Last year, Netflix brought new life to the zombie sub-genre with Kim Seong-hun's "Kingdom," and they look to do the same this year with "Betaal," a zombie series based on Indian folklore from the creative team behind Netflix's "Ghoul."
Blumhouse Television comes together with SK Global Entertainment and Red Chillies Entertainment to present this horror-thriller series.
"The story is set in a remote village, which quickly becomes the arena of a breathless battle when a two-century-old East India Company Colonel, infected with the Betaal's curse, and his battalion of blood-thirsty zombie redcoats are released from their tomb - attacking anything with a pulse. With the CIPD (Counter Insurgency Police Department) forces pitted against the undead army, hapless civilians are trapped in a gripping, edge-of-your-seat conflict."
"Betaal" is created, directed and written by Patrick Graham, co-directed by Nikhil Mahajan and co-written by Suhani Kanwar. Starring Viineet Kumar, Aahana Kumra, Suchitra Pillai, Jitendra Joshi, Jatin Goswami, Manjiri Pupala, and Syna Anand, the series guarantees a nail-biting, gripping battle that will keep you hooked, while it explores age-old secrets and ideologies that live to this day.
"Betaal" premieres on May 24th, and you can get your first taste of the series in the trailer below.
