On June 3, Netflix confirmed season 2 of Heeramandi. The makers shared the post where a flash mob dance at Mumbai's Carter Road can be seen. The women were dressed in anarkalis and ghungroos, and danced to a medley of songs such as "Sakal Ban" and "Tilasmi Baahein" from the series. The post captioned, “Mehfil phir se jamegi, Heeramandi: Season 2 jo aa raha hai.”

Opening about Season 2 of Heeramandi, Bhansali told earlier Variety that 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 film industry or Kolkata film industry.

"So that journey in the bazaar remains the same. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for the producers and not for the nawabs. So that's the second season we are planning, let's see where it goes," he further added.
