After the success of its first season, the series is gearing up to return with even more intensity, drama, and a gripping storyline. This article contains everything you need to know about the upcoming season of the ZEE5 Global’s news drama.
The Broken News Season 2 release date, trailer, plot & more
Fans can mark their calendars for May 3, 2024, when The Broken News Season 2 is slated to premiere on ZEE5 Global. Returning after a break of two years, the upcoming season promises to elevate the clash between the rival news channels Josh 24×7 and Awaz Bharti. As the trailer suggests, viewers can expect a thrilling rivalry that breaks the confines of the newsroom, morphing into a personal struggle for survival.
The trailer further offers a glimpse into the intense rivalry between Radha Bhargava (played by Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Dipankar Sanyal (played by Jaideep Ahlawat). Radha, framed as a terrorist in the first season, seeks revenge against Dipankar. All in all, hinting at a season full of high-stakes showdowns. As the battle for truth and ratings intensifies, both characters will be seen driven to extreme lengths. Additionally, Ameena Qureshi (played by Sonali Bendre) will be seen as the voice of reason. She tries to rationalize Radha’s motivation and competes against Josh 24×7.
According to the streaming giant, the plot reads, “Recognizing that unbiased news reporting alone cannot combat Josh 24×7’s propaganda, she is prepared to engage in unorthodox methods to purge the corrupt system. In Radha’s absence, Ameena (Sonali) shoulders the responsibility of fighting the ‘Sach’ battle alone. Venturing into the streets to uncover the truth amidst personal risk. Dipankar’s brand of ‘sansani’ news dominates TRPs. But he is compelled to utilize his ‘sansani’ ideology to sway public opinion and further his personal and corporate agendas. However, the pertinent question remains: Breaking news ki race mein ab break hoga har rule! Jab sach bhi bane sansani, kya Dekhaga India?”
Jaideep Ahlawat, Sonali Bendre & Shriya Pilgaonkar on the upcoming season

Sonali Bendre, who plays the idealistic editor, reflected on the evolution of her character and the series. She shared, “Ameena and Radha were a team in the first season. However, in this new season, Ameena will be fighting the battle for ‘Sach’ on her own.”
Jaideep Ahlawat shed light on the motivations driving his character, Dipankar Sanyal, offering a glimpse into the complex psyche of a man driven by ambition and disillusionment. Shriya Pilgaonkar, in turn, discussed the intense personal dynamics between her character, Radha Bhargava, and Jaideep Ahlawat’s Dipankar.
