a filmmaker, the idea of creating diverse and dynamic stories constantly keeps
me on my toes. What excites me about this partnership with Netflix, which is
home to some of the finest talent, is the potential for my work to reach
viewers across the world. As was the case with Scoop, Netflix is engaged in the
creative process right from scripting, all the way to marketing and
distribution which is critical for the success of any creative collaboration.
This long-term partnership with them is only going to empower me to dive into a
variety of undiscovered stories.”

"Hansal is a master of his craft and has an eye for spotting stories that
have a broad appeal and are relevant to a wide audience. Being a nuanced
storyteller, he is able to tell these stories like no other. Scoop marks yet
another success for our series line-up this year, and with this partnership we
look forward to never-before-seen stories that audiences will love.”
