Classic characters, including ACP Pradyuman along with Abhijeet and Daya, will reportedly reprise their roles. While some cast members remain unconfirmed, fans are excited for the familiar faces set to return. Sadly, Dinesh Phadnis, who played the beloved character Fredericks, passed away and will not be part of this new chapter.
The TV channel recently announced the show’s comeback through social media, with an exciting promo scheduled for release on October 26. Reflecting on the show’s original conclusion, lead actor Shivaji Sattam (ACP Pradyuman) revealed that differences between the show’s producer and broadcaster contributed to its end, and a strategic schedule shift aimed to reduce viewership in its final days.
Now, CID is primed to engage a new generation of fans while reconnecting with its long-time viewers.
