Netflix India has officially announced the release date of its upcoming family comedy series Chumbak, unveiling a delightful new promo that introduces viewers to the vibrant residents of Chumbak Colony Society. Sharing the announcement on social media, Netflix wrote, "Chumbak Colony Society Notice! Time to meet the neighbors is coming up. Watch Chumbak, out 28 August, only on Netflix." With its heartwarming premise and stellar ensemble cast, the series promises to celebrate the joy, chaos, and emotional bonds that make neighbours feel like family.
The newly released promo takes a creative approach by using a colourful fridge magnet board to introduce the society's five primary families. Staying true to the title "Chumbak"—which means magnet in Hindi—the video cleverly symbolizes how people from different backgrounds are naturally drawn toward one another through friendship, laughter, and shared experiences. Set in a bustling Mumbai neighbourhood, the series explores everyday life through relatable situations, festive celebrations, humorous misunderstandings, and heartfelt emotional moments.
Created by the celebrated duo Aatish Kapadia and JD Majethia, the creative minds behind iconic Indian sitcoms Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and Khichdi, Chumbak brings together an impressive ensemble cast. The five featured families include The Merchants, played by Neena Gupta and Deven Bhojani; The Khannas, featuring Manasi Parekh and Sumeet Vyas; The Oberois, portrayed by Arjun Bijlani and Helly Shah; The Kejriwals, starring Sandeepa Dhar and Sumeet Raghavan; and the quirky Taraporewalas, played by Anant V. Joshi, Amyra Dastur, and Delnaaz Irani. The series also features Atul Kumar in a key role.
Blending comedy, drama, and slice-of-life storytelling, Chumbak explores the beautiful chaos of urban community living. At its heart is the idea that neighbours often become a family's strongest support system, standing together through life's celebrations, parenting challenges, friendships, and unexpected twists. By focusing on multiple generations and diverse personalities, the show aims to deliver a relatable and feel-good viewing experience that resonates with audiences of all ages.
The announcement has already generated considerable excitement, particularly because it marks the return of Aatish Kapadia and JD Majethia to the family comedy genre that made them household names. Fans of their previous work are eagerly anticipating another series filled with witty humour, memorable characters, and emotionally rich storytelling. With a talented ensemble cast and a refreshing neighbourhood setting, Chumbak is shaping up to be one of Netflix India's most anticipated original series of the year.
Chumbak will premiere exclusively on Netflix on August 28, 2026. As the countdown begins, viewers can look forward to stepping inside Chumbak Colony Society—a place where five families, countless stories, and everyday moments come together to prove that sometimes the people living next door become the family you choose.
