Kaala Paani Season 2 Update: The critically acclaimed survival drama thriller television series made its debut in 2023 on Netflix and captivated viewers upon its release. The show is set against the backdrop of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where a mysterious illness wreaks havoc as people struggle to survive and race for a cure. Following the positive reception of Season 1, the makers officially announced Season 2 in the same year. However, amid the buzz surrounding Kaala Paani Season 2, the latest reports now suggest that the OTT giant has scrapped the upcoming season.
The cancellation of the show reports comes just days before the team of Kaala Paani season 2 was scheduled to begin pre-production on May 1st. The exact reasons behind axing the show are unclear but the primary reason is budgetary constraints as cited by several reports.
As per a source quoted by PeepingMoon, claimed, "The show required a substantial budget to match the envisioned scale, but Netflix is believed to have declined to approve the proposed funding. Sameer Saxena and his team tried to convince the Netflix team and were in discussions with them over budget for over a month, but they couldn’t reach a consensus, eventually shelving the project. Saxena is said to have informed the cast and crew about the cancellation just yesterday."
