The 2019 crime drama Cheekh, was one of the most successful and acclaimed dramas of 2019.

Critical opinion on his acting prowess was overwhelming; critic Maliha Rehman of Dawn wrote, "Bilal has been proving his acting brilliance for some time now, completely personifying every character that he plays.

Khan concluded the year with the #MeToo movement-based thriller series Dunk, where he played the hot-headed love interest of Sana Javed's character, alongside her, Noman Ijaz, and Yasra Rizvi. Khan described his character as "a very realistic one. Haider is an honest guy who stands with the truth and fights for what is right." Based on a real-life story of a family in Sargodha, Dunk generated controversy when its producer, Fahad Mustafa, stated against the sexual harassment cases, citing that many of the men are falsely accused. Muna Moini of Something Haute found the series to be "a multi-layered drama full of powerful performances."
