain limited. Information about the production schedule, storyline and returning cast members will be important developments for viewers waiting for the follow-up.

The renewal also signals that the series has secured another season after its first run, keeping the story open for further developments.

Release Date and Cast

A confirmed release date for ‘Legends’ Season 2 has not been provided in the information currently available.

Similarly, details about which members of the original cast will return and whether new actors will join the series have not been fully disclosed.

Fans can therefore expect more announcements from the makers as production progresses.

What to Expect Next

The second season is expected to build on the foundation established by the first season. Details about the plot and characters will become clearer once the makers release additional information.

For now, the confirmed development is that ‘Legends’ will return for Season 2, keeping the series alive for another chapter.

The actor said he encountered fraudulent casting agencies while he was still in college. Responding to casting calls posted on social media, he attended auditions where aspiring actors were allegedly offered different "packages" costing ₹10,000, ₹15,000 and ₹20,000. He was told that creating a portfolio and obtaining a card were mandatory before any work could be offered.

"It happened to me twice. That's when I realised it wasn't an audition but a way to extract money from newcomers," Dhaval said, urging aspiring actors never to pay for auditions. According to him, legitimate casting directors do not ask artists for money in exchange for roles.

Dhaval, who is the brother of actor Mrunal Thakur, said his career changed after fellow actors introduced him to genuine casting groups, where he began receiving authentic audition opportunities. He advised newcomers to remain cautious of fraudulent offers circulating on social media and to verify the credibility of casting agencies before responding.

The interview comes as Thukra Ke Mera Pyaar Season 2 continues to attract viewers on OTT. Dhaval plays Kuldeep Kumar, while Sanchita Basu essays the role of Shanvika Chauhan. Both actors discussed their journey with the series, their struggles before entering the industry and the bond they developed during filming.

Sanchita revealed that acting was never part of her original career plans. She began creating short videos while studying in Class 9, despite receiving very few views initially. A viral video eventually changed her fortunes, leading to an unexpected offer for a Telugu film.

She admitted that her first reaction was disbelief, assuming the offer was fake because of the growing number of fraudulent calls in the industry. It was only after her manager and casting director assured her of its authenticity that she accepted the project.

Interestingly, Sanchita disclosed that the film had already been completed with another actress before the makers decided to cast a fresh face and reshoot the entire project with her. At the time, she was in Class 11 and balanced film shoots in Hyderabad with her school examinations back home in Bhagalpur.

Reflecting on their first meeting, both actors said they met during the audition process before building a friendship through workshops and script-reading sessions. They believe that mutual understanding helped strengthen their on-screen chemistry across the two seasons of the series.

Sharing memorable moments from the shoot, Sanchita recalled learning to ride a motorcycle for the first season and falling several times during practice. Dhaval joked that the entire crew remained alert whenever bike sequences were scheduled because everyone knew she was still learning.

Asked what they had learned from each other, Sanchita credited Dhaval for teaching her to understand the emotional requirement of every scene before performing it. Dhaval, meanwhile, praised Sanchita's dedication and said he learned how to manage social media professionally after watching her independently create, edit and publish content even on off days.

The actors also spoke about handling rejection in real life. Dhaval said he does not believe in revenge and prefers to forgive and move on, while Sanchita echoed a similar sentiment, saying she would rather accept disappointment than respond with anger.

Looking ahead, Sanchita confirmed that she is working on a new Telugu film, with an official announcement expected soon. Dhaval revealed that he has completed an independent film and hinted at more projects lined up for release later this year.

When asked about the possibility of a third season of Thukra Ke Mera Pyaar, both actors remained non-committal, thanking audiences for the overwhelming response to the first two seasons and asking viewers to continue supporting the series as new episodes are released.

After three seasons built around the criminal underworld and political dynamics of India's heartland, ZEE5 has officially confirmed Rangbaaz Season 4, with actor Mohit Raina stepping into the lead role. Directed by Ranjan Chandel, the new season promises a bigger canvas and higher stakes than its predecessors, continuing the franchise's signature blend of crime, politics and power.

Raina spoke about joining the franchise, saying Rangbaaz has built a strong legacy through storiesrooted in ambition and the tangled realities of India's socio-political landscape. He said what makes this season particularly compelling is its scale — bolder crime, higher stakes than before — and pointed to his character's arc as the part that drew him in most: the transformation from a young man full of ideals into someone who commands fear and power. He described the season overall as a gritty, layered and deeply human story.

Details on the plot itself remain under wraps, with ZEE5 confirming only that the new installment will explore deeper themes of ambition, survival, and India's socio-political landscape, continuing the franchise's pattern of drawing on stories inspired by real events. Previous seasons built their audience through raw, grounded portrayals of the crime-politics nexus, earning both critical and viewer acclaim across earlier instalments featuring actors like Saqib Saleem, Tigmanshu Dhulia and Aahana Kumra.

Raina's casting marks a significant shift for the franchise. Known for his work across television and digital platforms, he now takes on one of ZEE5's most recognised original properties, and his casting has already stirred curiosity among longtime fans eager to see his interpretation of the show's intense, morally murky world.

An official release date hasn't been announced yet. ZEE5 has confirmed only that the season is coming "soon," with a full trailer or additional promotional material expected to follow in the coming weeks.
