In 2026, hoichoi is set to unveil 12 web shows, striking a balance between six brand-new originals and six franchises that audiences already love. From spine-chilling thrillers and socially charged dramas to folklore-inspired tales and sharp investigative narratives, this year’s line-up promises scale, variety, and depth. “Reimagining Bengali content every year has been at the heart of what we do at hoichoi. Our new slate marks the start of the year with fresh stories, familiar franchises, and book adaptations that audiences have a strong emotional connection with. This is only the first phase of what we have planned. More content announcements will follow as we keep listening closely to our viewers and creating Bengali stories that connect just as strongly at home as they do globally,” said Soumya Mukherjee, COO, hoichoi.
