Amazon Prime Video has announced its next series, The Last Hour. Directed by Amit Kumar [not to be confused with the singer of the same name], the show is a supernatural crime thriller starring Sanjay Kapoor, Shahana Goswami, Karma Takapa, Raima Sen, Shaylee Krishen, Robin Tamang and Mandakini Goswami.
A statement from the makers said, “Set in a small Himalayan town, the series explores the story of a shaman (healer), who joins a newly transferred cop to track down a mysterious killer.”
Excited about the show, Kumar said, “I’m really thrilled that The Last Hour will be viewed by a truly global audience spread across almost 240 countries and territories. Asif Kapadia [executive producer] and I have worked together since our film school days, and when the chance to collaborate on this idea together came up, we grabbed it. Together with Anupama Minz, my co-creator and co-writer, we have created a unique supernatural show that, we feel confident, will be enjoyed by the audiences.”
The show is Kumar’s latest directorial venture after the acclaimed movie Monsoon Shootout (2017), starring Vijay Varma and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Speaking about the show, Kapadia added, “Amit and I share an interest in the supernatural and he is particularly fascinated by the concept of playing with time. We wanted to create a series that was original, authentic and riveting and are glad that this journey with Amazon Prime Video has been collaborative and supportive. I am so excited to launch The Last Hour to audiences across the world.”
The Last Hour will be streamed from 14 May.
