Trial by Fire is an emotional drama series based on the tragic real-life Uphaar Cinema fire. The tragedy that took place in Delhi in June 1997 during the afternoon screening of the movie Border claimed many lives and injured many more. Although many lives were affected by this traumatic event, the series primarily focuses on the arduous yet resilient journey of Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost their two kids – 17-year-old Unnati and 13-year-old Ujjwal. The series is based on their book titled Trial by Fire: The Tragic Tale of the Uphaar Fire Tragedy, and showcases their long legal battle for justice over two decades. Surprisingly, the fire broke out on Friday the 13th (June 13, 1997) and the series is also releasing on Friday the 13th (January 13, 2023).
Get set for an incredible journey to a world far beyond the fjords of Scandinavia and North Europe with the new season of Vikings: Valhalla. The series revolves around Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett) and his sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), as well as the Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter).
