Crime, power, and family betrayals return with a vengeance as ‘Rana Naidu’ gears up for its highly-anticipated second season, set to premiere on Netflix on June 13. The hit show, starring Rana Daggubati and Venkatesh Daggubati, will dive deeper into the complex world of familial dysfunction, high-stakes power play and personal reckoning.

Netflix confirmed the release date with a punchy teaser on social media, writing, “Jab baat parivaar ki ho, Rana harr line cross karega… Watch Rana Naidu Season 2, out 13 June, only on Netflix.” The first season, which dropped in April 2023, was one of Netflix India’s breakout hits, and the follow-up promises to deliver even more drama, betrayals, and explosive confrontations.

‘Rana Naidu’ is produced by Sunder Aaron under Locomotive Global and created by Karan Anshuman. The directorial reins are shared by Karan Anshuman, Suparn S. Varma, and Abhay Chopra. The writing team includes Karan Anshuman, Ryan Soares, Karmanya Ahuja, Ananya Mody, Karan Gour, and Vaibhav Vishal — a powerhouse collective steering the intense narrative forward.

Season two brings back a formidable cast including Rana Daggubati, Venkatesh Daggubati, Surveen Chawla, Sushant Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Arjun Rampal and Dino Morea. The show also marks the OTT debut of Kriti Kharbanda, who steps into a pivotal, layered role in the series.

Speaking about her digital debut, Kriti said, “I am thrilled to be a part of Rana Naidu Season 2. This role is unlike anything I’ve done before, and it has allowed me to explore a darker, more complex character.”

Inspired by the acclaimed 2013 American crime drama ‘Ray Donovan’, ‘Rana Naidu’ has been tailored for Indian audiences.
