Special O season one was released in 2020
Neeraj Pandey is an ace filmmaker who is widely known for directing and writing several big films. His films are commercially successful and have received widespread critical acclaim.
Neeraj Pandey’s 2020 web series Special O is considered as the best web series in India. But how true it is. Let’s find out.
Special O
Special O season one was released in March 2020. The show was released on 17 March 2020 on the OTT and digital platform Disney + Hotstar. Disney + Hotstar is the digital body of Star Network.
Upon its release, Special O became an immediate success and one of the most watched shows in India. Though the show reached big viewership but it wouldn’t have received such an overwhelming response if it was a bad or average show.
Special O largely received positive reviews from critics and widespread critical acclaim for its story, screenplay, direction, editing, performance of its cast, locations, and cinematography. Several influential celebrities including Hrithik Roshan and his father Rakesh Roshan praised the show.
There are countless shows like Special O in India. But Special O is highly ranked as the best web series ever.
Amazon Prime Video’s ‘The Family Man’ is another big web series. It is one of the most popular shows in India that has received widespread critical acclaim. It sure is an amazing show but The Family Man also emphasizes humor, family drama, and emotions. Special O is better than The Family Man for many reasons.
Special O largely emphasizes producing more suspense with each episode. Special O focuses on telling stories related to real life events and facts. Also, Special O has the upper hand because of their impressive sequences and foreign locations.
Special O season one was shot in Mumbai, Delhi, Dubai and other countries. The show is written, created, directed, and produced by Neeraj Pandey. It was Neeraj Pandey’s decision not to make Special O as a film but as a TV show.
One of the major reasons why Special O became such a massive hit is because of its star cast.
Special O stars Kay Kay Menon, Karan Tacker, Vinay Pathak, Sajjad Delafrooz, Vipul Shah, Muzamil Ibrahim, Meher Vij, Gautami Kapoor, Saiyami Kher, Sana Khan, Parmeet Sethi, and Kali Prasad Mukerjee among others.
Following the success of the first season, in a strange move, Neeraj Pandey announced Special O 1.5 instead of a proper second season.
Special O 1.5 of just four episodes aired on 12 November 2021. Special O 1.5 received mixed reviews and did not impress viewers or critics. Neeraj Pandey said that Special O 1.5 was just a try and confirmed that they will return with Special O 2.

Special O Season 2 is confirmed to release in 2025 on Disney + Hotstar. Neeraj Pandey has confidently said that Special O 2 is bigger and better than previous seasons. Once again, the show is shot in several foreign countries. It has an amazing story and remarkable and giant sequences.
Actors Kay Kay Menon, Karan Tacker, Vinay Pathak, Gautami Kapoor, Parmeet Sethi, and Kali Prasad Mukerjee will reprise their respective roles with new additional cast and characters.
Special O 2 was set to release in 2024 but got postponed due to the merger of Hotstar with another platform.
