Filmmaker Hansal Mehta’s upcoming series Scoop, set around the world of crime journalism, now has a release date. The show, starring Karishma Tanna, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Harman Baweja and Prosenjit Chatterjee, will premiere on Netflix on June 2.
Making the announcement on Twitter, Mehta wrote, “Proud to share that Scoop a series that Mrunmayee Lagoo, Matchbox Shots, Netflix and I have been nurturing for nearly 3 years streams from June 2, 2023.” The series is inspired by the book Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison by Jigna Vora, who was arrested on suspicion of being part of a conspiracy that led to the murder of her peer.
Created by Hansal Mehta and Mrunmayee Lagoo Waikul, the first season will track crime journalist Jagruti Pathak, played by Karishma Tanna who in pursuit of a career-defining story is caught between the powerful nexus of the police, the underworld, and the media, and is charged with the murder of a fellow-journalist. The show is written by Mrunmayee and Mirat Trivedi.
