The Amazon Prime Video series ‘Mumbai Diaries 26/11’ is one of the most engaging Indian shows that has been released in recent times.
Set against the backdrop of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, the medical drama was released on September 9, 2021.
Directed by Nikhil Advani & Nikhil Gonsalves, the series featured Konkona Sensharma, Mohit Raina, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Tina Desai, amongst others, in pivotal roles.
While the 1st season paid tribute to the frontline heroes of the dreadful terrorist attack in Mumbai, we hear that the show has reportedly been renewed for a second season. If this Peeping Moon report is to be believed, season 2 is said to be based on the 2005 Mumbai Floods and the crisis.
A source informed the portal- “Mumbai Diaries is a show set in the Emergency Room of a hospital and explores the challenges faced by the medical staff at the hospital as well as other first responders across the city of Mumbai in dealing with a crisis of immense magnitude.
After handling the 26/11 Mumbai blasts situation, the Bombay General Hospital doctors and staff are now set to deal with the 26 July crisis — a term used to refer to the day when the city of Mumbai came to a standstill due to flooding in 2005. The makers have already completed the scripting and will soon begin the pre-production to kick off the filming in January 2022.”
On July 26, 2005, Mumbai rains paralyzed the city. Reportedly, more than 1,000 people lost their lives and 14,000 homes were destroyed.
The main cast of the 1st season will return in their characters in the upcoming season as they will deal with the flood crisis and the havoc it created across the city.
For the unversed, ‘Mumbai Diaries 26/11’ is the fictional version of the dreadful night of Mumbai on November 26, 2008. The 8-part series showcases its story from a government hospital’s perspective, which eventually becomes the battleground between the cops, doctors, and the terrorists.
