However, we could see another studio pick this one up in the future but that does seem highly unlikely, given Apple tend to keep a lot of their originals close to heart. Right now, despite favorable reviews from us, the show has, unfortunately, been axed.īarely anything is known about season 2 at this point, given Apple TV has not green-lit a sequel. Adding to that is Charlie Hunnam’s recent spine injury that will see the actor take it easy for the next two years. The long runtime and stretched-out episodes have ensured that the story does not have the crispness that modern-day viewers so desire. The decision is swift and often based on data rather than emotions. One thing that the streaming platform does well is decisively intervening with the renewal/cancellation task. You can check that out HERE!Īt the time of writing, Shantaram has not been renewed for a second season, which is a real shame as the show had a lot of potential.

We have extensive knowledge of Shantaram on the site, including recaps for every episode and a full season review. But his days are numbered as Nightingale gets a sniff of his presence in Bombay, as the politics and ambitions of a journalist threaten to get the better of him. One thing leads to another and Lin firmly treads on the path of redemption by helping out the community. Local criminal Khaderbhai and his associate Karla, soon take note of Lin and their paths meet. Under his new name, Lindsey Ford, Dale forges a friendship with Prabhu and stops his rambling feet by staying back in Sagar Wada, a decrypt slum in the middle of the city, as a makeshift doctor. After escaping, he runs away to Bombay for refuge. He was convicted of a bank robbery and for killing a policeman in the ensuing chaos with his mate. But has Shantaram been renewed for season 2? Here’s what we know:ĭale Conti (Hunnam) has escaped jail in Australia. Led by a delightful Charlie Hunnam performance, Shantaram has definitely made a place in the hearts of the viewers. Now that season 1 is coming to a close, expectations for another one are bound to set alight. Everything that makes it the city we know today is brought to life with stunning clarity and direction. We see the bustling city in the glory of its yesteryear avatar.

Apple TV’s Shantaram is winning applause for reviving the old Bombay charm of the 1980s.
