Mumbai, March 19 Streaming service Prime Video announced on Thursday the second seasons of "Dahaad", the critically acclaimed crime thriller starring Sonakshi Sinha, and "Call Me Bae", the breakout hit starring Ananya Panday.
The streaming service unveiled teasers for the two shows during its slate announcement press conference here.
The second season of "Dahaad", a crime thriller created by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, will feature Sinha alongside Gulshan Devaiah.
They will be joined by actors Vineet Kumar Singh, Sikandar Kher, Aisha Ahmed, Jyoti Kapoor, and Vidhaan Sharma.
"A missing twelve-year-old in a quiet Rajasthani town draws Sub-Inspector Anjali Meghwal (Sinha) into a hunt for a serial killer, investigating how power, patriarchy, and privilege can fuel horrific violence," reads the official logline for the second season.

The first season, which saw Sinha and Devaiah's cop characters investigating the mysterious deaths of multiple women suspected to be the work of a serial killer, was a critical hit after premiering on the platform in 2023.
In "Call Me Bae" season two, Panday's heiress-turned-journalist Bae returns with her own news show on air, but finds herself caught between her returning ex-husband and her boss, while a new character dubbed "Nayi Behen" threatens to disrupt her friendships.
