A Japanese investigator teams up with a British detective to search and find his estranged yakuza-connected brother who is now wanted for murder and hiding out in London.

Hailing from the producers of HBO's acclaimed miniseries "Chernobyl" and created and written by Joe Barton (The Ritual, My Days of Mercy), the eight-episode drama had previously aired in the U.K. back in October but will premiere in the States next month on Netflix.

Emmy-nominated English helmer Julian Farino (Entourage, Ballers) directed the first four episodes, while the last four episodes of the series are directed by Australian helmer Ben Chessell (Sucker).

Co-starring Justin Long, Sophia Brown, and Masahiro Motoki, "Giri / Haji" will start streaming on Netflix on January 10th.
