Masaba Masaba marks the first onscreen collaboration between Neena Gupta and Masaba Gupta.
Neena Gupta feels it’s ‘unfair’ on Netflix’s part to not sanction Masaba Masaba Season 3. But a source close to the series reveals there was no plan for a third season.
In August 2020, the first season of Masaba Masaba premiered on Netflix. Starring Masaba Gupta and Neena Gupta, the first-of-its-kind, slice-of-life series was a semi-biographical take on the lives of the mother-daughter duo who played fictionalised versions of themselves as they dealt with the highs and the lows in their personal and professional lives in the show. It went on to grab a lot of eyeballs upon its release. The OTT giant released its second season in July last year. Fans are now eagerly awaiting the third season of Masaba Masaba. However, Showsha has exclusively learnt that Netflix has dropped the idea of a season three.
Yes, it seems like there won’t be more of Masaba Masaba for its viewers. Speaking to Showsha exclusively a while back, Neena cemented the claim and told us, “I want to tell Netflix that it isn’t fair that they didn’t sanction us the third season of Masaba Masaba. So many people ask me when the next season of the show will be out. I don’t know why they ask me.”
Masaba Masaba marked the first onscreen collaboration between the mother and the daughter and working on the show gave them a lot of time to spend together. “We were really looking forward to the third season. I don’t understand and know what Netflix’s strategy is and what kind of shows they actually want to make. I think they should make season three,” she added.
Following her statements, we reached out to the makers. But a source close to the show slammed the report and instead stated that there was no plan on making a third season of Masaba Masaba ever. “The storyline in Masaba Masaba reached its natural conclusion at the end of season two. A third season was not ever announced or put into development,” the source told us exclusively.
They added, “There’s no reason why a show that has done well in the past won’t be sanctioned. It wasn’t a decision that was abruptly taken after the second season of Masaba Masaba was wrapped. The platform has sanctioned the third seasons of Mismatched, Kota Factory, Delhi Crime and The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives and the second seasons of Class and Rana Naidu. However, for Masaba Masaba, the show has come to an end.”
