The reign of the Tripathis in Purvanchal is over. Guddu and Golu are pitted against a new contender as they stake their claim to the throne. Will they pass the baptism of fire to become the undisputed rulers or will external forces seek to destroy the seat of power forever.
fter a four-year gap between seasons, the gangs and guns and hinterland series Mirzapur finally returns. Having killed their adversary Munna Tripathi (Divyenndu) at the end of season two, grievously injuring his father, Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi), Golu Gupta (Shweta Tripathi) and Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal) are focused on consolidating their grip on Purvanchal.
The 10-episode third season swings between chaos and confusion, between strategizing and angst, between conflict, connivance and gruesome bloodshed. For the most part, the central characters are grappling with ambition to occupy the coveted throne of Mirzapur, which rules over the gangsters of the region. At the same time, they are trying to swat off the emotional tug of romantic attraction and filial loyalty.

The battle for the strongest, most powerful bahubali ranges across the region—with the main contenders being Sharad Shukla (Anjumm Sharma) from Jaunpur and Guddu, who is now the self-appointed King of Mirzapur. Sharad also forms an alliance with Madhuri Yadav. Besides, he’s shielding Kaleen Bhaiya, whose unconfirmed death poses a perennial threat to his scheming wife Beena (Rasika Dugal) and to Guddu’s tenuous position.
