Four years after the release of season one, Made in Heaven–a critically acclaimed and fan-favourite show, is back with a new season. Released in 2019, the show made Sobhita Dhulipala and Arjun Mathur a household name as they navigated the complicated and entertaining world of lavish weddings of the upper rich class orchestrated by the duo. The show skillfully showcases different characters, their beliefs and aspirations and their struggles as traditions and modernity clash amidst the background of the big fat Indian wedding. The show has been widely lauded, with Mathur bagging a nomination for Best Actor at the 2020 International Emmy Awards.

After much anticipation and waiting, season two is set to drop on 10th August on Amazon’s Prime Video. Making the announcement, actress Sobhita Dhulipala and the rest of the cast shared the official season two poster. The poster features the main cast and characters, including Dhulipala, Arjun Mathur, Jim Sarbh, Vijay Raaz and Kalki Koechlin, among others, along with some new faces like Mona Singh, Ishwak Singh and Trinetra Haldar.
Dhulipala shared the post with the caption, “Making it official, finally! Team Made In Heaven is ready to enter the shaadi business again,” while Mathur promises that “It’s twice as heavy on the drama, the scale, the cast, the grandeur and everything else you might want from it.”
In an official statement released by creators Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, the duo hopes that the newest season will get the same amount of love the show got for its first season. “Made in Heaven reflects the lives of upscale modern India and is narrated through the eyes of two wedding planners, set against the backdrop of quintessential Indian weddings and recurring social prejudices. Our hope is that the latest one is received with as much love as the last," they said.
While the plot details are kept under wraps right now, the newest season will go deeper into each character's life as they navigate the complexities of marriage. The seven-episode season is directed by Alankrita Shrivastava, Neeraj Ghaywan, Nitya Mehra, Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar. It is co-produced by Excel Media & Entertainment and Tiger Baby.
Before you binge-watch the new season as soon as it releases, here’s a little recap of what went down in season one. The nine-episode season focused on the work and personal lives of the lead characters Tara and Karan, played by Dhulipala and Mathur, who run a high-end wedding agency in Delhi. Themes of extra-marital affairs, same-sex relationships, deceiving for money and ingrained sexism are explored throughout the season.
It would be interesting to see how these two protagonists have evolved in the new season and what’s in store for them in their professional and personal lives after what they’ve been through in the first season.
