“Without a doubt, there will be a second season for Kerala Crime Files. However, the current story will conclude with Season 1, and the subsequent season will not continue from where it left off. We are presently engaged in discussions for a potential follow-up season, and I already have a small story idea, which needs to be developed further. Once I get a comprehensive idea, we will proceed further and the next installment of Kerala Crime Files will likely arrive next year,” Ahammed said during an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com.
Starring Aju Varghese and Lal in pivotal roles, Season 1 of KCF focuses on a case surrounding the death of a sex worker in a lodge. “As the story unfolds, a team of five police officers, including a circle inspector and a sub-inspector, are entrusted with the task of investigating the incident and solving the case within a specific timeframe,” says Ahammed Khabeer.
“Although the story takes place in the backdrop of Kerala, the making and storytelling of Kerala Crime Files are at par with popular web series in India,” producer Rahul Riji Nair had noted in a statement issued to the media earlier.
“With Kerala Crime Files, we embark on an exciting journey with original Malayalam content by working with incredible talents like Lal and Aju Varghese and many more who are portraying roles and characters that have never been seen before. With our new show, we are starting a journey that will offer the audience in the Malayalam market a fresh, new content experience,” Krishnan Kutty, Head – Business and Content for Disney Star (South India and Maharashtra), told the media.
