    AXN to premiere Graham Yost’s ‘Justified’

    MUMBAI: “It is in the nature of human beings to seek justification for their actions” Some may agree but Raylan Givens doesn’t. AXN is all set to premiere Justified from 30 January, every Monday to Friday at 11 pm.

    Justified premieres in India following a successful six season run in the West. Touted as one of the most intriguing shows on television, Justified commands huge critical acclaim and social media fandom. It was nominated for eight Primetime Emmy Awards including two wins for Margo Martindale’s and Jeremy Davies’ performance.

    Creator of the show Graham Yost said, “India, which is the largest democracy on earth is finally watching the show, and I hope that it still feels as fresh to the Indian audience as it felt to the American audience. We always hoped that the show, Justified, will be watched for a long time. Those who couldn’t see it the first time around could catch up with it now.”

    Based on Elmore Leonard’s novella Fire in the Hole, Justified stars Timothy Olyphantin as the lead character of Deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens, a lawman who finds himself drawn back to his home state of Kentucky which he had escaped for good in his youth.

  • AXN India to take viewers on twisted criminal ride with all seasons of ‘Dexter’

    AXN India to take viewers on twisted criminal ride with all seasons of ‘Dexter’

    MUMBAI: A forensic technician by day and a serial killer by night. He analyses blood splash pattern during the day and hunts down criminals who go unnoticed by justice system at night. He is Dexter you will love in the day and Dexter you will fear at night.

    AXN India is all set to celebrate 10 years of Dexter by airing all seasons of this psychological thriller starting 26 December every Monday to Friday at 9 pm.

    Dexter was nominated 4 consecutive times for ‘Outstanding Drama Series’ at Primetime Emmy Awards as well as for ‘Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series’ 5 times in a row. It has also won 2 Golden Globe Awards out of 9 nominations, making it one of the most acclaimed and followed series of all times.

    Michael C. Hall, who plays the protagonist Dexter Morgan in the show, shot to fame as the most loved serial killer globally. He said, “These 10 years have been amazing! In the first season it was so awkward and intense. We were doing something that hadn’t quite been done and by then people didn’t root for a serial killer. Playing the part, I appreciated how much fans were in Dexter’s corner. It’s a real trick because the story is subjectively told and you are always in his head. You are sort of a silent accomplice.”
