What can you expect from season 3? Per Netflix, there’ll be gully cricket, secret study dates, random birthday cakes, and scribbled whiteboards. I mean, that last one goes without saying. This is a show about students. Alongside, expect some profound wisdom from the trusted mentor-teacher Jeetu Bhaiya who’s also dealing with the demands of his position following the tragic season 2 cliffhanger that saw a student take their own life. (Given how long it’s been, you might have likely forgotten that just as I did. Season 2 is a distant part of my brain alongside the COVID-19 pandemic.)
Behind the scenes, Kota Factory showrunner Raghav Subbu has relinquished directing duties. Pratish Mehta—who helmed the miniseries Half CA and SK Sir Ki Class, both for Kota Factory studio The Viral Fever—is the new director of season 3. TVF founder Arunabh Kumar is a producer on season 3. (Kumar was accused of sexual harassment by nine women in 2017. A Mumbai court acquitted him in one of the cases in 2022.)
With here, let’s look at Kota Factory’s returning ensemble cast and who’s joining them in the third season.
