“There’s no such thing as an unbeatable vault…” That’s the sound of Giancarlo Esposito heading to Netflix for the new year in head-spinning new heist thriller Kaleidoscope.

Loosely inspired by the real-life story where seventy billion dollars in bonds went missing in downtown Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy, Kaleidoscope comprises eight episodes spanning from 24 years before the heist to 6 months after. Created by Eric Garcia, the series follow a crew of masterful thieves and their attempt to crack a seemingly unbreakable vault for the biggest payday in history. Guarded by the world’s most powerful corporate security team, and with law enforcement on the case, every episode reveals a piece of an elaborate puzzle of corruption, greed, vengeance, scheming, loyalties and betrayals. How did the crew of thieves plan it? Who gets away with it? Who can be trusted?

All viewers will eventually see all episodes, but the order in which they watch the episodes will affect their viewpoint on the story, the characters, and the questions and answers at the heart of the heist. Some members may start with “Yellow or “Green”, then “Blue” or “Violet” or “Orange,” followed by “Red” or “Pink”, until the epic “White: The Heist” story finale.

Joining Esposito for the ride will be Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell, Tati Gabrielle, Peter Mark Kendall, Rosaline Elbay, Jai Courtney, Niousha Noor, Jordan Mendoza, Soojeong Son and Hemky Madera.

You can see them in action on 1st January, when all episodes land on Netflix.
