Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is an Indian Netflix original Hindi-language drama created, produced, and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who adapted Moin Beg’s story into a screenplay.
The series takes place in the dazzling red-light district of Lahore, Punjab, where courtesans reign as the queens of power and influence. Two warring courtesans, Mallikajaan and Fareedan, are locked in a fight for the succession of Heeramandi, where the former places the hope and future on her daughter, who is faced with a choice: the love of one man or the adulation of the masses.

Since making its debut, Heeramandi has spent four weeks in the global top ten list for TV (Non-English), reaching as high as second place.
In the four weeks since its debut, Heeramandi has amassed 90,900,000 hours viewed globally, which equates to 12,400,000 views.
The series has failed to perform in the Americas, Europe, and most Eastern Asian countries; however, it has performed exceptionally well in countries in and around the Middle East and India. It remains the most popular current TV series in India and Pakistan.
Monika Shergill, Vice-President Content of Netflix India, said the following about the renewal.
“Sanjay Leela Bhansali has intricately woven magic to bring Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar to life. Watching audiences everywhere fall in love with this series — making it truly their own as a cultural phenomenon — has been hugely energizing and it thrills me to share that we will be back with Season 2.”

When can we expect to see Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar on Netflix?
There were no hints towards a release date in the season 2 renewal announcement for Heeramandi.
Unless production has already begun on the second season, the series could be waiting a while before it returns to Netflix.
The first season took twelve months to film, from June 2022 to June 2023. Eleven months later, the series debuted on Netflix.
Due to the length of the production schedule of the first season (pre/filming)post), If season two follows suit, we may not see Heeramandi: The Diamon of Bazaar return to Netflix until 2026.
