The Indian Detective is a Canadian crime comedy-drama series which debuted on CTV and Netflix in 2017. 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.
