A no-holds-barred unpredictable crime thriller – Watch Abhay 2 now

As we saw in Season 1, cannibalism, child abuse, honeytraps, chopped heads, nothing is too dark for the edgy web series, a ZEE5 Original directed by Ken Ghosh and inspired by true events. While Kemmu reprises his role of a cop with a sharp sense of justice, Kapoor, Panday and Bag set the tone for what’s ahead in this no-holds-barred unpredictable crime thriller, sinking their teeth into the deliciously negative roles. The star lineup also features seasoned actors such as Asha Negi, Raghav Juyal and Indraneil Sengupta.

In the first season, we were introduced to Abhay Pratap Singh (Kemmu), a cop in the UP state Special Task Force, who is not afraid to play with fire in his #TheRoadToJustice and possesses the unique ability to get into the mind of a criminal. We see his softer side as a single dad in the first episode, when he prepares tomato soup for his son, but even then, there is a threat lurking in the background. In the new season, his personal life seems more stable, but it’s just the calm before the storm as Kapoor’s character enters to send everything into a tailspin. As the trailer shows, Abhay has to play by the rules of a prisoner and criminal mastermind (Kapoor), if he wants to free kids who have been kidnapped.
