Created and show run by Vikramaditya Motwane and Satyanshu Singh, who also serve as co-directors alongside Ambiecka Pandit, Arkesh Ajay and Rohin Raveendran Nair, the series follows a newly appointed jailer, Sunil and his colleagues as they navigate a system that challenges everything they believe.

Zahan Kapoor makes his series debut as Sunil Kumar Gupta, joined by an ensemble including Rahul Bhat, Paramvir Singh Cheema, Anurag Thakur and Sidhant Gupta, each playing pivotal roles in this gripping and gritty tale.

The series is a dramatized adaptation of the author and former superintendent at Tihar Jail, Sunil Gupta and journalist-author Sunetra Choudhury’s book, ‘Black Warrant: Confessions Of A Tihar Jailer’ and marks Vikramaditya Motwane's return to long-form storytelling on Netflix, kicking off India's 2025 slate. Speaking about adapting the book into the series, Vikramaditya Motwane had earlier said, "Black Warrant is a book that is raw, intense, and authentic and immediately demands to be brought to life. Collaborating with Netflix, Applause Entertainment, and Confluence has been incredible, and I’m grateful to have had partners who have supported me and the team in telling this story the way it deserves to be told."

Presented by Applause Entertainment, an Andolan Production in collaboration with Confluence Media, the series is inspired by true events and is set in the 1980s. Watch Black Warrant on January 10, only on Netflix.
