Indian Matchmaking Season 2: Netflix Renews Problematic Series, Announces Open Casting Call.
Indian Matchmaking season 2 is a go.
Netflix announced Monday that Sima from Mumbai — that's how Mumbai-based matchmaker Sima Taparia introduces herself to prospective clients — would return for a second season of its much talked-about arranged marriage reality series.
Created by Smriti Mundhra, Indian Matchmaking premiered last July and was viewed widely, though was deemed problematic and criticised for propagating discrimination based on caste, skin colour, and gender stereotypes among others.
Still, Indian Matchmaking season 1 was nominated at the 2021 Emmys.
