Asim Abbasi and Mo Azmi Step Into 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' Season 2

Pakistani filmmaker and cinematographer bring a darker, more grounded visual identity to one of Netflix and BBC's most-watched young adult thrillers

Zoya Mahroosh ZulfiqarJUN 12, 2026
As Pakistan's highly anticipated first-ever Netflix Original series, Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo (en.wikipedia.org) stands as a monumental milestone for South Asian television, bringing together a stellar powerhouse ensemble cast that includes global icons Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Sanam Saeed, and Ahad Raza Mir, alongside brilliant talents like Iqra Aziz, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and Hania Aamir. Masterfully adapted from the acclaimed 2013 bestselling Urdu novel by Farhat Ishtiaq and helmed by veteran showrunner Momina Duraid, the narrative weaves a deeply emotional and poetic tale of romance, trauma, and psychological healing. The plot beautifully traces the overlapping lives of Sikandar, a brilliant but reclusive Harvard law graduate burdened by a deeply shattering past, and Liza, a vibrant, soulful artist who masks her own profound history of pain with an infectious lust for life. Their transformative, fate-bound encounter in the picturesque streets of Italy sparks a turbulent journey of mutual emotional restoration, spanning striking cinematic backdrops across Italy, the United Kingdom, and Pakistan. Following several high-profile post-production extensions to meet the streaming platform's rigorous global technical benchmarks, the grand production has concluded filming, with recent confirmation from the cast pointing toward a global release window slated for 2027.

The upcoming Canadian mystery-thriller miniseries "Below" is scheduled to premiere globally on Netflix on Thursday, October 8, 2026, following a special sneak peek world premiere in the Primetime program at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 10, 2026. Created and written by Jesse McKeown, this highly anticipated six-episode limited series is set in the remote, close-knit fishing community of Snooks Arm, Newfoundland, where a terrifying, unidentified sea creature emerges from the ocean to terrorize the locals. The narrative centers on Calvin Penney (played by Josh Hartnett), a stubborn but big-hearted fisherman deeply haunted by his father's mysterious death from decades prior, who must fight to protect his family and preserve his community's vanishing way of life. He is joined by an impressive ensemble cast, including Charlie Heaton as his son, Wade Penney, and Mackenzie Davis as Fonda Howander, a visiting marine researcher who teams up with Calvin to uncover the island's buried secrets, alongside supporting performances from Natasha Henstridge, Ruby Stokes, and Rohan Campbell.
