Netflix’s latest heist drama series, Kaleidoscope, will premiere on January 1, 2023. The drama is directed by Eric Garcia and stars legendary American actor Giancarlo Esposito as cunning burglar Leo Pap.
Kaleidoscope will consist of eight episodes, all of which will be released at the same time. The series will be the first of its kind, with episodes distributed to Netflix subscribers in a randomized order. The series’ conclusion, however, will be the same for all viewers. Let’s take a closer look at the story and learn more about Kaleidoscope.
Kaleidoscope is based on a true story about $70 billion that vanished into thin air
According to the teaser, the plot of the show revolves around a group of small-time crooks who accept an offer from an unknown individual named Leo Pap to break into and loot America’s most secure bank, which they believe is the safest in the world.
Leo Pap is a craftsman with a bleak history as one of Manhattan’s wealthiest residents. The gang plans to rob the bank for $70 billion while engaging in cat and mouse with an FBI agent named Nazan. Pap employs criminals from various backgrounds, each with a unique skill set for robbing banks.
Eric Garcia, the show’s creator, told Tudum that the events in the Kaleidoscope are largely based on true events. He stated, ”
“In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, $70 billion in bonds were flooded in the basement of the DTCC, a massive clearing operation controlled by a number of major banks. ‘Wow, that’s a great coverup for a theft!’ I thought.
Giancarlo Esposito and Paz Vega star in the Netflix original series. Minor but pivotal roles are played by Jai Courtney, Rufus Sewell, Tati Gabrielle, Peter Mark Kendall, Rosaline Elbay, Niousha Noor, and Jordan Mendoza. Jai Courtney discussed his role as a bank robber in the upcoming Netflix series with CBR. He stated, ”
“To varying degrees, all of these characters are caught in a loop. On a human level, much of what the show examines is tearing them down, or where they degenerate, or if a character decides to step out of that, or even what they’re willing to do to stay in it.”
He went on to say:
“I believe it demands a lot of each of the characters, and I think there was a surprising amount of depth to explore, especially in a program with such a complicated narrative and so much action. The fact that we were able to live with these people to such an extent astounded me, and I believe the execution will be quite enjoyable for viewers.”
Kaleidoscope is produced by Scott Free Productions and Automatik Entertainment, with Garcia and Ridley Scott serving as executive producers alongside David W. Zucker, Jordan Sheehan, Fred Berger, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Justin Levy, and Russell Fine.
