Single Papa OTT release date: Here's when and where you can stream Kunal Kemmu's feel-good comedy series

Single Papa is a new family comedy series that will premiere on Netflix. The show will take a funny and touching look at the mayhem that is modern Indian parenthood. Kunal Kemmu stars as Gaurav Gehlot, aka 'GG', a guy dealing with the life-altering transition to single parenthood. On December 12, 2025, viewers will be able to see the series debut on Netflix.

Protagonist and central conflict

The protagonist of Single Papa is Gaurav Gehlot, a "man-child" whose emotional development is far from complete after his recent divorce. His hasty decision to adopt a child immediately after his divorce surprises and amuses his conventional, busy Indian family. At its heart, the conflict centres around the fact that GG—a guy who perpetually misplaces his own socks—cannot possibly be responsible for the upbringing of a whole human being.

As the Gehlots try to make sense of what has happened and understand how their beloved but severely bewildered family member intends to take on the enormous responsibility of becoming a parent, the official description emphasises the "unprecedented kalesh" (chaos) that ensued. With its focus on the Great Indian Family's unique drama and its celebration of universal themes like love and laughter, the series markets itself as an approachable, feel-good family show.

Kunal Kemmu on lead role

Kemmu, who plays the lead role in GG, says that the experience of playing the character "made me laugh and cry" and that the series highlights the "messy, colourful chaos that makes a family special." He elaborates by saying the narrative shows how parenting is frequently "trial and error and a whole lot of love."

Among the many outstanding actors who bring the lively Gehlot family to life on the show are Prajakta Koli, Ayesha Raza, and Manoj Pahwa. The poster's orange tint and depiction of the cast's comic frustration surrounding the baby aptly convey the show's tone of endearing chaos.

Creative team

Executive producer and showrunner for Single Papa is Shashank Khaitan, who has found success in the romantic comedy genre. This is his return to a format that is light, pleasant, and family-friendly. Ishita Moitra and Neeraj Udhwani are the show's creators and co-producers; Udhwani also serves as co-director with Hitesh Kewalya.

Khaitan said of the show, "Single Papa is pure fun and all heart." He was clearly enthusiastic about the concept. "Dive into the crazy, charming little world we’ve cooked up — complete with an unexpected dad, a whole lot of chaos, and an adorable baby, also the star of the show, who will steal every heart!" he exclaimed, praising the cast for their dedication to embodying their characters.

Defining family beyond blood

The show stresses that family is defined by love, laughter, and support, not blood, no matter how odd the structure.

Single Papa will feature an assortment of friendly banter and biting humour on Netflix on December 12, 2025.
