The show will release on Netflix this week on September 27. Based on Bilal Siddiqi’s book of the same name, the espionage thriller will see Emraan as a disgraced spy, who is recalled from his new life as a Shakespeare professor to save four Indian agents who are held as hostages in Balochistan.

Emraan says even though things are not official yet, he would like to return for a second season of the show. “I have had tremendous time working on Bard of Blood. In the beginning, I had some sleepless nights trying to figure out how to play this character. But now I have tasted blood and I would want the second season.But the tricky part is that we had a book here, that the show is based on. So if we plan anything in future, we need to be cautious and hopefully make a better second season,” he says.
