‘Warrant’ on ZEE5: High-stakes extension of hit crime thriller series ‘Vilangu’ begins streaming

Digital audiences have a massive premium addition to their weekend watchlist as ‘Warrant’, the highly anticipated spiritual and narrative extension of the landmark Tamil crime thriller series Vilangu, has officially made its digital debut.

The investigative thriller series kickstarted its exclusive streaming run on ZEE5 yesterday, Friday, May 22, 2026, rolling out to an immediately explosive reception from digital viewers and television critics alike.

Directed once again by master craftsman Prasanth Pandiyaraj, the extension series brings back Vimal as the grounded, sharp-witted police sub-inspector Paridhi.

Moving away from the localized setting of the original installment, Warrant expands the narrative scope as Paridhi is drawn into a complex, cross-district murder mystery involving a web of high-profile financial forgeries and a deeply elusive antagonist.

Backed by a highly atmospheric background score from Ajesh and claustrophobic cinematography, the gritty procedural is being lauded for maintaining the signature suspenseful pacing and shocking plot twists that made Vilangu a sleeper hit.
