Fresh from the bigger and bolder reveal of the main cast at the Next on Netflix Thailand event, Netflix is now unveiling the first look stills of The Believers. Debuting on March 27, the series promises to take viewers on a unique business journey where faith has a price tag.

The Believers tells the tale of a group of young and ambitious entrepreneurs who, after a streak of failed startups, stumble upon an unorthodox "business opportunity" that could help them pay off substantial debt by capitalizing on peoples religious convictions.

The trio includes Win (James Teeradon Supapunpinyo), a young computer engineer dropout who leads the team in marketing planning; his best friend, Dear (Ally Achiraya Nitibhon), a graphic designer who also oversees PR; and Game (Peach Pachara Chirathivat), an adventurous teenager who brings funding to the table. Together, they rebrand the lone Phummaram Temple, transforming it into a lucrative source of income. The series also features memorable characters like Monk Dol (Pup Patchai Pakdeesusuk), Tang (Tik Channarong Khantheethao) and Monk Ekachai (Petch Paophet Charoensook).

Wattanapong Wongwan, one of Thailand's up-and-coming directors, took his inspiration for the series from his childhood. Born and raised in a Buddhist family, he visited temples on special occasions and learnt about the religion in school. Over time, as society evolved and his perspectives shifted, he began to question conventional beliefs, which prompted him to start drafting this series five years ago.

At the beginning, the religion felt familiar to me, but through extensive research, I uncovered deeper insights that I had previously imagined, he says. As I developed the script, I observed society becoming more open-minded, with the very questions that intrigued me now emerging in contemporary discourse. Therefore, I believe the time has come to delve into the questions that have piqued my curiosity since childhood.

Watch how faith turns into fortune on The Believers, premiering March 27, exclusively on Netflix.
