The first season of the Hotstar Special featured Tisca Chopra and Ronit Roy in the lead.
Mishra said the work on season two is currently on in full swing.
"The edit of all the episodes are done. The background music is being done. We are a little slow because we can't meet, but things are happening. We are trying to adjust to this new way of working. I think the second season will come by May end," Mishra told reporters over Zoom call.
The first season of "Hostages" is making its TV debut on Star Plus from on Monday.The "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi" director said he hopes the TV audience embraces the web series.
"This is also an opportunity to check to what extent the TV audience is opening up. It is not necessary that they will only like over the top, loud storytelling. Maybe this will change the way we narrate stories on TV. In other places, TV had evolved tremendously before OTT came.
"Which was just an online platform. They were already making series like 'The Wire', 'The Sopranos'. Here, it was a jump. But maybe this is an opportunity. I am sure they will like it. A family can sit together and watch it. We haven't sensationalised just becase there was this freedom. It is not dark for the sake of it. It follows the integrity of the story," Mishra added.
