Based on true-crime incidents, season 1 of the show had been a success as it brought unprecedented awareness to phishing scams in the country.

Throwing light on the premise of the upcoming season, director Soumendra Padhi shared, "Over the last few years, we've seen a huge uptick in the number of phishing scams. All of us at some point have received a call asking for our OTP number or CVV code."

He added, "A number of the young people in Jamtara took advantage of unsuspecting people who weren't tech-savvy, successfully building a hub for endless cash, with a mobile address book and quick dial. Season 1 saw huge success. We've been humbled by the response and how word spread. The ability it had to also educate whilst entertaining people has been incredible."

Produced by Viacom18 Studios' Tipping Point, from National Award-winning director, Soumendra Padhi and writer Trishant Srivastava, season 2 of 'Jamtara - Sabka Number Ayega' is set to launch on Netflix on September 23, 2022.
