Netflix India announced their next title- 'Killer Soup' today and we are in for a cinematic treat. In the serene town of Mainjur, located in the southern part of India, a whimsical narrative unfolds to the enchanting melody of the timeless classic "Tu hi re."

Drawing loose inspiration from a news headline, the Netflix series, Killer Soup, weaves a tantalizing blend of intrigue and dark humor, appealing to every discerning palate. Helmed by the adept Abhishek Chaubey, co-written by Chaubey himself, and produced by Honey Trehan and Chetana Kowshik, this bizarre crime series boasts a stellar ensemble cast featuring Manoj Bajpayee, Konkona Sensharma, Nasser, Sayaji Shinde, and Lal.

In the heart of this quaint town, Killer Soup weaves an unimaginable crime story, seasoned with twists and turns, all infused with Chaubey's signature dark humor. Audiences are in for a treat as they savor the unique offering brought to life by this exceptional team.

The narrative follows Swathi Shetty, an aspiring yet untalented home chef, who concocts a peculiar plan to replace her husband, Prabhakar, with her lover, Umesh. However, when a hapless local inspector and amateur villains inadvertently stir the pot, the carefully laid-out plan takes an unexpected turn, resulting in a recipe for chaos.

Director, co-writer, and showrunner Abhishek Chaubey shares his insight, stating, "With 'Killer Soup,' we aimed to provide the audience with the liberty to laugh while being completely shocked—a crime thriller seamlessly blending humor and quirkiness. The series goes over the top, featuring an exceptional cast, including Manoj Bajpayee, Konkona Sensharma, Nasser, Sayaji Shinde, and Lal. Crafting this series with Netflix has been a creatively fulfilling experience."
