Amazon Studio’s Indian cricket thriller Inside Edge is up for an International Emmy Award!

The Emmy Awards are very well known across the world to showcase the best of American TV and Film. The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences also runs an international award series. The International Emmy Awards, established in 1973, honours the best television programmes produced and aired outside the United States of America. This year, some 44 shows from TV and SVOD across 20 countries have been nominated in  11 categories. 

And we have representation from India. The Amazon Studios series Inside Edge Season 1 is in the running for Best Drama. Based on a fictional T20 cricket team, Mumbai Mavericks that plays in the Powerplay League (akin to Indian Premier League), it is a thriller on the interwoven power plays in cricket, politics and Bollywood in India. Created and directed by Karan Anshuman, produced by Excel Entertainment, Amazon Prime Video’s first Indian original series premiered on July 10, 2017. It stars an ensemble cast of Richa Chadda, Tanuj Virwani, Vivek Oberoi, Angad Bedi, Sanjay Suri, Sarah Jane Dias, Sayani Gupta, Jitin Gulati, Amit Sial, Siddhant Chaturvedi and more.
