Booker Prize winner Aravind Adiga’s novel will be adapted as a Netflix original series, announced the Netflix Inc. on Thursday. Titled ‘Selection Day’, the series is one of the two Indian originals to be launched by the internet television network.
‘Again,’ the second series, is a supernatural, female-led detective saga set in New Delhi. It is written by Marisha Mukerjee, best known for writing the Priyanka Chopra-starring ABC series ‘Quantico.’
"We are excited to be expanding our slate of originals in India. These projects have specifically local subjects, but will be great for our global audience, and are supported by world class talent," said Erik Barmack, vice president of international original series at Netflix said in a press release.
'Selection Day,’ a story of cricket and corruption, is a coming-of-age story depicting the glory and rivalry in Mumbai. It will be produced in partnership with Seven Stories, a UK-based production company of Directors Sharon Maguire and Anand Tucker.
‘Again’ tells the story of a female homicide detective who must put her career and life on the line when a recent murder connects to closed cases from her past, proving she has a serial killer on her hands. As she seeks justice, the answers she uncovers along the way not only affect her life, but also challenge the faith, beliefs, and relationships of everyone surrounding her.
