Delhi Crime season 2 trailer OUT: Shefali Shah is back with season two of her critically-acclaimed series, a project that gave her the 'super special' character of DCP Vartika Chaturvedi. The official trailer of the Netflix thriller was released on Monday, which sees DCP Vartika Chaturvedi (Shah) spearhead another crucial investigation with her team -- newly promoted Neeti Singh (Rasika Duggal) and Vartika's right-hand man Bhupendra Singh aka Bhupi (Rajesh Tailang).
The Delhi Police is now searching for a serial killer even as they struggle with less police staff and increasing crime.
Shah said Delhi Crime season 2's sophomore chapter will explore the "human and vulnerable side" of its characters.
"I love every character I’ve played but DCP Vartika Chaturvedi will always be super special. And I’m so proud of the role and 'Delhi Crime' as a show. It’s my favorite. And so is she. As an actor, it's fulfilling to portray roles like these. This season, the audience will see a human and vulnerable side of these seasoned police officers. I can proudly say this, 'Delhi Crime' is a reflection of our passion for storytelling and the craft and we can't wait for the audience to watch it," the 49-year-old actress said.
The second season, which will debut on Netflix on August 26, follows a series of ghastly murders in Delhi that keeps Chaturvedi and her team on their toes.
"With escalating public fear and the media demanding answers, Madam Sir is forced to make some tough choices. Will the Delhi Police force manage to track down these ruthless criminals in time?" the official plotline for season two read.
