Inside Edge was one of the earliest web shows on the Indian digital landscape. It premiered in 2017 and received widespread aclaim from critics and audiences alike. Dark drama combined with cricketing elements makes it a compelling watch. The second season of the show which premiered in December 2019 was quite a hit with the audience. Now, they are eagerly waiting for the next instalment. The good news for the fans is that Prime has renewed the show for a third season. So, without any further delay let’s give you detail about Inside Edge Season 3.

Inside Edge Plot

The show portrays the corruption and dishonesty in the cricketing world. It follows Mumbai Mavericks, a fictional T20 cricket franchise team playing in a fictional cricket tournament named Power Play League. The series traces the ups and downs of the Mumbai Mavericks in the PowerPlay League as they face ownership problems along with accusations of match-fixing. The series depicts how money, politics, and power ruin the spirit of the game. The second season ends with a brilliant cliffhanger and has kept the audience excited for the third season. Reports suggest that the upcoming season would continue with the Mumbai Mavericks’ dark and thrilling journey.

Cast Members

There is no announcement regarding the cast for the third season. However, the core cast is likely to remain the same as the previous two seasons. Created by Karan Anshuman, the show stars:

  • Vivek Oberoi as Vikrant Dhawan: The Founder of one of the world’s top sports management companies

The confirmed addition to the cast is Akshay Oberoi (Gurgaon, The Test Case, and Selection Day fame). This has been confirmed by Oberoi itself during an interview.

Production Update of Season 3

Creator of the series, Karan Anshuman will return as a director alongside newcomer Kanishk Varma. Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Entertainment will continue to serve as executive producers of the show. Tanuj Virani in an interview spill the beans on the upcoming season.

He said “We got done shooting for Inside Edge season 3 before season 2 had even released. Can you believe it? The season should be out toward the end of 2020. We’re done shooting it. I think I just broke the news to you (laughs). I spoke to our Director (Karan Anshuman) a few days before the lockdown started, he was right in the middle of the post-production. So, let’s see (how the post-production work progresses).”

When will Season 3 Release?

Amazon Prime featured Inside Edge Season 3 in the list of shows to be released in 2020. However, due to the pandemic, there was a delay in post-production. As per the reports, the post-production work is in its last leg. Before Inside Edge, Amazon Prime has some other anticipated releases in its pipeline like The Family Man season 2. Since Manoj Bajpayee starrer has been postponed to Summer 2021, I am assuming Inside Edge next season to arrive in July or Aug 2021.

Inside Edge is one of the best shows out there on Amazon Prime Video. If you love thrillers, you will definitely like this one. Stream Inside Edge season 1 and 2 on Prime.
