ZEE5 Global, the world’s largest streaming platform for South Asian content, announced the second instalment of the much loved and awaited series ‘Pitchers’. With an IMDB rating of 9.1, Pitchers became a cult show and an inspiration for millions of people to embark on their entrepreneurial journey. The first season revolved around the trials and tribulations of four young entrepreneurs who quit their day jobs in order to pursue their start-up venture.
The show is now returning after a gap of 7 years and this time around, we meet the Pitchers 2.5 years after their tech start-up Pragati.AI was founded. The start-up is on the cusp of an expansion journey and short of one co-founder. The original cast consisting of Naveen Kasturia, Arunabh Kumar, Abhay Mahajan, Abhishek Banerjee and Gopal Dutt are joined by new entrants like Ridhi Dogra, Sikander Kher and Ashish Vidyarthi who will be seen in pivotal roles.
After the success of Saas Bahu Achaar Pvt. Ltd. and Tripling S3, this is the third collaboration between TVF and ZEE5 Global.
