Fresh off of its premiere at the 15th Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, Sector 36 makes its exclusive global debut on Netflix. The thriller is inspired by a series of murders that took place in 2006 in Noida, near Delhi. The killer found his victims in the slums, and pleas for help from the impoverished parents of missing children were ignored by the police.

We’re keeping track of everything you need to know about Sector 36, including the plot, cast, trailers, and Netflix release date.
Sector 36 is co-produced by Jio Studios and Maddock Films, the studio behind the Netflix Original movies Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga and Murder Mubarak. The film is written by Bodhayan Roychaudhury and directed by Aditya Nimbalkar in his feature debut.
