‘Barzakh’ release date revealed

Series stars Fawad Khan, Sanam Saeed

For those eagerly awaiting Barzakh, the suspense is finally over. The makers of the hotly anticipated Pakistani web series, starring Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed, have announced its premiere on Zee Zindagi’s YouTube channel and ZEE5 on July 19, as reported by Variety.

Penned and helmed by Asim Abbasi, the mastermind behind Zee Zindagi’s hits Churails and Cake (Pakistan’s 2018 Oscar submission), Barzakh promises viewers a riveting experience. To keep the audience on the edge of their seats, Zee Zindagi recently unveiled six eye-catching artistic posters.

“When all has withered…will love endure? Barzakh Premieres 19^th July on Zindagi’s YouTube and Zee 5 Shows,” the channel captioned the poster on its official X handle. Sanam also shared the posters on Instagram with the same tagline.

Barzakh had its grand debut at the prestigious Series Mania Festival in France in 2023. This project not only marks Abbasi’s second collaboration with the channel but also reunites Sanam and Fawad for the first time since their hit series Zindagi Gulzar Hai ended in 2013.

Set against the stunning Hunza Valley, Barzakh tells the poignant tale of a 76-year-old recluse who summons his estranged children and grandchildren to his remote valley resort for an extraordinary event — his wedding to the ghost of his first true love. This deeply emotional narrative invites viewers to contemplate the mysteries of life, the afterlife, and the enduring power of love.

Alongside Fawad and Sanam, the six-episode series boasts a talented ensemble cast including Salman Shahid, Eman Suleman, Khushhal Khan, Faiza Gillani, Anika Zulfikar, and Franco Giusti.
