What time will Netflix’s upcoming limited series ‘Crime Stories: India Detectives’ release around the world and is the series actually a true story?

The ‘True Crime’ television genre is everyone’s not-so-guilty pleasure. However, the vast majority of true crime documentary series are filmed years, if not decades, after the central incident actually occurred.

This week, Netflix are bringing us another true crime documentary series that adds an intense twist to this format, being filmed entirely in real time as crimes are reported.

Incredibly, ‘Crime Stories: India Detectives’ could therefore be considered as the “most-true crime series out there” – with the police investigations taking place only back in 2019.

So, what is Crime Stories: India Detectives’ about and what time will the highly anticipated series release around the world?

What is Crime Stories: India Detectives?

Crime Stories: India Detectives is a limited true crime documentary series from Minnow Films and distributed by Netflix.

The series will showcase four investigations from the Bengaluru City Police Department that occurred in 2019, revealing the details and complications that come with officers must consider during every high-stakes investigation.

“The series follows major criminal investigations from the moment the crime is reported through to the capture of the suspects. From murder to kidnap to extortion, each film tracks a shocking and compelling case in the heart of India’s Silicon Valley.” – First Post.

Speaking to the media, Police Commissioner for the Bengaluru City Police N Shashi Kumar revealed that the events of the series were filmed in real time.

“While I was working in the North division of Bengaluru City there were three cases reported and they are shown in real time in this Crime documentary series. The series is not fictional but shot in real-time from the time of offence reported. They frequently interacted with the police, victim’s family and media.” – N Shashi Kumar, via Mangalorean.

A big moment for Kannada productions…

In July 2021, Netflix made a significant advancement into the Indian market and announce an ‘India South’ account page.

However, it has been slow-going since then for Kannada original productions, with only a handful titles being available on the platform on all Netflix’s international versions: Mundina Nildana, Uturn, Ayana, Wild Dog and Nathicharami.

As noted by the Deccan Herald, “the Kannada audience has constantly demanded more original content from the streaming giant.”

Whilst various titles from Southern and Central Asia are available in the Kannada audio language, the release of Crime Stories: India Detectives will mark the first original production on the streaming giant.

“With just four Kannada original films in its platform as of now, Netflix has not engaged much with the Kannada consumers on social media. The announcement of ‘Crime Stories: India’s Detectives!’ has finally brought some cheer to fans.” – Deccan Herald.
