The 2026 slate includes a variety of new scripted projects spanning multiple genres. Socio-political thriller Sankalp features a cast led by Nana Patekar, Sanjay Kapoor, Neeraj Kabi and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub.
Other upcoming titles include the revenge-driven thriller Ab Hoga Hisaab, starring Shaheer Sheikh, Mouni Roy and Sanjay Kapoor.
Administrative drama The Bureaucrat will feature Amol Parashar, while action series Kaptaan stars Saqib Saleem.
Further additions to the line-up include survival thriller Vimal Khanna, starring Sunny Hinduja; cop drama Waiting Hai with Divyenndu Sharma and Bhuvan Arora; and crime drama Clean Up Crew, featuring Ravi Kishan, Amey Wagh and Vishal Jethwa.
Returning favourites and reality formats
The platform will also bring back several established series. These include Raktanchal for a third season and youth-focused titles such as Campus Beats season six, along with new instalments of Campus Diaries, Heartbeats and Who’s Your Gynac.
In the unscripted category, reality show Rise & Fall will return for a second season after its successful debut last year. Fitness competition Battleground is also set to come back with a second instalment.
Expanding formats and international titles
Alongside traditional series, the service is developing new formats aimed at expanding its audience base. One of these is MX Fatafat, a vertical focused on short-form micro-dramas.
Another strand, MX Vdesi, will introduce international programming, including series from Korea, China and Turkey, as well as anime titles available in both Japanese and Hindi.
According to Karan Bedi, head of Amazon MX Player, the platform has been gaining momentum as more viewers turn to free streaming options. He said the expanding content slate positions the service to attract audiences moving away from traditional television.
Amogh Dusad, head of content at the platform, added that the aim is to build a broad storytelling ecosystem that reflects diverse voices and experiences across India while keeping premium entertainment accessible without subscription fees.
