Dhadakpur is back — and it’s more chaotic than ever. Dupahiya Season 2 premiered on Prime Video on October 1, 2026, bringing the “Belgium of Bihar” back with a brand-new chapter of village comedy. Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane and Sparsh Shrivastava return, joined this season by Bhojpuri star Nirahua. Here’s everything to know about the release date, cast and story.
Dupahiya Season 2 Release Date
All 8 episodes of Dupahiya Season 2 premiered on Prime Video on October 1, 2026, with each episode running around 40 minutes. The new season arrived nearly a year and a half after Season 1 premiered on March 7, 2025 — and fans who waited for Dhadakpur’s return got the full season at once.
What Is Dupahiya Season 2 About?
Dhadakpur — the crime-free village famously called the “Belgium of Bihar” — has a problem. The village’s 25-year record of zero crime has been shattered, and chaos follows. This season brings a mobile tower madness that divides the village, while Roshni prepares for her SSC exams, Pushplata juggles village politics, and Bhugol finds himself at the centre of a scene at the Deewaar temple that you have to see to believe.
At its heart, the season is the same warm-hearted satire that made Season 1 a sleeper hit — small-town ambitions colliding with big dreams, and a family trying to hold it all together.
Dupahiya Season 2 Cast
The beloved ensemble returns, with one big new addition:
- Gajraj Rao as Banwari Jha
- Renuka Shahane as Pushplata Yadav
- Sparsh Shrivastava as Bhugol Jha
- Shivani Raghuvanshi as Roshni Jha
- Bhuvan Arora as Amavas
- Yashpal Sharma as Mithlesh Kushwaha
The season’s biggest new face is Dinesh Lal Yadav “Nirahua” as Pratham Kumar Sir, whose arrival shakes up Dhadakpur. The series is directed by Sonam Nair and created by Avinash Dwivedi, Chirag Garg, Salona Bains Joshi and Shubh Shivdasani for Bombay Film Cartel.
Season 1 Recap: How It All Started
Season 1 introduced Dhadakpur, a village in Bihar that hadn’t seen a single crime in 25 years — and was gunning for a record. Banwari Jha’s plans to buy a motorcycle for his son Bhugol spiralled into village-wide madness involving a stolen bike, a wedding, and Roshni’s dreams of a better life. The season ended with the family closer than ever — and Dhadakpur’s reputation intact.
What Critics Say
Early reviews have been warm, with most critics awarding the season around 3 out of 5 stars — praising the returning cast’s chemistry, Nirahua’s comic timing and the show’s gentle, feel-good satire, while noting the new season plays it safer than the first.
Why Watch Dupahiya Season 2
