Confirmation of Season 2
According to Variety, Netflix has greenlit the second season of Heeramandi.

The dancers performed to songs from the show, concluding with the exciting news that Season 2 is on its way.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Insights
Speaking about the new season, Sanjay Leela Bhansali shared the immense effort behind creating the series. He stated, "It takes a lot to make a series. This one has taken a lot. After Gangubai, from that to now, every single day I have worked without a break. So the responsibility is huge on the series."
New Storyline for Season 2
Bhansali also revealed some details about the storyline for Season 2. He said, “In Heeramandi 2, the women now come from Lahore to the film world. They leave Lahore after the partition, and most of them settle in the Mumbai or Kolkata film industry. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for producers, not nawabs. So that’s the second season we are planning.”
