There will be two seasons of the series, the first season will comprise nine episodes based on Anand Neelakantan’s book, The Rise of Sivagami. The series follows Queen Sivagami’s journey from a rebellious and vengeful girl to a wise and unequalled queen. Here is the trailer of the prequel series:
SS Rajamouli said in a statement, “The world of Baahubali is extensive and immersive with strong characters and larger than life kingdoms. The films Baahubali -The Beginning and The Conclusion, are from one story set in this world and more dramatic stories were broadly conceived while building the universe. The Baahubali Series, a prequel to the films, is one such story. I am very excited that this is being adapted as a Netflix Original Series. With Netflix as our partner, we have the opportunity to create a rich and riveting series and take this quintessential Indian epic to the world, which is very gratifying to me as a story-teller.”
