About the show

Mirzapur revolves around Akhandanand Tripathi (played by Pankaj), who made huge bucks by exporting carpets and became the mafia boss of Mirzapur. His son Munna, an unworthy, power-hungry heir, stops at nothing to continue his father's legacy. Munna (Divyenndu) and Guddu’s (Ali Fazal) fight to take over Mirzapur intensified in the second season with power, politics and revenge coming to a head even as the nexus between politics and criminals prevails.

For the unversed, Mirzapur's first season came out in 2018 with nine episodes. The second season premiered on Prime Video in 2020 with 10 episodes. The latest season of the popular web series arrived this year in July with nine episodes. The makers later unveiled another bonus episode for its fans the next month.
