Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'ghul' in Arabic folklore isn't generic demon—it's a shapeshifter that feeds on the dead and lives in deserts/ruins. The series weaponizes this specifically as a tool of colonial and state violence, making the monster an instrument of karmic reckoning rather than random evil.
Patrick Graham originally developed this as a feature film for Blumhouse, then restructured it as a miniseries for Netflix India. The compression to three episodes was deliberate—he wanted no escape from the interrogation room's pressure cooker.
