Streaming giant Netflix has renewed the Emmy-nominated show ‘Indian Matchmaking’ for its second season. Matchmaker Sima Taparia, who rose to fame with the series’ first season, will return to help people find their perfect matches.

‘Indian Matchmaking’sparked many controversies and debates after its debut. Meanwhile, Sima secured a nomination at the 73rd Emmy Awards under the ‘Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program’ category, ANI reported.

The Netflix show’s first season offered an inside look at the custom of mismatching in Indian cultures through a contemporary lens.

The 8-episode series based on arranged marriages had a huge ensemble of interesting personalities, starting with everyone’s favorite Sima. The famous line from the show, “Hello, I am Sima Taparia from Mumbai,” had gone viral on social media ever since the show was released.

While some people found the show regressive, it shed light on the bitter reality that is quite prevalent across India. It is hard to believe that the reality series was not designed as a comedy, with the awkward pauses, choice of music, and some of the dialogues that might leave viewers in splits.

The idea of matching kundlis (horoscopes), finding a girl who has ‘fair skin’ and a ‘good height’ or is ‘flexible’ in nature, and the matchmaker’s famous advice – ‘you will have to compromise’, makes up for most of the show.

The series is produced by Industrial Media’s The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), LLC. Executive producers are Aaron Saidman, Eli Holzman, Smriti Mundhara and J.C. Begley.

The rest of the details regarding the second season of  ‘Indian Matchmaking’ have been kept under wraps.

Meanwhile, the streaming platform is also bringing back another season of two other shows:‘The Circle’ and ‘The American Barbecue Showdown’.
