Sequel

According to the director Shahrulezad, a sequel is being planned. He said: "I was asked to produce Nur 2, because people wanted to know what happened to Nur and Hamadi. However I thought that in general any piece of work should not be extended just because it received a good response. After many had requested for it to be produced, including the TV3, I finally got involved. I then had a new storyline and presented to the station. They are confident and agree with the story." Nur 2 is co-produced by iflix and available to stream for free.
