Killer Soup, the first Hindi original series from Netflix in 2024, is all set for its premiering. The OTT giant has released the trailer of the web show.
Malayalam actor Lal will star in this eight-episode crime comedy series alongside Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sen Sharma. Manoj Vajpayee plays a dual role in the web series.
The web show is directed by Abhishek Chaubey, who earlier helmed Udta Punjab (2016), Sonchiriya (2019), and Ray (2021).
The trailer of Killer Soup introduces Konkona Sen Sharma as Swati Shetty, a home chef who joins hands with her love interest to get rid of her husband — Umesh (Manoj Vajpayee).
Swati and Umesh soon find themselves as suspects in a murder case.
Chetana Kowshik and Honey Trehan bankrolled the show.
Killer Soup will be streamed on Netflix on 11 January.
Killer Soup features Malayalam actor Lal in a pivotal role. The trailer also shows the actor.
When contacted, Lal said he does not want to comment about his role in Killer Soup. The Malayalam actor also revealed that he did not watch the web series but hoped that his role might have come out well.
Malayalam actor Kani Kusruti also plays a key role in the web show.
Killer Soup also features Nassar, Sayaji Shinde, Anbuthasan, and Anula Navlekar.
It is created and written by Unaiza Merchant, Anant Tripathi, Harshad Nalawade, and Abhishek Chaubey.

According to the makers, the web series is loosely inspired by a real-life incident in 2017.
“Swathi Shetty is an aspiring chef who wants nothing but the world to enjoy her paya soup. One accident sets off a series of mishaps and hasty cover-ups that land her and her lover in hot soup,” the makers said.
In a statement, Manoj Bajpayee said, “For the first time in my career, I will be playing a double role — both starkly different from each other.”
He added, “I trusted Abhishek Chaubey’s directorial prowess, our collaborator Netflix, and the stellar cast that breathed life into characters to create a surreal pot-boiler unlike any other stemming from an accidental crime. At its heart, Killer Soup is a crime thriller that blends multiple genres, making it a delicious serving that everyone can enjoy.”
Konkona Sen Sharma said, “Stepping into Swathi Shetty’s shoes was a unique experience for me. The character has depth and darkness and packs a lot of punch. Working on the series with long-time collaborators Netflix and Abhishek Chaubey and a talented set of actors was a delight.”
She added, “The trailer offers a glimpse into the quirky world we’ve created set against the background of a sleepy town. With hints of suspense peppered through the series, it makes you wonder, ‘Will she or won’t she get caught, and will the soup boil over?’ I eagerly await the audience’s reaction when they watch Killer Soup.”
