When drive, determination, and the never-ending chase to break the
Scoop - breaks the journalist, a harrowing sequence of events follows. Netflix
dropped the trailer for Hansal Mehta’s upcoming crime drama - Scoop today. 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.
Inspired by real events and Jigna Vora’s memoir, Behind Bars in
Byculla: My Days in Prison - the series is produced by Matchbox Shots and
created by Hansal Mehta and Mrunmayee Lagoo Waikul. The genre-defining drama
series is set to premiere on Netflix on June 2nd, 2023. Scoop marks Hansal
Mehta and Netflix’s maiden partnership with the first season of a franchise
chronicling the shocking sequence of events that unravel for an unsuspecting
journalist.
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.”
Monika Shergill, Vice President - Content - Netflix India said, “Scoop
brings to life the high stakes world of crime reporting through a dynamic and
driven journalist, Jagruti Pathak. Inspired by real events, it's a powerful,
untold story of the unexpected cost of ambition that can make a victim out of a
winner in a second. Partnering and enabling the vision and genius of Hansal
Mehta and Mrunmayee Lagoo Waikul and collaborating with Matchbox Shots has been
a great ride. Scoop with its powerhouse performances and bingeable drama will
be a defining series for all audiences in India.”
Adding to this, Producer Sarita Patil of Matchbox Shots said, “Matchbox
Shots is thrilled to collaborate with Netflix once more. After the success of
Monica, O My Darling, Scoop will be our first series and we are excited to
bring our best work to the service. We believe in the power of storytelling to
inspire and move audiences. With our passion for creating original content,
Hansal Mehta’s epic storytelling and Netflix's reach, we are confident that
Scoop will capture the hearts and minds of viewers around the world.”
