DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s MBC is releasing a crime drama titled “Rashash” that features an all-Saudi cast.
The eight-part series, set to drop on the broadcaster’s streaming service Shahid VIP on Jan. 21, was created by the UK’s Tony Jordan.
The show – based on a true story – is about a Saudi drug trafficker and a murderer who was caught by the police in the 1980s.
“Rashash” is directed by British filmmaker Collin Teague and written by Sheikha Suha Al-Khalifa, the daughter of a former Bahraini ambassador, and Richard Bellamy, a political scientist.
