The iconic crime drama CID is making a much-anticipated comeback on Sony TV after a six-year hiatus. Originally debuting in 1998, the show quickly gained a devoted fan base over its two-decade run, thanks to its unique blend of suspenseful investigations and unforgettable characters like ACP Pradyuman (played by Shivaji Satam), Inspector Daya (Dayanand Shetty), and Sr. Inspector Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava). The show’s final episode aired in October 2018, and since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting its return.
The makers are set to release a promo soon, building anticipation for the show’s revival. Although exact details about the storyline and cast are still under wraps, the revival could feature either a fresh storyline or a modern twist on classic elements that made the original series so popular. Sony TV is also rumored to be revitalizing other classic shows, appealing to nostalgic audiences as part of their programming refresh.
The potential revival of CID offers fans a chance to relive the excitement of crime-solving with familiar faces, while possibly introducing new characters and cases to appeal to a broader audience. This return marks a significant event for Indian television, celebrating one of its longest-running series with a fresh start that could air as soon as late October or early November 2024. Keep an eye out for the promo tomorrow, which promises a sneak peek into the new season and hints at what fans can expect in this iconic show’s exciting new chapter.
