Netflix, Hoichoi To Develop Original Series
The collaboration will also include original projects produced by Hoichoi Studios. Netflix and the Bengali streaming platform will work together on adaptations that reimagine selected stories from its catalogue through fresh creative approaches.
These projects will offer new interpretations of existing material rather than simply bringing the original shows to another service. Further information about the productions will be announced later.
Netflix Expands Regional Content Library

The streaming service said its global audience of approaching one billion people makes it a strong partner for studios, networks and creators seeking to take their work beyond existing markets.
For hoichoi, the deal creates an opportunity to introduce its Bengali content to viewers outside its core audience while developing fresh adaptations through hoichoi Studios.
The collaboration brings together established titles, multilingual premieres and new productions, covering genres such as mystery, crime, horror, social drama and romance. It gives viewers across different parts of India more opportunities to discover Bengali content through Netflix.
