Following the worldwide success of recent South Indian titles, Netflix has announced six new original films and series in the Tamil and Telugu languages, further increasing its investment in South Indian storytelling. From quirky comedy to contemporary romance, the new slate has it all. There is something for every taste, ranging from family gangster dramas to serious psychological thrillers.

Tamil Originals

Stephen

Gomathi Shankar stars in Mithun's upcoming Tamil psychological thriller, which explores a terrifying professional evaluation. The film follows a psychiatrist who is assigned the disturbing responsibility of analysing a self-confessed killer. As the psychiatrist begins to explore the killer's mental realm, what starts as a mundane professional relationship swiftly turns into a perilous entanglement.

#Love

#Love is a Balaji Mohan-directed Tamil serial starring Arjun Das and Aishwarya Lekshmi with an innovative spin on contemporary romance. The modern argument about "chemistry versus compatibility" is whimsically explored in the show. The story captures the comedic and emotional intricacies of modern love by following two seemingly unrelated characters as they take on an unusual task that, unbeknownst to them, leads to a profound bond.

Made In Korea

Made In Korea is a touching cross-cultural drama that stars Priyanka Mohan and Park Hye-Jin (known for Squid Game) and was directed by Ra Karthik. Early in the film, a major betrayal destroys a young woman's ideal vacation to Korea. She finds hope and independence as she forms unexpected friendships and faces difficult life lessons while forced to live with her distress in an unfamiliar nation.

Madhavan, Nimisha Sajayan, Gautham Karthik, Gulshan Devaiah, and Abhishek Banerjee in a high-stakes ensemble scene.

To preserve the family's authority and ensure the dynasty's survival, each character must bravely face enormous dangers, putting their values at stake.

Telugu Originals

Super Subbu

Super Subbu is a Mallik Ram–helmed, Sandeep Kishan–starring oddball comedy of errors set in Telugu. The story follows a man whose life takes an unexpected turn when he is assigned the responsibility of educating the people of a distant community about sexual health. His hilarious and utter lack of qualification for this delicate duty sets the stage for a cascade of embarrassing circumstances and amusing mishaps that serve as the series' primary source of entertainment.

Takshakudu

Directed by Vinod Anantoju and featuring Anand Devarakonda, Takshakudu is a forthcoming Telugu folkloric thriller. Anger and resentment are the driving forces behind the film's plot. In this moving tale, we accompany a blind man and his faithful dog as they embark on a perilous journey to exact revenge for the deaths of their fellow villagers in a terrible tragedy.
