Here's good news for the fans of TVF aka The Viral Fever! After the second season of Hostel Daze that premiered last month on Amazon Prime Video to rave reviews, the Indian web content company is all set to treat audiences with its yet another much-awaited web show. Peepingmoon.com has exclusively learned that TVF's next offering will be the highly anticipated second season of Kota Factory that will premiere in September on the streaming giant Netflix. The makers are expected to announce it officially once the exact premiere date is locked.
Kota Factory Season 2 is finally coming out 28 months after the first season that dropped on YouTube in April 2019. The five-episode series struck a chord with the audience and was an instant hit on the web courtesy of its relatable characters and calming visual aesthetic. The show that captures the melancholic life of Indian students who prepare for IIT entrance exams depicted this universe through the eyes of Vaibhav Pandey, a vulnerable teenager, and Jeetu Bhaiya, a modern-day Dronacharya. The second season will continue Vaibhav's story and show how his love and academic life takes another leap. While the first season pretty much revolved around friendship and love life, the upcoming installment will see Vaibhav move onto greener pastures, leaving behind Jeetu Bhaiya, his friends, and his love interest.
Billed as India's first black-and-white web series, Kota Factory's new season will have the same principal cast — Mayur More as Vaibhav, Jitendra Kumar as Jeetu Bhaiya, Alam Khan as Uday Gupta, Ranjan Raj as Balmukund Meenal, Ahsaas Channa as Sivangi Ranawat, Urvi Singh as Meenal Parekh, and Revathi Pillai as Vartika Ratawal. Raghav Subbu who directed the first season is helming this one as well besides also showrunning it along with Shreyansh Pandey. Saurabh Khanna, Abhishek Yadav, Puneet Batra, and Manoj Kalwani have written the show that was shot largely in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh between September 2020 and January 2021.
TVF has an interesting slate of high-content films and shows lined up for the year ahead. Apart from the second season of Kota Factory, they also have the second season of Pitchers, and the sophomore seasons of shows like TVF Trippling, The Aam Aadmi Family, and Humorously Yours in the various stages of production. TVF is also said to be in talks with a major OTT platform to sign an exclusive deal on their first slate of films.
