After entertaining audiences with back-to-back successes in Khakee, Trial By Fire, Rana Naidu, Class and Toothpari, Netflix will soon drop another genre-defining drama series! Come June 2nd, Hansal Mehta and Netflix will bring audiences a new series - Scoop. The intriguing drama will have audiences unravel the Scoop, which will be headlined by Karishma Tanna, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Harman Baweja.
Produced by Matchbox Shots, season one of the series is inspired by real events and Jigna Vora’s book, Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison, serving as the show’s maiden instalment. Bringing his compelling storytelling to Netflix after Scam 1992, director Hansal Mehta's ardent curiosity about the inner workings of the world of crime reporting will ignite a new franchise, Scoop.
Created by Hansal Mehta and Mrunmayee Lagoo Waikul, the first season will track crime journalist Jagruti Pathak. In pursuit of a career-defining story, she is caught between the powerful nexus of the police, the underworld, and the media when she is charged with the murder of a fellow journalist.

The gripping trailer for Scoop showcases society’s rush to judgment as Jagruti, a headline-writing journalist is caught between the nexus of the police, the underworld, and the media. One single phone call sets off a chain of events.
Speaking about creating the first season of Scoop, director and co-creator Hansal Mehta said, "As a filmmaker, my intention is to always tell stories that go beyond a weekend. In Scoop, I found that: a story that speaks urgently to our post truth times. Collaborating with someone as gifted as Mrunmayee brought in a sensibility that deeply enriched the show. All of this would not have been possible without Netflix and Matchbox Shots who nurtured our deep dive into the personal and professional world of Jagruti Pathak, allowing our vision to blossom. With Netflix, the process of creation is always exciting and collaborative. Season one is just the beginning. I hope to keep exploring the story-rich world of media even further.”
