Dahaad Season 1 Recap
Dahaad is one of the best detective shows on Amazon Prime Video. Anjali’s character and Sinha’s acting have won fans worldwide, leading to high demand for the second season. But before we move on to season 2 details, let us give you all a quick recap of what happened in the first season.
In season 1, sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati faces a troubling case where 27 women have gone missing across the state. Anjali discovers a common link among the cases, suspecting a serial killer may be at work. This shifts her focus from mysterious disappearances to a calculated scheme.
Anjali uncovers a pattern among the missing women. They were from lower castes, over 25 years old, unable to marry due to poverty and lack of dowry, and emotionally vulnerable. Tracing their phone records, she realizes they all died from cyanide poisoning the day after eloping with their partners.
Anand Swarnakar, a college lecturer, teaches underprivileged children. His wife Vandana has an affair with a coworker named Jai. Anand’s son Kapish finds a phone in his father’s van. Police traced it to Anand, leading to his interrogation. No evidence is found, but clues point to Anand’s younger brother Shiv, who is arrested. Anand flees to Goa with Mariam where he gets arrested by Anjali and her team.
Anjali questions Anand’s motives for killing innocent women. He justifies his actions, claiming the women deserved punishment. Despite her police role, he criticizes Anjali’s caste background and her relationship with her boss.
Dahaad Season 2 Release Date

Dahaad Season 2 Plot
The plot for Dahaad season 2 is mostly a secret. In October 2023, Zoya Akhtar confirmed that Reema Kagti had started writing the script, but details are limited.
