Created by Eric Warren Singer and Steve Lightfoot, Shantaram is an American-Australian drama thriller series based on the 2003 namesake novel by Gregory David Roberts. The plot revolves around Dale Conti, a former paramedic turned bank robber, who escapes from prison in Australia and travels to Bombay (now, Mumbai) under the alias Lindsay Ford. The more time he spends there, the more he immerses in the city and its people. Season 1 originally premiered between October 14, 2022, and December 16, 2022, and received a mixed to positive response, earning a 56% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. If you want to know when season 2 will come out, you have come to the right place.
Here’s all the Shantaram Season 2 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Shantaram Season 2 release date?
There is no Shantaram Season 2 release date as Shantaram was canceled after season 1.
In December 2022, Apple canceled Shantaram. Season 1 finale served as the series finale as it aired after the cancellation announcement. In the past, there had been other attempts to adapt the book, with Johnny Depp and Joel Edgerton slated to portray the main character in different cinematic renditions, but they never came to fruition. The Apple project suffered multiple setbacks during production due to COVID-related restrictions and the departure of showrunner Eric Warren Singer.
Ultimately, Shantaram didn’t succeed in creating the level of buzz that other high-profile Apple shows generate, and that’s likely served as one of the main reasons for cancelation.
The cast includes Charlie Hunnam as Dale Conti/Lindsay “Linbaba” Ford, Fayssal Bazzi as Abdullah Taheri, Sujaya Dasgupta as Kavita, Antonia Desplat as Karla Saaranen, Elham Ehsas as Sebastian Modena, David Field as Wally Nightingale, Matthew Joseph as Ravi, Rachel Kamath as Parvati, Alyy Khan as Qasim Ali, Elektra Kilbey as Lisa Carter, Shiv Palekar as Vikram, Luke Pasqualino as Maurizio Belcane, Vincent Perez as Didier Levy, and more.
Where is Shantaram Season 2 coming out?
Shantaram Season 2 isn’t confirmed to be released on Apple TV Plus. ComingSoon will provide an update if the circumstances change.
The official synopsis for Shantaram Season 2 reads:
“Escaped convict Lin Ford flees to the teeming streets of 1980s Bombay, looking to disappear. Working as a medic for the city’s poor and neglected, Lin finds unexpected love, connection, and courage on the long road to redemption.”
