The eight-episode series will feature Kathir and Aishwarya Rajesh reprising their roles as the lead characters, alongside an exceptional ensemble cast that includes Lal, Saravanan, Gouri Kishan, Samyuktha Vishwanathan, Monisha Blessy, and others in pivotal roles.
The gripping story is set against the backdrop of the annual Ashtakaali festival in the fictional village of Kaalipattanam, Tamil Nadu.
The murder of a respected activist lawyer and social worker, Chellappa (Lal), sends shockwaves through the village, igniting a series of events that spiral into secrecy, crime, and conspiracy. Sub-Inspector Sakkarai (Kathir) is tasked with investigating the crime, while Nandini (Aishwarya Rajesh), still haunted by the past, faces a new set of unimaginable challenges.
What complicates the case further is the involvement of eight seemingly unrelated young women, who become the primary suspects in the murder.
As Sakkarai and Nandini delve deeper into the investigation, they are faced with hidden motives, personal vendettas, and a web of past actions, all of which threaten to consume them. Reflecting on the upcoming season, directors Bramma and Sarjun KM expressed their excitement about taking the story to new heights.
“After the phenomenal response to the first season of Suzhal–The Vortex, we set a high bar for ourselves to ensure the audience finds the second season even more captivating,” said Bramma in a press note.
He further added, “Pushkar and Gayatri have crafted an even more engrossing narrative, and as Kathir and Aishwarya deliver another spellbinding performance, our task as directors became much easier. We can’t wait for the audience to immerse themselves in the world of Suzhal–The Vortex once again.”
Suzhal–The Vortex season 2 will premiere on Prime Video in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide, available in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada with English subtitles. (ANI)
