Dupahiya Season 2

Prime Video's village comedy Dupahiya came back for its second season on 1 October 2026. The first season premiered in March 2025. The new season returns to the fictional village of Dhadakpur with its full main cast, plus one notable new name: Bhojpuri star Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as Nirahua.

Story

Season one turned on a stolen motorbike meant as a dowry gift, in a village proud of 25 crime-free years. Season two finds new trouble. According to the official synopsis, Banwari's barren land is chosen for a mobile tower. Superstitious villagers then blame it for everything "from typhoid to tsunamis."

Meanwhile, Bhugol has found fame on the internet, though only as a female influencer. Roshni faces a seemingly impossible SSC exam, and Amavas offers her a shortcut along with his heart. Inspector Mithlesh suspects a scam. The trailer sums it up as one tower, one test and one ticking clock, with seven days to Roshni's exam.

Reviewing the season, The Hollywood Reporter India noted that each episode covers one day in the run-up to the exam.

Release and reception

Prime Video announced the 1 October premiere in September 2026 and released the official trailer on 21 September. Early reviews were mixed to positive. The Hollywood Reporter India headlined its review "All Grown Up And Free From The 'Panchayat' Baggage". Other reviewers felt the season was less focused than the first.

Where to watch

All episodes of Dupahiya Season 2 are streaming on Prime Video, which also has Season 1.

Who should watch

If you enjoyed the gentle satire of season one, or other small-town comedies on Indian streaming, this season keeps the same mix of local colour and comic chaos. Its exam-week deadline gives it a tighter frame.
