What happens
Rashash (Arabic: رشاش) is an eight-part Saudi Arabian drama series written by Tony Jordan, Sheikha Suha Al Khalifa and Richard Bellamy and directed by Colin Teague. The series follows the true-life story of Rashash Al-Otaibi, a Saudi bandit, drug trafficker and murderer who terrorized the local population in the 1970s and 1980s. The multi-million dollar crime-thriller production was shot partly in Saudi Arabia and partly in Abu Dhabi and features an all-Saudi cast in the lead roles. The script tapped exclusive material Saudi state archives on the real Rashash's "long-running criminal investigation from the late 1980s.” It was streamed on Shahid VIP with one episode per week of about an hour, starting from July 9, 2021.
