Here's a trailer breakdown.
Why does this story matter?
The Netflix show is directed by National Award-winning director Soumendra Padhi and penned by Trishant Srivastava. Season 1 of Jamtara aired back in January 2020 and became an instant hit among critics and audiences for its real and unfiltered narrative. Based on true incidents, the series also created awareness against phishing scams that exist in the country ensnaring many people each year.

Director Padhi gave insight into Season 2's premise
Director Padhi talked about the plot and said, "Over the last few years, we've seen a huge uptick in the number of phishing scams. All of us at some point have received a call asking for our OTP number or CVV code." He mentioned the Jamtara case where a group of youngsters pulled off the scam using a mobile address book and quick dial.
Season 2 will have David and Goliath-like faceoff
"This season we'll witness our favorites fight back much like David, trying to take on Goliath (Bhan)," the director informed. "Innovating and sharpening their cyber fraud plans, akin to sand, falls through their hands, no matter how they try to control it. As the rivalries intensify, the frauds will as well," he added. Season 2 of Jamtara will stream on Netflix from September 23.
