Amazon Prime Video made the announcement at an ongoing 2020 Television Critics Association press tour in California. The stronghold will be followed by a "multiple, interconnected vernacular series" in India, Italy and Mexico, the last of which surfaced on Tuesday. Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. of The Family Man As producers are working on an Indian spin-off with Amazon Studios, which will produce the Italian one with ITV studio 'Catalya'.
