Netflix brings fans its biggest South Indian slate this year A new film from Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinema every week this year Mumbai, 19 August 2026: Netflix is doubling down on its commitment to South Indian storytelling, releasing an average of one new film every week across Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinema for the rest of the year. Building on the momentum of a record-breaking first half of 2026, we're continually expanding one of the industry's most diverse and exciting film slates, bringing together celebrated filmmakers, beloved stars, and stories across every genre and mood. For entertainment fans, that means there's always something new waiting to be discovered on Netflix. From big blockbusters to intimate and deeply felt stories, Netflix’s Indian film slate in the first half of 2026 made room for it all. Youth, With Love, Blast and Bharathanatyam 2: Mohiniyattam struck a chord with audiences, underscoring our commitment to stories that resonate deeply and travel widely. Recently, Made in Korea became the first South Indian title to take the No. 1 spot on our Global Non-English Films list. The film also reached the Top 10 in 54 countries, from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Venezuela, to Korea, Taiwan, and South Africa. Following this worldwide reception, lead actress Priyanka Mohan was appointed Honorary Ambassador for Korea Tourism, a sign of the Netflix Effect in action, where stories travel far beyond their origins and create meaningful cultural connections. The slate continues to bring fresh stories to audiences, with Pyaar Prema Kalyanam set to flip the script on love, marriage, and everything that comes after “I do” when it premieres on August 21. The rest of our line-up this year also features highly anticipated theatrical films, including the recently released Ramcharan’s Peddi alongside upcoming films like Dhanush’s OM – Chapter 1: Udhiram, Vijay Deverakonda's Ranabaali and Nani’s Paradise among several other exciting films. As Netflix’s South Indian catalogue grows, the platform is focused on going even deeper into culturally authentic stories with distinct local flavours that remain universally relatable. Netflix is expanding its offering of films and series in South Indian languages, focusing on variety and experimenting across formats, genres, themes, and creative voices. Alongside bringing theatrical blockbusters to our members, we are also expanding our Originals slate for the region. From films like Stephen and Takshakudu to series like The Game (Netflix’s first Tamil original series), Super Subbu (Netflix’s first Telugu original series), and Legacy, we are pairing major licensed films with fresh originals to serve our growing audience with more choice and more of the stories they love, making Netflix a go-to destination for entertainment.
