Streaming platform Netflix has announced a revenge drama series titled ‘CAT’, featuring Randeep Hooda in the lead.

The series, which comes from creator and showrunner Balwinder Singh Janjua, marks Hooda’s second collaboration with the streamer after the 2020 hit movie ‘Extraction’.

‘CAT’ is dubbed as a crime thriller set against the backdrop of the Punjab hinterlands and follows the story of an innocent man, who is thrown into a deep, drug trafficking conspiracy between gang lords, cops and political powers, PTI reported from Mumbai.

“Working with Netflix is always a pleasure. I had a tremendous time during ‘Extraction’ and the love it got me from around the world was phenomenal. ‘CAT’ again has all the elements to appeal to a global audience. It has allowed me to explore new facets as an actor in a simple but intriguing script. Can’t wait to see the audience reaction to the series,” the 45-year-old actor said in a statement.

Janjua, who earlier worked as a writer on films such as ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ and ‘Mubarakan’, has co-directed the show with Rupinder Chahal and Anutej Singh.

‘CAT’ is produced by Movie Tunnel Productions in association with Jelly Bean Entertainment.

Janjua and Chahal have written for the series along with Anil Rodhan and Jimmy Singh.
