Fans of Mirzapur have received an important update from Shweta Tripathi Sharma, who has confirmed that work on Season 4 of the popular crime thriller is underway.
Shweta, who has played the much-loved character Golu Gupta since the first season, revealed that the writing process for the fourth season has already begun. She also spoke about how long her association with Golu has lasted and indicated that the character will continue to be an important part of her acting journey.
The announcement comes at an interesting point for the franchise, with Mirzapur: The Movie expanding the story into cinemas.
Shweta Tripathi Says Season 4 Is Being Written
During a recent interaction, Shweta Tripathi spoke about her long association with Golu and revealed that Season 4 is currently being written.
The actress has been portraying Golu for nearly nine years, making the character one of the longest-running roles of her career. She explained that the character remains close to her, especially because the journey of Mirzapur has continued across multiple seasons and now a theatrical film.
Shweta also indicated that the franchise's journey could extend beyond a decade, with the film and the upcoming fourth season adding new chapters to the story.
Golu Gupta Remains Special To Shweta
For Shweta Tripathi, Golu Gupta is more than just another character.
The actress has played Golu through the character's transformation across the first three seasons. Golu began as a relatively different personality before becoming increasingly involved in the violent power struggle at the centre of the Mirzapur universe.
Shweta has previously explained that returning to Golu for Mirzapur: The Movie required her to revisit the character's earlier emotional state because the film is set within the timeline of the first season.
Mirzapur Season 4 Will Continue After Season 3
The upcoming Mirzapur Season 4 is expected to continue the main series storyline following the events of Season 3.
Shweta had earlier clarified that the movie and Season 4 are separate stories within the same universe. While the film revisits an earlier point in the timeline, the fourth season will continue the narrative established at the end of Season 3.
This means fans will eventually return to the unresolved power struggles and character arcs left behind at the end of the third season.
Director Gurmmeet Singh Had Already Confirmed The Writing
Shweta Tripathi's latest comments follow an earlier confirmation from Mirzapur director Gurmmeet Singh.
In July 2026, Singh revealed that the scripting for Season 4 had officially begun. He said the team was currently focused on Mirzapur: The Movie, making it difficult to discuss the fourth season in detail without revealing potential spoilers.
The director also indicated that directing Season 4 would be among his next major projects after completing the film.
Why The Story Details Are Being Kept Secret
The makers have been careful about revealing details of Mirzapur Season 4 because of the connection between the series and the movie.
Since Mirzapur: The Movie is part of the same larger universe, discussing too much about the upcoming season could potentially reveal important developments from the film.
As a result, the makers have confirmed that the season is being scripted but have not disclosed its complete storyline, release date or detailed character arcs.
What Happened To Guddu Pandit In Season 3?
One of the major unresolved storylines from Season 3 involves Guddu Pandit, played by Ali Fazal.
Director Gurmmeet Singh previously described Guddu's transformation at the end of Season 3 as a descent into an increasingly dark phase. The character had risen to power but was also becoming more violent and unpredictable.
The consequences of Guddu's actions could therefore become an important part of the narrative going forward, although the makers have not revealed the exact direction of Season 4.
Mirzapur: The Movie Expands The Franchise
Before Season 4 arrives, the franchise has already made the transition from streaming to the big screen with Mirzapur: The Movie.
The film brings back several familiar faces from the series, including Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Shweta Tripathi, Divyenndu, Rasika Dugal, Vijay Varma, Isha Talwar and Harshita Gaur. It is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and produced by Excel Entertainment.
For Shweta, the movie has also become her biggest theatrical release so far.
Shweta Tripathi Has Been With Mirzapur Since Season 1
Shweta's association with Mirzapur dates back to the show's first season.
Her portrayal of Golu Gupta became one of the central performances of the series, particularly as the character evolved from a young woman seeking justice into a powerful figure within the show's violent world.
Speaking about the franchise's success, Shweta recently said that the show's commercial reach feels like a win for her because she comes from an independent cinema background.
When Will Mirzapur Season 4 Release?
At present, the makers have not announced an official release date for Mirzapur Season 4.
The confirmed update is that the season is in development and its scripting is underway. Director Gurmmeet Singh is expected to continue his association with the series, while further production details are likely to emerge after the theatrical chapter receives its run.
For now, Shweta Tripathi's confirmation has given fans a clear indication that the Mirzapur story is far from over.
