Special Ops Season 2
Get ready for another dose of high-stakes espionage as Kay Kay Menon reprises his role as R&AW officer Himmat Singh in Special Ops Season 2. The highly anticipated second season, originally slated for July 11, will now drop on July 18 on Disney+ Hotstar, with all episodes releasing at once for a true binge-watching experience. This slight delay, as confirmed by lead actor Kay Kay Menon on Instagram, was due to "circumstances beyond control."

A New Battlefield: The Digital Realm
Created by Neeraj Pandey and directed by Shivam Nair, Special Ops Season 2 promises a gripping new chapter that shifts gears from international manhunts to the dark alleys of cyber warfare. Himmat Singh will lead a covert task force into an increasingly digital battleground, reflecting real-world concerns about national security in an era where cyber breaches can destabilise entire nations.
The show explores the growing threat of cyber terrorism and digital warfare. As Kay Kay Menon himself put it, "Himmat Singh has never been your typical hero; he doesn`t chase glory, he carries burdens. This time, the battles are quieter but more dangerous, and the cost of every decision feels heavier. As an actor, it’s rare to find a character who challenges you this deeply, not just in performance, but in spirit. I hope audiences feel the weight and the heart we’ve poured into this season.”
Himmat reassembles his trusted squad, including characters played by Karan Tacker, Saiyami Kher, Vinay Pathak, Muzammil Ibrahim, and Meher Vij, to take on this rising threat. The ensemble cast also features seasoned actors like Prakash Raj, Tota Roy Choudhury, Dalip Tahil, and Gautami Kapoor, with Tahir Raj Bhasin playing the antagonist this season.
The Legacy of Special Ops
Special Ops debuted in March 2020 and quickly became a fan favourite, receiving critical acclaim and multiple awards. The franchise expanded further with Special Ops 1.5: The Himmat Story in 2021, a prequel that delved into Himmat’s origins and cemented the show’s hold on fans of the spy-thriller genre. The original series followed Singh as he spotted a common thread running through several major terrorist attacks, suspecting a single mastermind. Now, in Season 2, the battlefield moves beyond borders and bombs into the invisible but devastating world of cyber threats, testing Himmat Singh and his team like never before.
