Kay Kay Menon's much-awaited Special OPS Season 2 was initially slated to release on July 11, 2025, but it was postponed by a week. The new season finally dropped on JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar on Friday, July 18. Fans, who had been eagerly waiting, wasted no time, and many have already binge-watched the entire series.
The second season brings a gripping cyber-thriller twist that pushes Himmat Singh and his RAW team to the edge. Kay Kay Menon reprises his role as the unshakable intelligence officer, while the new antagonist, Sudheer Awasthi, played convincingly by Tahir Raj Bhasin, adds a fresh layer of intrigue.
Unlike the first season, which focused on conventional terrorism threats, Special OPS 2 dives into the world of digital warfare. This time, the danger isn't coming from across the border, but from within, through technology and economic manipulation. Sudheer Awasthi, an Indian businessman operating from Georgia, has built a powerful empire using an advanced spyware called 'Megasus' (clearly inspired by the real-world Pegasus software).
The season begins with a bang, and two back-to-back incidents shake up the intelligence community. Dr. Bhargava, a top AI expert with access to sensitive government data, is kidnapped by unidentified attackers. At the same time, Vinod Shekhawat, a key intelligence officer, is brutally murdered along with his wife.
With its sharp pivot from guns and bombs to digital threats and espionage, Special OPS Season 2 smartly evolves with the times.
Netizens have mixed reviews of Kay Kay Menon's series Special OPS 2 and shared their review on X.

Slick but Scattered - deals with AI & cyber security. Great prod value, stunning locales.
Too many subplots - Dholakia plot made no sense. KK carries it with quiet conviction & others like Vinay Pathak wasted.
Doesn't match Season 1 but watch for production value. pic.twitter.com/L5fTF4Jpng
#SpecialOps2 : lackluster sequel that attempted to increase excitement, 6hr runtime,The editing lacks sharpness in most of moments. Neeraj adds style & complexity, but it falls way short of S1, predictable twists & emotional elements failing to resonate ??.

Disappointed with Special Ops 2
— Rasesh Padia (@raseshpadia) July 19, 2025
- Storyline of Jignesh Dholakia going no where
- Why Ruhani was there on mission?
- Master fighter Awasthi got defeated by Farooq so easily
- Last moment entry of Abhay and poor execution of his end sequence
- Story of Pari felt rushed
- No…

I suffer so you don't need to suffer for 6hr.
This season went down the hill against first 2 season.
A major cyber attack was about to hit Indian and Govt Let Himant Singh to lead the operation. That was fine , get this there were more people at… pic.twitter.com/0kRfJ38Rcj
A netizen tweeted, "Done with episodes of #SpecialOps2 I can say that no web series in India can take over this masterpiece at any cost. This is by far the best web content ever produce in India. @kaykaymenon02 as Himmat singh is beyond words. He is not playing but living the character..."
Another X user wrote, "Special Ops 2 is totally worth watching, guys! Finally, some good OTT content after a long time. It was truly enjoyable. Hopefully, Himmat Singh will be back for Season 3."
Just finished #specialopsseason2 and TBH it didn't match my expectations. Fakeness everywhere with tech and action scenes, less and ineffective dialogs, poor plot, ruhani and sudheer's casting and above all, very ineffective use of memon and pathak sir. Very disappointed ?

The next one said, "POV: You weren't planning to binge #SpecialOps2. But then it picks up. And suddenly, you're glued. #KayKayMenon carries the weight like he always does. Calm, intense, brilliant. Tahir Raj Bhasin surprises you. Few hits. Some misses. But the complete series still knows how to keep you hooked without flying cars or forced romance. Worth a binge.."
@kaykaymenon02 Goosebumps from the very first episode — what a masterpiece! Watching on my 100-inch screen at 3 am felt like I was inside the world itself. Special Ops: Season 2 is mind-blowing. And when I heard them mention my hometown, Raxaul border — I was completely shocked!. pic.twitter.com/IG9XykDom5

#SpecialOps2 is shitt man, not even close to Special Ops 1.5.

They wanted to make something like 'Tehran' but ended up with making a 3rd copy of it. @kaykaymenon02 sir was great but the story was dull. Something was amiss.
