‘Snakes & Ladders’: Curated by Karthik Subbaraj and starring Naveen Chandra, Nandha, Manoj Bharathiraja, Prime Video’s latest Tamil series gets streaming date
Prime Video has announced a new Tamil web series. Curated by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by Kalyan Subramanian (A Stone Bench Production), Snakes & Ladders is created by Kamala Alchemis and Dhivakar Kamal, and directed by Ashok Veerappan, Bharath Muralidharan, and Kamala Alchemis.
Said to be a dark-humour thriller, the series stars Naveen Chandra, Nandha, Manoj Bharathiraja, Muthukumar, Srinda, Sreejith Ravi, Samrith, Surya Ragaveshwar, Surya Kumar, Tarun and Sasha Bharen in pivotal roles.
The nine-episode series is set to premiere on Prime Video in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide on 18 October in Tamil, with dubs in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
A statement from the makers read, “Set in the mid-2000s, this quirky, yet gripping dark-humour thriller truly celebrates friendship in all forms. The story follows the adventures of four school friends, Gilly, Irai, Sandy, and Bala, who find themselves inadvertently entangled in a conundrum. As they navigate various challenging situations and personal struggles, leaving inevitable trails, making questionable choices along the way, their journey ultimately leads them on an unexpected path of self-discovery.”
Karthik Subbaraj said, “It has been an absolute pleasure to work on Snakes and Ladders, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Prime Video on this project. Bringing the story of these four friends to life has been an incredibly exhilarating experience. Each character in the series is unique, with their own distinct personality and complex relationships that reflect the ups and downs of teenage life. The journey of unravelling a mystery that intertwines their lives will keep the audience hooked from beginning to end. We aimed to craft a narrative that entertains while also tapping into the nuances of friendship, personal growth, and the meaningful bonds and lessons that will resonate with viewers. I am confident that the series will captivate audiences worldwide on Prime Video.”
