Production Type: Crime Thriller Miniseries

Ragdoll is a standalone Crime Thriller Miniseries designed as a finite narrative. The six-part drama tracks detectives investigating a gruesome discovery: six victims dismembered and stitched together into a singular grotesque body. As the killer taunts law enforcement with a target list, the investigation tests the psychological limits of the squad.

The miniseries delivers a complete, contained story arc that faithfully brings Daniel Cole's novel to its conclusion. With the case solved and the narrative fully wrapped, the series remains an intentional single-season event.
