Netflix Slate Announcement 2025: From The Royals To The Ba***ds Of Bollywood, Films And Shows We’re Excited About!
From rom-coms to gritty thrillers, Netflix has a range of shows in store for us and here are some that we are looking forward to in 2025.
The grand unveiling of all the big shows and films dropping on Netflix in 2025 took place on February 3, and I was just thrilled to witness that in person. As someone who loves to watch thrilling, nail-biting stories but also cute rom-coms, and everything in between, the experience of this showcase was nothing less than what a kid feels in a Disneyland. The insane range that Netflix has in store for us has already got me excited. The feeling is similar to that of a mother who has to pick her favourite child among all, and it’s quite difficult. But just for the record, while I am looking forward to all the shows and films coming next on Netflix, here are some of my favourites!
1. Akka
Let’s talk about the brilliant cast, first. Shall we? Akka stars Keerthy Suresh, Radhika Apte, and Tanvi Azmi in pivotal roles. The web series is written and directed by Dharmaraj Shetty, and the first look has blown me away. All the stars look powerful, promising, intriguing and raw in their characters. Akka is a period drama cum thriller that promises all the elements of a gritty, nail-biting show that will keep us hooked!
2. Aap Jaisa Koi
I have been longing to watch a mature, well-cooked, meaningful romance on-screen and looks like my dream will soon come true. Leading the film Aap Jaisa Koi, R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh have left me in awe of their on-screen chemistry and it was like love at first sight with the film’s teaser. Set in Kolkata, West Bengal and directed by Vivek Soni, this love story looked so charming and heartwarming that I cannot wait to watch it on Netflix.
3. The Ba***ds Of Bollywood (The Bads Of Bollywood)
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan was present to announce the title of his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut. While SRK did not reveal much about the web show, he has assured fans that the series will be bigger, sassier and funnier than ever before. The characters of the show are quirky and unique and this suspense is already killing me! Bring on the show fast!

4. The Royals
Zeenat Aman is making her grand comeback to our screens with the Netflix show The Royals. The web show stars Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi Pednekar and Sakshi Tanwar. The show looks visually grand and appealing, with a very promising story around the royals and families of the Maharaj. The characters and dialogues are fancy, sassy and well, there’s romance too. So all the elements combined, I am quite excited for this show!
5. Khakee: The Bengal Chapter
I absolutely enjoyed watching Khakhee: The Bihar Chapter and now Netflix has announced season 2 of this show. Who’s the happiest? Khakhee: The Bengal Chapter is yet again Neeraj Pandey’s creation and is directed by Debatma Mandal and Tushar Kanti Ray. It stars brilliant actors like Prosenjit Chatterjee, Parambrata Chatterjee, Chitrangada Singh, Pooja Chopra, Aakanksha Singh, Mimoh Chakraborty and Shraddha Das.
6. Kohhra Season 2
Barun Sobti led series was quite a hit in the first season and it’s returning with a second one, which looks even more fun. Mona Singh has joined the cast and for the first time, she will be playing an on-screen cop. The series is yet another intense and raw thriller that I cannot wait to watch.
The Netflix slate announcement featured a glimpse of many other shows and films like Naadaaniyan, Test, Dining With The Kapoor and Jewel Thief among others. Which one are you excited for?
