In the first novel, the story begins with the corpses of a father, mother, and son carefully staged at a dinner table, served with a single traditional Chinese New Year dish, yee sang.

"I am delighted we have the opportunity to bring Inspector Mislan to the television audience. We intend to partner a Malaysian writer/filmmaker with a British one in order to make high-quality, authentic content that works for both local and global audiences," Michael Nakan stated.

As of now, there are no announcements on its actual release date, production schedule, and casts.
