Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Tops Netflix Global Charts

Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed that the Aditya Dhar directorial film, Dhurandhar, has emerged as the most-watched non-English film globally on the platform for 2026. Starring Ranveer Singh, the high-octane production has significantly bolstered the streaming giant's footprint in the Indian market. The success of this title underscores a growing trend where localized Indian narratives are finding massive resonance with international audiences. Sarandos highlighted that the platform is actively seeking to further expand the global reach of Indian cinema through strategic investments and talent partnerships.

The platform also unveiled an extensive comedy series slate spanning through 2026 and 2027, featuring both returning hits and ambitious new projects. Established favorites like Wednesday and Emily in Paris are confirmed for new seasons, alongside fresh titles such as Scooby-Doo: Origins and a sequel to the classic series A Different World. These additions cover a wide range of genres, including adult animation, workplace comedies, and teenage dramas. The strategy focuses on maintaining high subscriber engagement by blending proven intellectual properties with innovative new storytelling from diverse creative teams across the world.

In a move to diversify its drama offerings, Netflix is developing a new scripted series based on the New York Yankees. The production will delve into the storied history of the baseball franchise, covering multiple eras and legendary figures associated with the team. This project stems from an expanding partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), following a multi-year streaming agreement finalized in late 2025. Developed by MLB Studios and Jason Bateman's Aggregate Films, the series represents a major push into sports-adjacent scripted content, aiming to capture both sports fans and drama enthusiasts globally.
