In exciting news for fans of heartwarming Indian content, the popular family comedy series 'Single Papa' starring Kunal Kemmu has been officially renewed for a second season on Netflix. The announcement comes on the heels of the show's remarkable reception, having trended globally and secured the number one spot in India shortly after its release.
Audience Love Drives Season 2 Renewal
Executive Producer Shashank Khaitan revealed that the story of the Gehlot family was always envisioned as a long-form narrative. The overwhelming positive response from viewers, who connected deeply with characters like baby Amul and Gaurav Gehlot, made the decision for a new chapter inevitable. Khaitan emphasized that the partnership with Netflix was crucial in building this authentic world, and Season 2 will delve deeper into the family's relationships, challenges, and joyful moments.
Tanya Bami, Series Head at Netflix India, expressed how touched the team was by the audience's reaction. She highlighted that seeing people laugh, feel, and engage in conversations about parenting, adoption, and love sparked by the show was incredibly meaningful. The series' rapid climb to the top of the charts in India and its sustained global trend for two weeks underscore the powerful connection forged by its honest storytelling.
What is 'Single Papa' About?
The series follows the journey of Gaurav Gehlot, played by Kunal Kemmu, a lovable but emotionally immature man whose life takes a dramatic turn. Shortly after his divorce, he makes the sudden and unexpected decision to adopt a baby. This move leaves his entire family, the Gehlots, in a state of shock and humorous disbelief, as they grapple with how someone who can barely keep track of his own socks plans to raise a child.
The ensemble cast features a talented lineup including Prajakta Koli, Manoj Pahwa, Ayesha Raza, Neha Dhupia, Suhail Nayyar, Dayanand Shetty, Aisha Ahmed, Dhruv Rathee, and Isha Talwar. Their performances bring to life the chaotic and endearing 'kalesh' (drama) that ensues within the family.
