Amazon MX Player has dropped the official trailer for the second instalment of its much-loved series ‘Half CA’, giving audiences a closer glimpse into the lives of Archie and Niraj as they battle their toughest challenges yet. Picking up from where the first season ended, the show continues to follow Archie Mehta as she juggles her rigorous studies with a demanding three-year articleship, while Niraj Goyal prepares for one last attempt at the all-important CA final exam — a journey further complicated by the return of someone from his past.

In a press release, Amazon MX Player said the new season promises to bring authenticity and relatability to every frame, with Ahsaas Channa, Prit Kamani, Gyanendra Tripathi, Aishwarya Ojha, Anmol Kajani, and Rohan Joshi leading the cast. Produced by The Viral Fever (TVF), ‘Half CA’ S2 has been written by Tatsat Pandey, Harish Peddinti, and Khushbu Baid, and directed by Pratish Mehta.

The trailer sets the tone for a realistic portrayal of what aspiring Chartered Accountants call the most demanding stretch of their journey — balancing professional deadlines, preparation for exams, and inevitable personal sacrifices. While Archie navigates the grind of her articleship, Niraj faces a make-or-break moment in his academic career. For both characters, the season is about resilience, determination, and the belief to keep moving forward.

Amogh Dusad, Head of Content, Amazon MX Player, said, “At Amazon MX Player, we are committed to bringing stories that reflect the dreams, struggles, and triumphs of everyday India. Half CA is one such story — a grounded, emotionally rich portrayal of ambition, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of goals. Season 1 struck a chord with audiences across the country, and in Season 2, we delve deeper into the characters’ lives, exploring bigger hurdles and heartfelt moments.”

Echoing this, Vijay Koshy, President of The Viral Fever, added, “The CA world is aspirational, yet rarely shown with this level of honesty. In Half CA Season 2, Archie and Niraj face higher stakes and tougher choices, making their journeys even more gripping. Partnering with Amazon MX Player allows us to share this story with millions across India, without putting it behind a paywall.”

Cast members also opened up about their characters. Ahsaas Channa, who plays Archie, said Season 2 dives deeper into the exhaustion, pressure, and self-doubt that come with the CA grind. “But at its heart, it’s about that unwavering spark to keep pushing forward. I hope this season reminds CA students that they’re not fighting that battle alone,” she said. Meanwhile, Gyanendra Tripathi, returning as Niraj, explained, “This season captures not just the academic grind, but the friendships, the loneliness, and the courage it takes to get back up each time you fall.”

‘Half CA’ S2 will premiere for free from August 27 on Amazon MX Player. Viewers can stream it via the MX Player app on mobile and Connected TVs, as well as on the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Google TV, Xiaomi TV, Fire TV, and Airtel Xtreme.
