Produced by Mammoth Screen, part of ITV Studios, The Serpent is a co-production between BBC One and Netflix. What transpires is an extraordinary chain of events that will see Sobhraj become Interpol’s most wanted man, with arrest warrants in multiple continents.

Eventually, the pair are joined by police around the world as well as witnesses of Sobhraj’s devious manipulation. When Herman Knippenberg (Billy Howle), a junior diplomat at the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok, unwittingly walks into this intricate web of crime, he and his wife Angela (Ellie Bamber) start their own investigation. He posed as a gem dealer and traveled with his girlfriend Marie-Andrée Leclerc (Jenna Coleman) across Thailand, Nepal and India in 19, carrying out a spree of crimes before becoming the chief suspects in a series of murders of young Western travelers. In the 1970s, this merciless murderer would prey on travelers exploring the 'hippie trail' of South Asia. The eight-episode limited series is inspired by shocking true events and unravels the complicated story of conman and serial killer Charles Sobhraj (Tahar Rahim) and the remarkable attempts to bring him to justice.
