Acclaimed British-Pakistani director Asim Abbasi has unveiled the poster of his upcoming British Muslim comedy series, “Count Abdulla,” set to air on ITVX.
“Count Abdulla” is a six-part horror comedy that revolves around the life of Abdulla Khan (played by Arian Nik), a Muslim doctor in his mid-20s grappling with an identity crisis. Caught between the contrasting values of his religiously devout mother and his secular, pleasure-seeking friends, Abdulla’s life takes a hilarious turn when he is bitten by a vampire played by Jaime Winstone, leading them on a comical adventure.
Taking to his Instagram, Abbasi shared a poster of the film with the caption, “Human Juice. 100% Certified Halal. 15th June. Only on @itvxofficial”
