Sharing the video, the streaming platform captioned it, "A fog of secrets, revenge, and endless lies Find out what's hiding behind it in #MithyaTheDarkerChapter now streaming, only on ZEE5!"

Reviewing the series, one OTTPlay expert wrote, "Mithya - The Darker Chapter, produced by Applause Entertainment, is filled with so many complex and incoherent plots that you feel lost at one point in time. It has many unnecessary cliffhangers that will destroy the curiosity. However, the 2nd season of Mithya also shows a mother's endless sacrifices to save her child which is somewhat impressive."

More about Mithya - The Darker Chapter

The second season shows Juhi publishing her new book, Dhundh, but is immediately taken aback by accusations of plagiarism from another author, Amit Chaudhary (Naveen Kasturia). While Juhi's life is messed up, Rhea continues to plot to take a revenge of Juhi and make game plans to come closer to her father as she years for her acceptance in the family.

In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Huma Qureshi opened up about working with new director Kapil Sharma in Mithya - The Darker Chapter. She said that it didn’t feel any different and she always felt like he was part of season one. 

"Even though he’s new to the show, he was completely at ease with the surroundings. Often, when a new director comes in, especially with a cast and crew from the previous season, it takes a while for things to settle. But he took to it like a fish to water—it was seamless," Huma said.

Meanwhile, Mithya – The Darker Chapter is set to stream on ZEE5 from November 1, 2024. You can also watch the show on OTTplay Premium with a subscription. Stay tuned to Mobile Masala for more information on this and everything else from the world of streaming and films.
