The trailer of Aspirants Season 2 was unveiled on Thursday, featuring the "tripod" trio of Abhilash (Naveen Kasturia), SK (Abhilash Thapliyal), and Guri (Shivankit Singh Parihar). In the new season, the friendship of the trio will be tested as they brace the winds of change while navigating through struggles and challenges thrown at them. Here's all to know about the upcoming season.
Why does this story matter?
The first season of Aspirants premiered in April 2021. Spread over a total of five episodes, the coming-of-age web series throws light on the lives of UPSC aspirants. From its content to its performances, the series received a positive response. Following its success, the makers announced its sequel in October with the majority of the cast reprising their roles.
When career aspirations collide with friendship
The three friends are no longer the UPSC aspirants they were in the first season. While Abhilash has now become an IAS officer, SK is looking at a career in coaching, and Guri continues to struggle with his own set of problems. Things go messy when their career aspirations collide with their friendship. The season dives deep into the UPSC and the administrative worlds.
