Streaming platform Netflix and production banner Yash Raj Films (YRF) yesterday announced that their upcoming series ‘Mandala Murders’, headlined by Vaani Kapoor, will premiere on July 25.

The show is the second series from Netflix and YRF’s creative partnership, following the success of ‘The Railway Men’ in 2023, a PTI report stated.

‘Mandala Murders’, which marks Kapoor’s series debut, is a mythological-crime thriller series that delves into ancient secrets, eerie symbols and a trail of ritualistic killings.

In the eerie stillness of a town called Charandaspur, an unheard, sinister pattern of crime emerges. A series of ritualistic killings linked to a centuries-old secret society sets the stage for a conspiracy driven by fate, a statement from Netflix read.

Produced by YRF Entertainment and created by Gopi Puthran (of ‘Mardaani’ franchise fame), who also co-directed the series with Manan Rawat, ‘Mandala Murders’, the official statement stated is a genre-bending show packed with mystery, crime, myths and suspense.

A string of strange murders draws detectives Rea Thomas (Kapoor) and Vikram Singh (Vaibhav Raj Gupta) into a web of secrets as intricate as a mandala, revealing layers they never expected. As they decode mysterious symbols and hidden motives, they confront a secret society that has dangerously blurred the line between faith and madness.

The show is headlined by Kapoor, who is presented in a powerful new role, alongside powerhouse performers Gupta, Surveen Chawla and Shriya Pilgaonkar playing prime characters at the heart of the mystery.
