Besides Panday, the rest of the primary cast, including Gurfateh Pirzada, Vir Das, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, and Niharika Lyra Dutt, will also reprise their roles. “Right now, Ananya has begun shooting. Soon she will be joined by Vir and others. There are also likely to be new additions to the cast, which the makers want to keep under-wraps” informs another insider.
Like its inaugural season, Call Me Bae 2 will have eight episodes. The source adds, “The idea is to take [the show] notches higher. And there will of course be sisterhood, which also formed the core of Call Me Bae.” The new season is expected to release in the second half of 2026.
