A grand event, all of five hours (!!!!!) long, was held by Netflix India at Mumbai’s J.W. Marriott Hotel, to not just announce their ambitious slate for 2026 but also mark their 10 years in India. It was hosted by Jamie Lever and Aparshakti Khurana. 

Said Monika Shergill, Vice-President, Content, Netflix India, “Ten years of Netflix in India isn’t a milestone we mark alone. It’s a story we’ve written together with creators who took bold risks, actors and technicians who brought those visions to life, partners who built with passion, teams who kept raising the bar, and above all, audiences who welcomed these stories with curiosity and openness.”

Shergill added, “A decade of streaming has reinforced a simple truth: there is no single way to tell Indian stories, and no single audience to serve. India is one nation, made up of many India’s. Our work begins and continues with embracing all of them.”

Teasers of most series were shown and actors introduced with a lot of fun, repartee and banter. Improving upon their 2025 fare, with Taskaree in 2026 having reached the Global Top 10 charts and The Great Indian Kapil Show having a record viewership, the platform let the media into their forthcoming template.
