Prime Video is gearing up to expand its Tamil originals slate with a gritty new thriller series headlined by Regena Cassandrra, marking a significant milestone in the actor’s OTT journey. The yet-untitled project is being described by industry sources as a dark, character-driven crime drama, tonally aligned with acclaimed international series like Mare of Easttown.
Regena will play the central protagonist in the series, which reportedly places strong emphasis on psychological depth, investigative tension, and emotionally layered storytelling. Known for her versatility across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema, the actor’s casting signals Prime Video’s intent to anchor the show around a powerful, performance-led narrative rather than conventional procedural formats.
The series will be directed by Nithin Lukose, the Kerala-based filmmaker and sound designer whose debut feature Paka (The River of Blood) made a strong impact on the international festival circuit. Paka was presented by Anurag Kashyap. Lukose’s background in sound design and atmospheric storytelling is expected to lend the series a distinctive, immersive tone. More details regarding the cast, title, and release timeline are expected to be announced soon, but the collaboration between Regena Cassandrra and Nithin Lukose has already generated strong buzz across industry circles.
