Prime Video is set to reignite the mystery with ‘Suzhal – The Vortex’ Season 2, premiering on February 28. The Tamil crime thriller, which became a massive success in its first season, returns with an even darker, more complex storyline that promises to keep viewers on edge.
Created by Pushkar and Gayatri and directed by Bramma and Sarjun KM, the show brings back Kathir and Aishwarya Rajesh in their gripping roles, alongside an ensemble cast featuring Lal, Saravanan, Gouri Kishan, Samyuktha Vishwanathan, and Monisha Blessy.
This season takes place in the fictional village of Kaalipattanam during the annual Ashtakaali festival, a setting that adds to the eerie and suspenseful atmosphere.
The story revolves around the shocking murder of Chellappa, a well-respected activist lawyer and social worker, whose death sends ripples through the community.
As the investigation unfolds, Sub-Inspector Sakkarai (Kathir) thrusts into a labyrinth of hidden motives and dark secrets. Meanwhile, Nandini (Aishwarya Rajesh), still grappling with the past, finds herself entangled in yet another haunting mystery.

What makes this season even more intriguing is the unexpected connection between the crime and eight young women, all seemingly unrelated, yet all considered prime suspects. As Sakkarai and Nandini dig deeper, they unravel a web of deception, betrayal, and long-buried vendettas.

He credited Pushkar and Gayatri’s writing for elevating the stakes, while praising Kathir and Aishwarya Rajesh for delivering performances that make the mystery even more compelling.
