    Irish show 'Blood' gets Indian version backed by Disney+ Hotstar
    Irish show 'Blood' has Carolina Main playing the lead character, Cat Hogan.

    Disney+ Hotstar is set to launch Blood, an Indian adaptation of the Irish show by the same name. While Mihir Desai is at the helm of the project, Gurmmeet Singh is on board as the showrunner. The premiere date has not been announced yet. The English-language psychological thriller had started airing in 2018 and the show got its second series in April-May 2020.

    Why does this story matter?

    The Irish show was directed by Lisa Mulcahy, Hannah Quinn, Maurice Sweeney, and Laura Way and starred Carolina Main. It has won several Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTA) trophies and received numerous nominations, too. If this isn't interesting enough, Desai being signed as the director of this series excites us all the more. After all, who can forget his exemplary work in Mirzapur?

    'Blood' is a quintessential universal story, said makers

    Namit Sharma, CEO of Dreamers & Doers Co., said Blood is "dark, delicious and deceptive." "Blood is a quintessential universal story - where fractured family dynamics come out to play with the matriarch's death as a trigger. Our showrunner Gurmmeet Singh and director Mihir Desai have crafted the series with passion and care and we couldn't be more proud of this fact," Sharma added.
