The streaming giant shared the intriguing trailer

The streaming giant shared the trailer of the series and wrote, "The Game: You Never Play Alone."

The series also touches on the challenges faced by an independent female game developer against misogynistic online attacks. Produced by Applause Entertainment, this Tamil thriller is directed by Rajesh M. Selva, written by Deepthi Govindarajan, and co-written by Selva and Karthik Bala.

About The Game: You Never Play Alone

As technology becomes increasingly unmanageable, the series intertwines the suspense of a thriller with the drama of familial strife, the vulnerability of connections, and the disturbing dilemma of whom (or what) to rely on as the distinction between reality and virtuality starts to disintegrate.

Rajesh M. Selva and Shraddha Srinath talked about the series

Director Rajesh M. Selva said, "With The Game, I wanted to explore the fragile line between the worlds we build and the lives we live. It's a mix of genres, a high-stakes thriller layered with family drama and the complexities of relationships. In today's hyper-connected age, nothing remains just virtual. What happens on a screen can bleed into reality, with consequences we cannot control. Beneath every mask lies a truth, and in confronting those truths, the story finds its power. Bringing this vision to life as my first Tamil original with Netflix has been an immensely rewarding experience."

Shraddha Srinath added, "Stepping into the role of an independent woman who is also a gaming developer was both thrilling and daunting. Entering a thriller zone where the very world my character created turns against her and becomes a haunting reality she cannot escape felt challenging. Working with Rajesh, who brings so much intensity and depth to every frame, made the journey unforgettable. And with Netflix, we wanted to reach a worldwide audience who would connect to this story — its urgency, its fear, and its humanity. The trailer captures that constant tension: what's real, and is there ever a way out?"
