The wait is over, at least on paper. Shweta Tripathi confirmed at the NDTV Yuva 2026 conclave that the script for Mirzapur Season 4 is actively being written. For a franchise that has dominated Indian streaming for nearly a decade, this is the first concrete update on the next chapter since the theatrical release of Mirzapur: The Film.
But here is the plot twist that might save the show’s consistency. Tripathi explicitly told the audience to “forget” the movie. “Whatever has happened in Mirzapur The Movie is all from season one,” she said, emphasizing that the series will not be treating the film as canon for its narrative progression. This is a strategic move to prevent the convoluted timelines that often plague expanded universes.
Tripathi, who has played Golu Gupta for nine years, reflected on the character’s evolution from a college student to a hardened survivor. She noted that the journey has demanded a specific physical and mental resilience, a trait she has adopted into her own life. “If a girl is picking up a gun, then physical and mental health is necessary,” she remarked, highlighting the demands of portraying such a violent, high-stakes role.
The actress also praised the writing team, noting that the female characters in Mirzapur are rarely written with such depth. “They haven’t been written in this way,” she said, expressing gratitude for the creative freedom and the opportunity to portray a woman who is both vulnerable and lethal.
While no release date has been announced, the confirmation of the writing phase signals that the production is moving forward. Fans can expect the gritty, unflinching drama that made the series a cultural phenomenon, minus the distractions of the recent theatrical experiment.
