The duo previously created Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and Khichdi.
Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, said, “Chumbak is our latest offering within the comedy genre, a genre our members enjoy on Netflix. In our lives today, our neighbours turn into our clan and JD & Aatish have created a world to bring this community, its bonds, its oddities, and its dynamics to life. We hope the world of Chumbak and its magnetic characters will feel familiar and lived in as they undergo their life grappling with themes like contemporary marriages, modern-day parenting, ageing friends and life as a community. The flavour and comedic sort of JD & Aatish’s work at all times brings the family together since it feels immediately familiar, deeply entertaining and filled with heart. Their ability to search out humour within the extraordinary without ever losing the emotional core is what makes their storytelling so special. As we proceed to construct a slate that spans genres and formats, we’re excited to bring a comedy like Chumbak to audiences in India and all over the world.”
Producer and Showrunner JD Majethia and Author, Director, and Co-Producer Aatish Kapadia said, “With Chumbak, we desired to rejoice something we have all experienced but perhaps don’t appreciate enough anymore, the gorgeous chaos of nostalgic neighbourhoods where nobody needs an invite to drop by, and neighbours slowly turn into family. Comedy has at all times been our way of telling stories about people and relationships, and with Netflix, we found the proper partner to bring our signature sort of family comedy to audiences across the country and all over the world. Chumbak is the type of show that may bring families together, creating moments of shared laughter across generations, and that is what makes this collaboration with Netflix so special. We hope viewers laugh with these characters, enjoy their chaos, and leave with a smile after every episode.”
Chumbak premieres on Netflix on August 28, 2026.
