Job Trafficking OTT Release Date: Nimrat Kaur and Roshan Mathew’s Prime Video Series — Everything We Know

Prime Video has officially announced its gripping new Hindi Original series Job Trafficking, starring Nimrat Kaur and Roshan Mathew — and while it is currently filming, here is everything you need to know.

OTT Release Date: Not Yet Confirmed

Job Trafficking is currently in production and an official OTT release date has not yet been announced. The series is set to stream on Prime Video. The first look was unveiled on August 3, 2026, but no premiere date has been set at this stage.

Given that the series is now filming, a release window in late 2026 or early 2027 is plausible, though unconfirmed by the makers.

First Look Is Out: What Prime Video Announced

Prime Video has announced its new Hindi Original series Job Trafficking, starring Nimrat Kaur, Roshan Mathew, Kavya Trehan and Pavan Malhotra, and unveiled its first look.

The first-look video, shared by Prime Video on X and Instagram, offers an early glimpse into the world of the series and its lead characters. “What begins as an opportunity soon becomes a fight for survival. #JobTraffickingOnPrime, New Series, Now Filming,” read the caption.

The Story: Inside the Dark World of Job Trafficking and Online Scams

Job Trafficking is an unflinching fictional series that will plunge viewers into the dark heart of industrialised online scams.

The show explores “pig butchering” scams that involve perpetrators spending weeks or months building fake trust and false intimacy with victims online before draining them of money.

However, the series will explore a lesser considered part of the scam: young people lured by fake job offers, who are trafficked across borders and forced to become the scammers destroying innocent lives.

The series follows three strangers — a trapped scammer fighting to break free, a defrauded housewife seeking answers, and a CEO caught in the crossfire — whose paths collide in a dangerous web of fractured trust, deception, and exploitation.

Blending edge-of-your-seat suspense, raw emotion, and high-stakes drama, Job Trafficking offers an eye-opening journey into survival, resilience, and the fierce will to reclaim one’s humanity against impossible odds.

Setting: India and Southeast Asia

Set across India and Southeast Asia, the series is created and directed by Prashant Nair and produced by Pratik Khanuja, Sameer Chand, Vikesh Bhutani and Shujaat Saudagar under the banners of Select Media Holdings and Chalkboard Entertainment.

The Southeast Asian setting reflects the real-world geography of industrial scam compound operations that have come to global attention in recent years, particularly in countries like Myanmar and Cambodia.

The Cast

Nimrat Kaur (The Lunchbox, Dasvi), Roshan Mathew (Choked, Kappela), Kavya Trehan (The Royals) and Pavan Malhotra (Tabbar, Fouja) will take on lead roles in the eight-episode Hindi-language series.
