Although Abhishek Bachchan‘s Breathe 2 didn’t receive top class reviews upon its July release, it was still the most watched series on Amazon Prime Video. Now, the news is that the makers of the crime thriller are planning to invest in the next season. Abundantia Entertainment, the production house behind the series, is set to begin work on its third edition.
Defending the sophomore season, producer Vikram Malhotra says, “Amazon rarely goes on record to talk about any of their shows, but the [top brass] has talked about how Breathe 2 received tremendous love from the audience. I respect the opinion of critics, who thought the series was simplistic, convenient and not pacy enough. But, at the end of the day, I will quote what Amazon says: All that matters to us is what the customers are saying. The pace and length of a show are subjective. Plus, slow burn appeals to a huge section of the audience.”
Although the producer didn’t reveal anything about the third installment, he admitted that the second edition is made to pave the way for a larger story. “We have intentionally left it at a point where we have the option of taking the story ahead. The [season] finale ends with C-16 and we want people to keep guessing what it is. The cliffhanger was the most debated point of the show.”
