Prime Video announced the premiere date on Wednesday and confirmed that the series will stream from June 23 in India and across more than 240 countries and territories.
Speaking about the show's return, Manish Menghani, Director and Head of Content Licensing at Prime Video India, as per a statement, said, "As audience preferences continue to evolve, we are seeing a growing appetite not just for authentic urban narratives, but increasingly for stories rooted in rural India as well. Gram Chikitsalay reflected this trend through its slice-of-life storytelling and emotionally resonant themes. Following the overwhelming response to the first season, we are delighted to bring audiences the next journey of this rural comedy drama that continues to blend emotion, realism, and social commentary."
He further added, "The series marks another important chapter in our longstanding association with The Viral Fever, with whom we share a vision of bringing culturally rooted and emotionally engaging stories that connect with audiences across languages and geographies."
Director Lalitam Tiwari said the new season goes beyond comedy and continues to focus on life in rural India.
"With Gram Chikitsalay Season Two, we are excited to continue a story that has always been about much more than just a rural comedy drama for us. Since season one, our aim has been to authentically capture rural life in all its realities. The new season builds on that vision by depicting the challenges of delivering healthcare, the quirks, deep community bonds, and resilience that define rural living, brought to life by nuanced and relatable characters," he said.
The first season followed Dr. Prabhat's efforts to revive a struggling health centre in Bhathkandi. Season two will pick up from where the story left off and continue his journey as he deals with fresh obstacles in the village.

As someone from a small town, this show really hits close to home. The struggles of primary health centres in rural India are very real. I hope they show more ground reality this season too, not just comedy.
I watched season 1 during a trip to India and loved it! Great to see Prime Video investing in stories from rural heartlands. The international release is awesome - more people need to see this gem.
TVF never fails to deliver quality content 👌 But I hope they don't drag it unnecessarily like some other shows. The first season was perfect in its length. Also, Dinesh Lal Yadav joining is exciting - nirahua ka magic!
Finally a show that doesn't just focus on Delhi-Mumbai. Rural India is full of stories waiting to be told. The casting looks solid too - Vinay Pathak is a treat to watch always. June 23 can't come soon enough!
Season 1 was a pleasant surprise. I appreciate how it balances humour with serious issues like healthcare access in villages. Hope the new season maintains that same heart and authenticity.
