In case you weren't already aware, a ton of new shows are coming out this Summer [1]. While we can't guarantee you'll fall in love with all of them, we have a feeling you won't be able to resist Sacred Games, an upcoming crime drama coming to Netflix. The first trailer dropped on May 4, and from the looks of things, there's going to be plenty of twists, turns, and drama to keep us entertained.

The 8-episode Indian series has been adapted from Vikram Chandra's award-winning 2006 novel of the same name, and revolves around a prickly cop named Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) working in Mumbai. When he's tipped off about the location of notorious crime lord Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), their lives begin to collide in unexpected (and shockingly violent) ways. The story explores the emotionally-charged worlds of organised crime and politics in contemporary India, all of which hinge around major corruption.

The series was shot on location in India and will hit the streaming service on July 6, so in the meantime, check out the intriguing trailer above.
