On January 13, 2023, the series made its online streaming debut on the powerhouse Netflix. Trial By Fire, based on the 1997 tragedy in which a fire destroyed the Uphaar Cinema in Delhi, was motivated by the best-selling book Trial by Fire: The Tragic Tale of the Uphaar Fire Tragedy by Neelam Krishnamoorthy and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy. Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, a couple who lost their two children in the tragedy and engaged in a protracted court battle for justice, are the characters played by Deol and Despande.
