## Key points

- Interest in Indian streaming series rose about 17-fold in a decade.
- “Mirzapur” made the top 10 list nine times.
- New commissions fell to 145 in 2025.

## Summary

Viewer interest in Indian streaming series has grown roughly 17-fold over the past decade, but the number of new shows and seasons commissioned has fallen for two consecutive years. An IMDb study charting the most popular titles from 2016 to 2026 suggests the market is maturing: audiences have broadened their tastes while streaming companies have become more selective about production.

“Mirzapur” appeared in the annual top 10 every year since its launch, making nine appearances, while “Scam 1992” charted five times with one season. Crime and thrillers accounted for 48 of 110 rankings, though other genres gained ground later in the period. Commissions fell from 202 in 2023 to 169 in 2024 and 145 in 2025; Hindi-language shows made up 66% of Indian streaming originals that year.
