The Indian Detective is a Canadian crime comedy-drama series which debuted on CTV and Netflix in 2017."Russell Peters, Frank Spotnitz Partner for ‘The Indian Detective’ Series". Variety, June 7, 2016. The show stars Russell Peters as Doug D'Mello, a police officer from Toronto who becomes embroiled in a murder investigation while visiting his father (Anupam Kher) in Mumbai during a one-month suspension for incompetence. The fourth episode ended in a cliffhanger, hinting at a possible second season; while Peters has stated at various times that a second season was in the works, none has been officially announced as of September 2019.
As of January 2020, Peters entered a partnership with Amazon Prime with the comedic special "Russell Peters: Deported," possibly delaying season 2 of The Indian Detective even further.
