Do you love to watch heist series? How many heist series have you watched? A heist film or caper film refers to a kind of crime film that pays more attention to the planning, execution, and consequences of a robbery. Released in 1950, The Asphalt Jungle is one of the best heist films and it had robbers whose robbery attempts failed.
The list continues with Armored Car Robbery, The Getaway, and more. These kinds of films started including a comedy in a heist from the 90s. As you know well, we are going to discuss a brand new show that is scheduled to premiere soon and the show’s name is Jigsaw.
Jigsaw is an American heist drama series that was created by American author Eric Garcia. Garcia is also the executive producer of the series including Jordan Sheehan, Russell Fine, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Ridley Scott, Justin Levy, David W. Zucker, and Fred Berger.
The creators featured Rufus Sewell, Jordan Mendoza, Giancarlo Esposito, Tati Gabrielle, Niousha Noor, Rosaline Elbay, Paz Vega, Jai Courtney, and Peter Mark Kendall as the leads of the series.
Jigsaw Release Date
Netflix announced on September 16, 2021, that they had been planning to create an eight-episode series called Jigsaw. Filming for the show started at Bushwick, Brooklyn-based Netflix Studios on September 1, 2021, and was the first production at the mentioned location. Filming was also held at 28 Liberty in Manhattan’s financial district, eventually ending on March 16, 2022.
The first episodes of the series were directed by Brazilian film director Jose Padilha. The episodes will be helmed by Everardo Gout and Mairzee Almas. Even though the filming of the series concluded, the makers still have not confirmed the release date of the series yet. Since the filming of the series has wrapped, we can predict that the series will be released in late 2022 or early 2023. But the makers have confirmed that the series will have eight episodes.
Jigsaw Storyline
Jigsaw is confirmed to be a show based on a heist where a group of thieves with different skills collaborates for something big. This is the story of the biggest heist ever and is inspired by the events of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 when the flood resulting from the rain-soaked around $70 billion of bearer bonds in New York City. However, the major difference will be that here we would get to see that the bonds have been stolen, while they were only damaged.
This will be a non-linear story and will take place on different timelines starting from 24 years before the heist to one year after the heist. Netflix had once stated on Twitter that Jigsaw will be different compared to other shows. The Hollywood Reporter said that the show will be something where you would be able to choose your adventure. In short, audiences will be able to choose the way they want to see all the episodes eventually resulting in a grand finale.
Heist-based shows are sometimes made in case the makers and streaming platforms decide to bring something unique and new to the audiences. Money Heist has already been a big hit on Netflix and it seems like other producers and production companies are trying to attempt something similar to win the hearts of the audiences. Considering the storyline, this one is expected to be a hit and should receive positive reviews from critics. Time will say if it gets renewed for another season.
