Netflix India had its Slate Unveil Event in Mumbai on Tuesday. The streaming brand announced several upcoming shows that caught the audience’s attention. Nevertheless, the Tamil series Legacy turned out to be a head-turner within the star-studded event.
The R. Madhavan-starrer is a gangster series that explores the story of an aging patriarch who tries to avoid wasting his legacy by fighting powerful external forces. Faced with a prophecy of downfall and an inevitable siege, Periyavar, the top of a gangster empire, fights back as faultlines show up in his once iron-clad kingdom.
Legacy Plot
The trailer of Legacy carries the caption, “There may be an empire, a throne, and every thing. But who has the merit to wear that crown?” Fire becomes a crucial theme within the series, representing power, which is rarely biased and yet all the time faithful to him who wields it.
The series’ trailer reveals that R. Madhavan’s character, Periyavar, is keen on protecting the 4 pillars of his gangster empire: a loyal gang, political weight, the religion of the people, and family. However, Abhishek Bannerjee’s character looks to dismantle all of those pillars, one after the other, to initiate a siege in Periyavar’s kingdom.
Legacy represents an ambitious chapter into the anatomy of power, succession, and the emotional weight of what’s left behind. Set inside a formidable crime world, the series examines how ambition, loyalty, and blood ties collide when the long run of an empire hangs within the balance.
Legacy is ready to be some of the necessary shows in Netflix’s 2026 slate. Directed by Charukesh Sekar and produced by Kalyan Subramanian, the gangster thriller will soon be available for streaming in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Legacy Solid & Crew
Produced by Stone Bench Studio, Legacy flaunts a robust ensemble solid. Other than R. Madhavan and Abhishek Banerjee in lead roles, the series features Nimisha Sajayan, Gautham Karthik, and Gulshan Devaiah.
