Netflix to make first India-set original series based on novel Sacred Games

Netflix, in an attempt to boost subscribers in India has announced it first India-set original series. The series will be based on Vikram Chandra's critically acclaimed best-selling gangster thriller novel Sacred Games. 

The Hindi-English series has been shot in Mumbai and delves into the city's intricate web of organised crime, corruption, politics and espionage that lie beneath India's economic renaissance. Upon completion, the series will also be available to Netflix members globally, although the release date is not known.

Netflix has partnered with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's Phantom Films to produce the series. The partnership builds upon Netflix' earlier relationship with Kashyap, whose 2012 critically acclaimed two-part epic movie Gangs of Wasseypur streamed as an eight part series on Netflix' U.S service last year.

Earlier this year in January, Netflix announced it global expansion into 130 new countries including India.
