MUMBAI: OTT platform Netflix and Red Chillies Entertainment are coming together for an untitled Bollywood series in 2025. Produced by Gauri Khan, the series marks Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan’s debut as a creator and director. The news of this partnership and project was announced in Los Angeles this week at an event — hosted by Bela Bajaria, Chief Content Officer, Netflix — showcasing international titles coming to the service next year.
Set against the backdrop of the film industry, this multi-genre project is about an outsider navigating Bollywood. The series looks to blend a narrative with self-aware humour.
This upcoming Bollywood series will mark Netflix and Red Chillies Entertainment’s sixth outing together, following the dark comedy film ‘Darlings’, the crime-drama ‘Bhakshak’, the cop-drama film ‘Class of ’83’, the zombie horror series ‘Betaal’ and the spy thriller series ‘Bard of Blood’.
Shah Rukh Khan said, “We are excited to present this new series with Netflix that offers a refreshing look into the glamorous cinematic world and what it takes to succeed as an outsider. It’s a unique narrative brought to life by Aryan, many passionate minds and the team at Red Chillies Entertainment. This one’s going to be all heart, all hustle, and a whole lot of entertainment.”
Monika Shergill, VP content, Netflix India said, “We’re thrilled to partner with Red Chillies Entertainment once again — this time, for a very special series, directed by Aryan Khan. Aryan brings a bold and dynamic directorial vision, and has created something truly one-of-a-kind and thoroughly entertaining. It builds on our shared passion for fresh voices and quality storytelling, and we can’t wait for our members to watch it.”
