Move over, run-of-the-mill dramas—Case No. 9 is here to shake things up, and it’s got the star power to prove it! Shahzeb Khanzada, the ace journalist known for hosting Geo’s flagship Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath, trades his anchor’s desk for a writer’s chair, diving headfirst into the world of drama. With Saba Qamar, Junaid Khan, Faysal Quraishi, and Aamina Sheikh (yes, she’s back!) front and center, this series promises more fireworks than a New Year’s Eve in Karachi. Directed by Syed Wajahat Hussain, Case No. 9 has all the makings of a ratings juggernaut.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Sure, there’s the mystery-centric plot of murder, corruption, and buried secrets, but will it deliver edge-of-your-seat thrills or just serve reheated TV tropes? Knowing Shahzeb Khanzada’s journalistic flair, we’re banking on layered storytelling that dives deeper than your average tea-time drama. If nothing else, seeing Aamina Sheikh share the screen with Saba Qamar again feels like the reunion tour we didn’t know we needed. Here’s hoping Case No. 9 doesn’t just open files—it opens minds.Case No. 9 will air on Geo TV, so keep an eye out.
