Prepare for a nail-biting moment for this winter as Japanese crime thriller Gannibal is streaming only on Disney+ Hotstar.
The crime thriller series was recently screened at the Tokyo International Film Festival, which set in the fictional Japanese village of Kuge Village and sees newly hired police officer Daigo Agawa arrive a broken man.
