The world has been hooked on Sacred Games ever since the series first premiered on Netflix, giving the streaming platform a new direction to flourish in India. For years, fans have wondered about a possible season three of the hit show, created by Vikramaditya Motwane and Varun Grover, with Anurag Kashyap as co-director. While Sacred Games 3 is not on the horizon, Motwane has reunited with Netflix for another dark thriller titled Black Warrant. This series tells the gripping real-life story of a young jailer who joins Tihar Jail and faces numerous harrowing challenges.
Sunil Gupta steps unwittingly into the jaws of a system where power and reputation dominate, and survival demands a steep price. Alongside his two trusted fellow jailers, he navigates Tihar's notorious inmates and its entrenched politics. With little more than grit and determination, the trio faces towering challenges within India’s largest prison. This unprecedented account delves deeply into the personal stories of inmates, and officers, and their complex dynamics. Will they challenge the system and bring about change, or will Tihar change them?
From the creative powerhouse of Vikramaditya Motwane and Satyanshu Singh—serving as showrunners and directors—alongside Ambiecka Pandit, Arkesh Ajay, and Rohin Raveendran Nair, Black Warrant promises a raw, unfiltered dive into Tihar Jail. The series is based on the book Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer, written by Sunil Gupta and Sunetra Choudhury.

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 shares, "Black Warrant has offered us the opportunity to explore a world that’s often hidden from view—one that’s tough, complicated, and full of contradictions. Sunil’s journey through Tihar Jail provided a unique perspective to capture that complexity. The trailer is just a glimpse of how the series peels back the layers of a world that is as brutal as it is complex and, at times, even fun.
"Collaborating with our stellar cast brought incredible nuance to this story, and partnering with Netflix, Applause Entertainment, and Confluence Media allowed us to craft a narrative that is raw, gripping, and deeply human. I can’t wait for viewers to uncover the humanity and grit within this powerful narrative."
Witness the untold story behind the walls of Tihar Jail in Black Warrant, streaming exclusively on Netflix from January 10, 2025. Stay tuned to OTTplay for more updates on this and everything else in the world of streaming and films.
