Netflix' new series, Bard Of Blood, looks quite fascinating. Starring Emraan Hashmi as a spy, the spy thriller is the first original developed by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies for the streaming giant. The trailer of the web series dropped today, August 22. The series is created by Bilal Siddiqi and Gaurav Verma and is directed by Ribhu Dasgupta and is based on a book by Bilal Siddiqi published by Penguin India.

Playing a former spy who has given up the gritty life for a peaceful one, Emraan Hashmi shared with mid-day, "You will first spot Kabir Anand in Mumbai as a literature professor, teaching Shakespeare in college. He is then reluctantly pulled into the battlefield because of a certain situation." However, a call from the PMO brings him back to the difficult terrain of Balochistan where he has to rescue four Indian Intelligence Wing (IIW) officers who have been captured.
