Sacred Games 2 is here, or at least its trailer and release date. That is the verdict of Twitter as Netflix teased a big announcement in 14 days. “Calendar nikaal. Tareekh likh le. 14 din mein kuch bada hone wala hai (Bring out the calender, write down this date. Something big is going to happen in 14 days),” read a tweet on Netflix India’s Twitter handle in a style that belongs to Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Sacred Games character Ganesh Gaitonde.
'Sacred Games 2' to premiere on August 15

Earlier, the actor had told Hindustan Times in an interview, “It should arrive between June and August. You will forget the first season after watching the second season.”
Gaitonde is killed in the first episode of the series, and the first season tells his story in flashback as Saif’s Sartaj Singh tries to save Mumbai from annihilation. Season two will further explore his tale, and his relationship with Pankaj Tripathi’s character, Guruji. Tripathi will be seen in a more prominent role in the upcoming season along with Elnaaz Norouzi, who was last seen visiting Gaitonde in jail. Several new characters will be introduced in season two.
Sacred Season 2 is being co-directed by Gangs of Wasseypur director Anurag Kashyap and Masaan’s Neeraj Ghaywan. Netflix had earlier revealed that two out of three viewers of the show came from outside India.
