On the fateful day of December 24, 1999, Indian Airlines Flight IC 814 embarked on its journey from Kathmandu to New Delhi, unaware that it was on the brink of plunging into the heart of a dramatic seven-day odyssey of terror and intrigue. Following the announcement at Next on Netflix India, Netflix revealed today that IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack will launch on August 29.
After the critically acclaimed Monica, O My Darling and the genre-defining drama series Scoop, Netflix once again partners with Matchbox Shots in association with Benaras Mediaworks, to retell this harrowing story of terror, crisis, and heroism. Anubhav Sinha, renowned for his socially poignant storytelling, makes his streaming directorial debut with IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack. The series brings together industry stalwarts like Naseeruddin Shah and Pankaj Kapur, along with Vijay Varma, Arvind Swami, Dia Mirza, Patralekhaa, Amrita Puri, Kumud Mishra, Manoj Pahwa, and Squid Game star Anupam Tripathi.
Created and written by Anubhav Sinha and Trishant Srivastava, this six-episode series thrusts you into the nerve-wracking reality faced by passengers and crew trapped at 30,000 feet. With every moment steeped in tension, the series follows a relentless team in India racing against time, deciphering the hijackers ominous demands, and fighting against the odds to ensure the safe return of everyone on board.
