As Tamil cinema continues to expand its scale and storytelling ambition, Netflix India unveils its upcoming Tamil slate for 2026 with a powerhouse lineup that brings together marquee stars, distinctive filmmakers, and stories from the state and beyond

Building on a landmark 2025 for Netflix’s South slate, where titles featuring mass entertainers and critically acclaimed films resonated widely with audiences. From crowd pleasers featuring fan-favourite stars such as Idli Kadai, Dragon,Dude, and Good Bad Ugly, to critically acclaimed gems such as Bison and Kaantha, 2025 cemented Netflix as a home for diverse storytelling.

The 2026 Tamil lineup continues this momentum with films that release in cinemas first, followed by an exclusive Netflix premiere after their theatrical run. Rooted in local culture yet designed to travel across borders, the slate kicks off with the festive spirit of Pongal, setting the tone for a year packed with cinematic moments and fan-favourites.

From Dhanush in a gripping new collaboration with Vignesh Raja in Kara, to Suriya anchoring two distinct 2026 releases – Suriya 46 directed by Venky Atluri, and Suriya 47 helmed by Jithu Madhavan. From Karthi and Kalyani headlining a high-impact action-drama Marshal, to Ravi Mohan stepping into a new creative chapter with his directorial debut An Ordinary Man starring Yogi Babu,and also leading and producing Production No. 1 alongside S.J. Suryah, the slate blends action, drama, crime, and humour.

With stories that thrill, move, and entertain, Tamil cinema’s best in 2026 is set to reach audiences worldwide post their theatrical run only on Netflix.

Monika Shergill, Vice President, Content, Netflix India, shares, “Tamil cinema has a passionate fanbase, driven by original ideas, strong craft, and deep emotional connection. We’ve seen Tamil films travel widely on Netflix – watched, discussed, and embraced in India and around the world. This is the fourth year we’re announcing our Tamil licensed film slate around Pongal, and it’s been encouraging to see audiences respond to content-led films across genres, with growing openness to stories that move beyond traditional formats. Films like Idlikadhai, Dude, Dragon and Bison reflect this range. As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue partnering with filmmakers to back bold, well-crafted stories across genres and voices.”
