Bring Back CID — Fans Demand CID Season 3, OTT Revival & Justice to the Legacy


Bring Back CID — Fans Demand CID Season 3, OTT Revival & Justice to the Legacy
The Issue
For more than two decades, CID has been more than just a television show — it has been a companion, a memory, a comfort, and a symbol of Indian pop culture. Generations grew up watching the legendary ACP Pradyuman, Daya, Abhijeet, Freddy, Dr. Salunkhe, and the entire CID team solving cases with intelligence, courage, humor, and heart.
Even today, no matter how much time has passed, CID still brings families together.
Parents, children, and even grandparents sit together to watch the same episodes they’ve watched countless times.
This is not just nostalgia — it is loyalty.
And this loyalty still beats strongly inside millions of fans across India and the world.
That is why the recent news of CID going off-air once again has left fans deeply hurt, disappointed, and confused.
We understand changes happen, seasons end, story arcs evolve — but CID’s sudden removal without clarity, closure, or continuity feels unfair to the legacy and to the loyal fanbase that has stood by the show for 25+ years.
We are not just disappointed because a show ended.
We are disappointed because our people — the cast and the team who gave their lives to CID — are being left without the justice they truly deserve.
They stayed loyal to the fans.
They gave their best even during difficult phases.
They carried CID like a family member, not a job.
And now, we fans refuse to let them go so easily.
We are raising our voice for:
- The legacy,
- The people,
- The art,
- And the millions of fans who still believe CID deserves a strong future.
📣 Our Demands (Detailed & Expanded)
1️⃣ We Want CID Season 3 With the Original Cast — Without Compromise
The identity of CID comes from the original cast:
- ACP Pradyuman
- Senior Inspector Abhijeet
- Senior Inspector Daya
- Dr. Salunkhe
These faces are not replaceable because they are the soul of CID.
They shaped the show’s humor, intensity, chemistry, and emotional depth.
A CID revival without them feels empty.
And fans deserve the real CID — not a watered-down version, not a reboot that ignores the legacy, and not a series that forgets the legends.
We want:
- A respectful comeback
- A powerful storyline
- Season 3 that continues the universe, not resets it
- CID must return with its original heartbeat.
2️⃣ New, Modern, High-Intensity Crime-Thriller Stories
CID has the potential to evolve beautifully in today’s world.
We want:
- More realistic, sharper investigations
- Darker, deeper, faster storytelling
- High-quality, modern crime-thriller production
- Less comedy fillers, more mystery and suspense
- Technology-driven cases
- Well-written arcs with emotional and dramatic progression
Fans are ready for a new era of CID —
one that keeps the classic charm but matches today’s storytelling standards.
3️⃣ If TRPs Are the Issue — Move CID Completely to OTT
CID’s digital performance speaks for itself:
- Old episodes trends daily
- CID remains one of the most watched legacy shows
- Clips, reels, edits, and compilations go viral every day
- Global audiences binge-watch CID on YouTube and OTT
- So if traditional TV ratings are a concern, the solution is simple:
👉 Shift CID fully to OTT.
Sony LIV, Amazon Prime, Netflix — any platform that values CID’s digital impact can take this forward.
On OTT:
- No TRP pressure
- No inconsistent time slots
- Freedom to create bold stories
- Longer or shorter formats possible
- Global reach
- Better production quality
CID already has a massive digital audience waiting.
OTT is the future CID deserves.
4️⃣ Keep CID at a Stable, Consistent Time Slot
One major reason shows lose viewership is unnecessary time-slot changes.
CID should have:
- A fixed premiere time
- A long-term schedule commitment
- No random shifts
- No last-minute changes
- Fans build habits around shows they love.
- Give CID a time slot — and respect it.
We promise the viewers will follow.
5️⃣ Add Character-Specific Storylines & Team-Focused Spin-Offs
CID has a universe rich enough to create:
- Special episodes centered on Daya
- Psychological thrillers focused on Abhijeet
- Leadership arcs centered on ACP Pradyuman
- Forensic-driven stories featuring Dr. Salunkhe
- Mini-series featuring smaller CID teams
- Origin stories or flashback-based narratives
- Fans LOVE the characters.
- Exploring their backstories, emotions, dilemmas, and strengths will make CID’s future even brighter.
❤️ Why This Petition Matters
CID is one of the longest-running crime investigation shows in the world.
It has entertained, educated, and inspired people of all ages.
Think about it:
- There are lakhs of memes, edits, reels
- There are years of continuous rewatching
- There are dialogues people still remember
- There is a fanbase that never died, even after the show ended
- CID is still trending even today
That proves something very important:
👉 CID is not past. CID is still present. CID is still alive.
And this petition represents millions of people who believe CID should have a dignified, powerful comeback — not silence, not uncertainty, not disrespect to the legacy.
🙏 Our Request to Sony TV & Banijay Productions (Respectfully)
We are not asking for the impossible.
We are simply asking for what CID and its team truly deserve:
✔ Announce CID Season 3 officially
✔ Bring back the original cast, not replacements
✔ Upgrade the show into a modern crime-thriller format
✔ Move the show to OTT if TRP is a limitation
✔ Maintain a consistent time slot
✔ Explore character-driven stories & spin-offs
✔ Respect and preserve the legacy built over 25 years
We sign this petition with loyalty, love, memories, and hope.
Because CID is more than entertainment — it’s a part of our identity.
✊ Fans Stand United — Forever CID
This petition is not just a request.
It is a movement.
A reminder that fans matter.
A declaration that CID deserves a future — not an abrupt end.
For the team who never gave up on us,
For the cast that shaped our childhood,
For the legacy that deserves respect,
For the millions of fans who still say “Daya, darwaza tod do” and "Kuch toh Gadbad hai...!" with love—
We demand justice, revival, and continuity.
It is time to bring CID back, stronger than ever.
