Imtiaz Ali’s divorcing-couple romance O Saathi Re premieres on Netflix on 4 December 2026, and only there.
Netflix announced the series in February 2025, when production was due to start that month. Asianet Newsable (ANI), carrying the press release, says the wait ends in early December. Netflix India also posted about the series on 11 November. No episode count, runtime or release pattern has been given yet.
Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary, and Arjun Rampal lead the cast. Netflix’s 2025 announcement said Hydari returns after Heeramandi, Tiwary follows up Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, and Rampal’s next big move comes after Rana Naidu Season 2.
Ali created and wrote the series and is its showrunner. His brother Arif Ali directs, having previously directed the Netflix series She. Amogh Kanaskar and Nidhi Sethia also share writing credits.
Window Seat Films and Reliance Entertainment produce, with Ali, Mohit Choudhary, and Shibasish Sarkar as producers.
Ali’s films include Jab We Met, Rockstar, Tamasha, and Love Aaj Kal. On Netflix, he has already worked on Amar Singh Chamkila, and the 2025 announcement framed O Saathi Re as a reunion after that film’s success.
The story follows a couple who are divorcing. Ali describes it as “a modern romantic show with a vintage heart”, and says it’s the story of the growth of affection in a divorcing couple. The press release adds that it explores identity, personal desires, power dynamics, and the balance between understanding and letting go.
The characters are multi-layered and lifelike, which is why we went for the highest grade of actors.

Netflix India’s series head, Tanya Bami, says romance is “such a loved genre and yet so underserved in the series format”. She called O Saathi Re the platform’s next offering in the genre after Musafir Cafe, which Netflix renewed for a second season in August.
