[2] After 27 years, a sequel named "Olper's Tanhaiyan: Naye Silsilay" started airing at 8 pm every Saturday on PTV and ARY Digital from 20 October 2012.

The plot is about gaps in relationships developed over the years in the lives of characters owing to events they faced and how, going forward, things can change for the better.

The serial revolves around Saniya coming to terms with her sister's death and wanting answers from Zain, who refuses to explain what happened to Zara.

Serena remains optimistic and upbeat, forming a bond with her aunt Saniya and Bibi and wanting to stay in Pakistan because being with her relatives makes her feel close to her mother.

Bibi continues to provide humour in the house, often pushing around the new maid in the same way Aapa Begum (Azra Sherwani) treated Buqrat (Jamshed Ansari).

Zeniya, who still wants to return home, meets Zarak (Shehryar Munawar Siddiqui), who works at the youth centre that Saniya manages, hoping to open his own school.

It is revealed that Zara once again became withdrawn and depressed when they moved to the United States, furthermore, she was angry and upset that Zain had a female business partner.

[6][7] In an interview with Dawn, Haseena Moin voiced her disappointment with the sequel, criticizing Marina Khan's direction, Mohammad Ahmed's writing, and the sponsor's association with the project.

Due to her creative differences with the team, she was unwilling to have her name attached to the series and even asked to remove it from the credits.
