After the resounding success of Mirzapur 2, the makers and streaming platform have now announced the renewal of the web series for a third season, reported the Hindustan Times. According to Amazon Prime, almost 50% of the audience finished watching the show’s second season in just two days. Not to mention, it also achieved the feat of becoming the most-watched show on the OTT platform within seven days of its release. Having said that, the show could’ve done without its Bollywood-inspired obsession of finding true love, especially since the death of the lovers of two of the main characters in season one had established Mirzapur as the anti-thesis of fairytales. But the winners of Mirzapur 2 remained the slut-shamed, undermined, and underrepresented women of season one, coupled with a new face.
