Shaque: Trust No One premiered on Netflix on 24 September 2026. It is Parineeti Chopra's first web series. The seven-episode Hindi mystery thriller was shot in Shimla and is produced by Alchemy Productions.

Story

Nine years ago, Anvita's baby daughter was kidnapped from a hospital. She has never stopped searching. Every year since, a photograph of her growing daughter has arrived. The pictures keep her hope alive, but they also make her doubt everyone around her.

As she gets closer to the truth, she begins to suspect that the answer is not far away but hidden within her own circle. Netflix's tagline sums up the premise: when the truth will not come easily, a mother holds on to suspicion (shaque). We have kept the plot spoiler-free. The show is built around its reveals.

Netflix released the trailer on 10 September 2026, and the series premiered on 24 September.
