The global audience has been captivated by Sacred Games since its initial release on Netflix, which has significantly influenced the platform's growth in India. For an extended period, viewers have speculated about the potential for a third season of this acclaimed series, developed by Vikramaditya Motwane and Varun Grover, with Anurag Kashyap serving as co-director. Although Sacred Games 3 is not currently in development, Motwane has collaborated once again with Netflix on a new dark thriller entitled Black Warrant. This upcoming series narrates the compelling true story of a young jailer who begins his tenure at Tihar Jail and encounters a series of daunting challenges.

About Black Warrant

Sunil Gupta inadvertently finds himself ensnared in a system where authority and reputation reign supreme and survival exacts a heavy toll. Together with his two reliable fellow jailers, he manoeuvres through the infamous inmates of Tihar and the deeply rooted politics that govern it. Armed with little more than resolve and tenacity, the trio confronts formidable obstacles within India’s largest correctional facility. This extraordinary narrative offers an in-depth exploration of the personal experiences of both inmates and officers, revealing their intricate relationships. Will they dare to confront the system and instigate change, or will Tihar transform them instead?

From the creative visionaries Vikramaditya Motwane and Satyanshu Singh—who serve as showrunners and directors—along with Ambiecka Pandit, Arkesh Ajay, and Rohin Raveendran Nair, Black Warrant promises an unvarnished and candid exploration of Tihar Jail. The series is inspired by the book Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer, authored by Sunil Gupta and Sunetra Choudhury.

When and Where to Watch

Black Warrant is set to release on Netflix on January 10, 2025. The seven-episode series, with episodes running close to an hour each, will be available to all Netflix subscribers without any additional cost.

Vikramaditya Motwane on Black Warrant

Vikramaditya Motwane states, "Black Warrant has given us the chance to delve into a realm that is frequently obscured from sight—one that is challenging, intricate, and rife with contradictions. Sunil’s experiences within Tihar Jail offered a distinctive viewpoint to encapsulate that complexity. The trailer merely hints at how the series reveals the layers of a world that is both harsh and multifaceted, and at times, even entertaining.

"Working alongside our exceptional cast infused remarkable depth into this narrative, and our collaboration with Netflix, Applause Entertainment, and Confluence Media enabled us to develop a story that is authentic, compelling, and profoundly human. I eagerly anticipate the moment when audiences will discover the humanity and resilience embedded within this impactful narrative."
