New Delhi, May 25 -- 'Prime Video' announced June 5 as the worldwide premiere date of its upcoming 'Prime Original' series 'The Pyramid Scheme'. Produced by 'The Viral Fever', created by Shreyansh Pandey, directed by Ashish R Shukla and Shreyansh Pandey, this drama explores the intriguing yet complex world of pyramid schemes and the dangerous lure of the quick money they promise.
The series features an ensemble cast with Paramvir Singh Cheema, Ranvir Shorey, Shekhar Suman, Aanjjan Srivastav, Alfia Jafry and Ashish Raghava in the lead roles and supported by Akhilendra Mishra, Smita Bansal, Vijay Kumar, Indresh Malik, Ravi Bhel, Sushant Singh, Sonal Jha and Sadanand Patil in pivotal roles.
'The Pyramid Scheme', set against the backdrop of culturally rich Haridwar, follows Goldy (Cheema), a charming and enterprising young man chasing a better life, who somehow finds himself pulled into the flashy, weirdly convincing world of pyramid marketing. As he joins hands with the grounded and deeply sincere Manoj Srivastava (Shorey), what begins as aspirations for a better life soon spirals into something darker, driven by greed, ambition and betrayal.
"At 'Prime Video', we remain committed to championing authentic, emotionally resonant stories that reflect the diverse voices and aspirations of India. Our upcoming drama 'The Pyramid Scheme' exemplifies this," said Manish Menghani, director & head of content licensing, 'Prime Video, India'. "What makes this series compelling is the way it brings to life the relatable themes of ambition and aspiration and how the pursuit of a better life can influence one's choices, both good and bad. Led by standout performances from Paramvir Singh Cheema, along with Ranvir Shorey and Shekhar Suman in striking new avatars, the narrative balances humour, drama and emotions with authenticity and emotional depth."
Vijay Koshy, President, 'The Viral Fever' (TVF), shared, "With this series, we wanted to explore ambition, validation and the world of pyramid schemes, something not really shown on screen. We are delighted to once again collaborate with our longstanding partner, 'Prime Video', whose continued trust and support have enabled us to take such unique stories far and wide, not only to every corner of the country but also across the world. With Ashish R Shukla and Shreyansh Pandey's brilliant vision, along with a powerhouse cast that brings intensity and authenticity to every character, we believe 'The Pyramid Scheme' will be a compelling watch for viewers when it premieres exclusively on 'Prime Video' on June 5."
