Filming for the second season started in March 2026, and ended in early September. According to the producers, the premiere of episode **1 is scheduled for October 25, 2026** - on this very day the series will appear on the main streaming platforms in Kazakhstan. However, there are nuances:

• 📅 Premiere on TV: Channel Qazaqstan TV will show the first episode a week later - November 1, 2026 at 21:00 Nur-Sultan time.
• 🌍 International release: For viewers outside of Kazakhstan, the series will be available on the platform Kion with subtitles in Russian and English.
• ⏳ Episode release schedule: New episodes will be released weekly Thursdays (for online platforms) and Fridays (for TV).

Interesting fact: according to tradition, **the first 15 minutes of episode 1** will be published on the official YouTube channel production company Kazakhfilm for 3 days before the premiere - that is October 22. This is a chance to evaluate the quality of filming and the mood of the new season before its full release.

Episode 1 plot: what is known from trailers and insiders

Official trailer for season 2 (published October 10, 2026) makes it clear that the patrol team will face a **new level of threats**. Main storylines of the first series:

• 🔫 New antagonist: A criminal group appears in the city under the leadership of a man with the call sign **"Curator"** (the role is played by the actor Erkebulan Dairov). His methods differ from the usual gang warfare - he uses social engineering and cybercrime.
• 🚔 Team changes: One of the main characters of the first season - Major Askarov (actor Nurlan Koyanbaev) - gets a promotion, but this jeopardizes his relationships with his colleagues.
• 💥 Personal drama: Character Lieutenant Aigerim (actress Aruzhan Jazilbekova) faces the consequences of decisions made in the Season 1 finale.

According to the screenwriter Asel Zhumagulova, **the first episode will be devoted to the investigation of a series of ATM robberies**, which at first glance seem to be the work of hackers, but in fact are connected to a larger operation. Viewers will also see **flashbacks** revealing the past of “The Curator” and its connection with the events of 10 years ago.

Who is a “Curator” really?

According to rumors, this character is related to the real events of the 2010s in Kazakhstan, when a group of high-ranking officials were involved in corruption schemes using banking systems. In the series, his prototype was a former KNB employee who was fired for exceeding his authority.

An interesting point: in the trailer **shots of drones and equipment for jamming signals flashes**, which hints at the technical component of the crimes. This could mean that the new season will have more emphasis on cybersecurity and modern investigative techniques.

Cast: who's back and who's new?

The core of the patrol team remains the same, but there are noticeable changes. The table below contains a complete list of actors and their roles in season 2:

Actor/Actress	Character	Role in season 2	Status
Nurlan Koyanbaev	Major Dauren Askarov	Patrol leader gets promoted	🔄Back
Aruzhan Jazilbekova	Lieutenant Aigerim Kuandykova	Facing a personal crisis	🔄Back
Erkebulan Dairov	“Curator” (Amangeldy)	Main antagonist of the season	✨ New
Asel Sagatova	Captain Gauhar Zholdasova	Returns after being wounded	🔄Back
Dias Zholzhaksynov	Senior Lieutenant Erlan	Gets a new partner	🔄Back

The most intriguing addition is **actor Bolat Kaliev** who will play former intelligence officer, now working as a private detective. His character will appear in episode 2, but already in episode 1 there will be hints about his participation in the “Curator” case.

Unfortunately, **actress Saule Kekilbayeva** (played the role forensic expert Ainur) will not return for season 2 due to filming schedule conflicts. Her character will be “fired for family reasons,” which is explained in one of the lines.

What changed in season 2: filming, budget, style

The producers promised that the second season will be **"darker and more realistic"** than the first. Here are the key changes:

• 🎥 New operator: Instead Askhat Dauletbaeva stood behind the camera Erlan Nurumbetov, known for his work on the film **"Shal"** (2019). He gave the series more cinematic look with an emphasis on night scenes.
• 💰 Increased budget: If 1 season was allocated ~180 million ₸, then on the second - almost 300 million ₸. The money went to special effects and filming in new locations (including Almaty and Shymkent).
• 🔊 Soundtrack: The music is now written by a composer Almat Ordabaev, collaborated with Netflix on the project **"Zuleikha opens her eyes"**. A more intense and atmospheric score is expected.
• 📜 Scenario: Joined the team Baurzhan Omarov (author of the series **"Tohar"**), who helped refine the dialogues and plot twists.

One of the most notable innovations is **the use of drones for filming chases**. Episode 1 will feature a pursuit scene on the Almaty-Kapshagai highway, filmed from the air. According to the director, this required special permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Also in season 2 **the number of “soap” scenes** will be reduced in favor of investigations. As explained Nurlan Koyanbaev in an interview, "the audience asked for more action and less lyrics - we heard this request."

This is a bold step for Kazakh TV, and I hope that the writers will not soften the rough edges for the sake of ratings.”
