Mrs. Deshpande is a 2025 crime thriller web series that follows an imprisoned serial killer who is drawn back into a chilling investigation when a copycat murderer begins replicating her past crimes.

When a Bollywood celebrity is murdered using a method identical to her old signature, the police are forced to reopen a closed chapter they hoped would stay buried.

As the investigation deepens, Seema is reluctantly brought in as a consultant, offering insights only she can provide into the mind of the new killer. Her involvement becomes increasingly complex when personal histories, buried secrets, and unresolved emotional wounds surface within the task force. What begins as a strategic alliance slowly turns into a dangerous psychological game, blurring the line between justice, manipulation, and revenge, while exposing how the past continues to shape the present.
