Dhadakpur, India’s once self-proclaimed “crime-free village,” is back in business, and the trailer for Dupahiya Season 2 confirms that nothing about that claim has changed. Amazon Prime Video dropped the season 2 trailer on September 21, 2026, bringing back Banwari Jha’s family and the entire ensemble for a fresh round of small-town chaos, this time centred on a mobile phone tower that turns into the village’s latest obsession.
The show, which became a sleeper hit for Prime Video Hindi originals with its first season, returns with director Sonam Nair back at the helm and the same blend of rural comedy, superstition and heart that built its fandom. Dupahiya Season 2 is part of Prime Video India’s packed 2026 content slate, which includes several other returning fan favourites this year.

What Happens in Dupahiya Season 2?
The new season picks up right where the first left off. Banwari’s barren land becomes the proposed site for a new mobile tower, and the announcement sets off a wave of rumours and superstition across Dhadakpur. As villagers debate radiation myths, property disputes and old grudges resurface, the tower becomes a stand-in for the show’s larger theme: how a small community reacts when the outside world comes knocking.
Meanwhile, Roshini is shown preparing for her SSC exam with Amavas by her side, adding a coming-of-age subplot alongside the village-wide farce. The trailer promises the same eccentric humour and warmth that defined season one, just with higher stakes and a wider cast of characters causing trouble.
Cast and Crew
Gajraj Rao and Renuka Shahane reprise their roles as Banwari Jha and Pushplata, joined by returning cast members Sparsh Shrivastava, Bhuvan Arora, Shivani Raghuvanshi and Yashpal Sharma. Bhojpuri star Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as Nirahua, joins the cast this season, adding a new face to the Dhadakpur universe.
The series is directed by Sonam Nair, created and produced by Salona Bains Joshi and Shubh Shivdasani under Bombay Film Cartel LLP, with Avinash Dwivedi and Chirag Garg credited as writers.

Why Dupahiya Struck a Chord
Part of Dupahiya’s appeal is how it grounds its comedy in specific, recognisable small-town India: caste equations, village politics and generational tension are all played for laughs without losing their texture. Gajraj Rao has pointed to that relatability as central to the show’s success, noting that Dhadakpur’s struggles feel familiar whether viewers live in a village, a metro, or outside India entirely.
With season one’s cult following now well established, expectations for the follow-up are high, and the trailer suggests the show isn’t dialing back the chaos to meet them. Dupahiya Season 2 will be available to stream on Prime Video starting October 1, 2026.
