Released on 1 March 2020, the first season of Asur received a tremendous response. The viewers loved it owing to its thrilling plot, detailed narration, and top-notch performances.

Asur Season 2 Plot & Storyline
In the first season, we saw a cat and mouse game between a brutal serial killer and CBI team led by forensic officer Nikhil Nair (Barun Sobti) and Dhananjay Rajpoot (Arshad Warsi). The second season promises more thrill as the game of “sur-asur” or good vs bad continues. In the first season, it became almost clear that Shubh (serial killer) is not alone.
