Netflix announces third season of ‘Delhi Crime’
Netflix India has announced the return of its International Emmy-winning true crime drama series ‘Delhi Crime’, which will premiere its third season on 13th November.
The new season explores one of the show’s most complex and wide-reaching cases yet, following two opposing forces on either side of the law and a pursuit that spans across the country.
In ‘Delhi Crime’ Season 3, Shefali Shah reprises her role as DCP Vartika Chaturvedi — known as “Madam Sir” — leading her team through a case that exposes the dark realities of human trafficking. The discovery of an abandoned baby sets off an investigation that unravels a deadly network and brings them face-to-face with a formidable new adversary, Badi Didi, portrayed by Huma Qureshi.
The series continues to be directed by Tanuj Chopra, with returning cast members Rasika Dugal as Neeti Singh, Rajesh Tailang as Bhupendra Singh, Jaya Bhattacharya as Vimla Baradwaj, and Anuraag Arora as Jairaj Singh. Joining them this season are Huma Qureshi, Sayani Gupta, Mita Vasisht, Kelly Dorji, and Anshumaan Pushkar in pivotal roles.

Shefali Shah, reprising her role as DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, shares, “Returning as Madam Sir always feels deeply personal. Her significance, both to me and in today’s times, has only grown stronger in my eyes. Vartika is fighting an enemy that not only crosses borders, but also exists in the shadow of everyday society. Human trafficking isn’t the act of a few; it’s the symptom of a society that looks the other way. But Vartika, true to who she is, keeps fighting anyway, even if it means saving just one life from the clutches of this murky world.”
Huma Qureshi, joining the franchise as Meena, shares, “Playing a negative role, especially of a character like Meena, was a powerful yet unsettling experience. She’s shaped by trauma, yet wields immense control; she’s a woman who’s both victim and perpetrator.. That’s what drew me to ‘Delhi Crime’: its honesty. It never glorifies or sensationalises. It forces us to confront uncomfortable truths that often hide in plain sight.”
