Netflix and Bengali streaming platform hoichoi have announced a new partnership aimed at bringing Bengali entertainment to a wider audience across India. The collaboration will introduce 14 hoichoi titles to Netflix, combining selected existing series with upcoming releases and making content available in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
The partnership will run over the next two years, with hoichoi’s upcoming shows scheduled to stream exclusively on Netflix in the announced languages. The move is expected to introduce more viewers to Bengali crime thrillers, detective mysteries, horror stories, courtroom dramas and relationship-driven narratives without requiring them to watch exclusively in Bengali.
The first title in the rollout is The Cursed Temple of Kauriburi, a folklore-based horror series starring Jeetu Kamal, Solanki Roy and Paoli Dam. The show is scheduled to premiere on November 6, with additional titles expected to arrive in the months ahead.
Netflix and Hoichoi Join Hands to Expand Bengali Content
The Netflix–hoichoi partnership brings regional storytelling to a broader multilingual streaming audience. By offering selected Bengali series in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, the collaboration aims to help stories that have found audiences in Bengal connect with viewers in other parts of the country.
For Netflix, the arrangement adds to its selection of Indian regional entertainment. For hoichoi, it creates an opportunity to extend the reach of its Bengali catalogue beyond its established audience and introduce its shows to viewers who may be discovering these stories for the first time.
The partnership will include both selected titles already available through hoichoi and upcoming shows planned over the next two years. However, individual release dates and language availability may vary by title, so viewers should check Netflix for specific listings as they are announced.

The collection brings together detective stories, crime-led narratives, social dramas, romance and other forms of regional entertainment. The mix is designed to appeal to viewers with different preferences while giving Bengali productions a larger platform across languages.
The announced list also highlights the range of stories associated with hoichoi, from established characters and returning franchises to contemporary dramas and new adaptations.
The Cursed Temple of Kauriburi to Premiere on November 6
The Cursed Temple of Kauriburi will lead the partnership’s rollout, with its premiere scheduled for November 6. The folklore horror series stars Jeetu Kamal, Solanki Roy and Paoli Dam.
Folklore-based horror draws on local legends, cultural beliefs and supernatural mysteries to create stories rooted in a particular region. Bringing this type of series to a multilingual platform could introduce viewers outside Bengal to storytelling traditions and settings that are less familiar to them.
The November 6 premiere is the first announced release in the partnership. More details about the remaining titles, including their individual launch dates and language options, are expected as the rollout progresses.
Viewers interested in the series should check its Netflix listing for the latest information about availability and supported audio or subtitle options.
New Hoichoi Studios Originals Also in Development
Beyond distributing selected existing and upcoming shows, Netflix and hoichoi will collaborate on original projects produced by Hoichoi Studios.
These projects are expected to reimagine selected stories from hoichoi’s catalogue, giving familiar material new adaptations and creative interpretations. The announcement signals that the partnership is not limited to making existing Bengali shows available in additional languages.
Further details about these original productions, including their titles, casts, storylines and release schedules, have not yet been announced.
The projects could provide another route for Bengali stories to reach audiences across India. Their eventual reception will depend on the individual productions, the quality of their adaptations and how effectively they connect with viewers in different languages.
What the Netflix–Hoichoi Partnership Means for Indian OTT Viewers
The collaboration reflects the growing opportunity for regional Indian entertainment to reach audiences beyond its original language market. A Bengali series can have a wider potential audience when viewers can access it in languages they understand, while its original cultural setting and storytelling identity remain central to the experience.
For viewers, the partnership offers a new way to discover Bengali titles across genres, including crime, mystery, horror, social drama and romance. The mix of existing productions and upcoming releases also gives the collaboration room to introduce established favourites alongside new stories.
The announcement does not mean all 14 titles will premiere together. The rollout is expected to take place over time, beginning with The Cursed Temple of Kauriburi on November 6.
Jay-Ho! Spotlight: Netflix and hoichoi are bringing 14 Bengali titles to a wider multilingual audience through a partnership spanning the next two years. With The Cursed Temple of Kauriburi scheduled to launch first, the collaboration puts regional storytelling at the centre of a new streaming expansion.
