Taking to Twitter, he confirmed the big news revealing that he has recently signed a deal for one of his bestselling novels.

Omar Shahid also mentioned that if they don’t get Netflix approval, the series will then be aired on HUM TV.

Here’s what he wrote:

‘The Party Worker’ takes us to the streets of Karachi exploring the other face of politics of Pakistan. Having served the Karachi Police for more than a decade now, Omar Shahid takes us to the shady places in the metropolis city of Karachi where crimes and corruption are common.

And as it’s synopsis reads,

When a Jewish woman is killed on the steps of the Natural History Museum in New York, disparate lives are thrown together for one purpose: to bring about the downfall of the Don, the uncrowned king of Karachi.
