A new thriller series is keeping Netflix subscribers glued to the screen. Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web, which premiered in mid-January, is currently the most-watched non-English show on the platform, with 5.4 million views during the last week.
The Indian production is also #1 in nine countries where Netflix is available, and fans on social media seem excited for the show to continue. They might just get their wish.
Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t announced if Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web will return with additional episodes. Still, viewership numbers are solid, and the title isn’t listed as a limited series. While the future looks promising, it all comes down to whether the show’s popularity holds.
“Right now, we believe in doing an ending to every show. So there will be a closure. But if the audience pours in love, and they want to see more of this, then we would love to extend it,” director Raghav Jairath said.
As long as Netflix gives the green light, Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web season 2 could arrive in early 2027.

What Could Happen in Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web Season 2?
Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web follows Arjun Meena, a customs officer tasked with leading a specialized anti‑smuggling unit at Mumbai’s bustling international airport.
When the government activates a high‑stakes directive to disrupt a sophisticated global smuggling syndicate, Meena assembles a team of reinstated officers known for their integrity and tactical skill. The purpose? To intercept contraband before it crosses international borders. As the investigation deepens, the task force uncovers layers of betrayal within their own ranks, complicating matters.
The show consists of seven episodes, so it’s a fairly quick watch. By the time the end credits roll, viewers get a sense of closure, so you can trust the director’s promise. There are secret ploys, twists, and a dramatic confrontation that wraps up the case.
That said, we’re sure the writers can come up with a fresh problem Meena & company can tackle in Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web season 2. Another smuggling syndicate, perhaps?
