Under the partnership, Ektaa R Kapoor will lead the creative vision and retain ownership of the intellectual property, while YouTube will provide global distribution and monetization opportunities through advertising and brand partnerships. The slate will include a mix of returning titles and new stories. Among the projects announced are Haq Se Season 2, Phir Pyar Ki Yeh Kahani Suno and Kehne Ko Humsafar Hai Season 4, along with other projects that are currently under development.

For me, storytelling has always been about creating emotional connections that stay with audiences long after the screen goes dark. As more and more viewers turn to YouTube to discover and engage with content, it presents an exciting opportunity to connect with audiences in the most innovative ways. Through this partnership with YouTube India, we're opening a new chapter to share stories that entertain, inspire, and truly move people across the globe. Gunjan Soni, Managing Director - India, YouTube, said, The future of TV has to be designed around a digital-first audience that wants the best of both worlds: high-quality shows on the biggest screen in the home, with the flexibility of on-demand. With Ekta Kapoor and her extraordinary instinct for human emotion and creative storytelling, were making that future possible today on YouTube. Im excited about this partnership and how YouTube continues to unlock distribution and monetization pathways for innovative storytellers to connect with audiences on their own terms. The upcoming shows are expected to roll out during the festive season. Viewers can also follow the @TheIndianKDrramas channel for trailers, behind-the-scenes content and premiere updates related to the slate.
