Netflix's latest original series, 'Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web', has become the first Indian series to debut at the #1 spot on Netflix's Global Top 10 Non-English TV List in its very first week of release, as per the press release.

Created by Neeraj Pandey and co-directed by Raghav Jairath, Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web stars Emraan Hashmi, along with Zoya Afroz, Amruta Khanvilkar, Sharad Kelkar, Nandish Singh Sandhu, and Anurag Sinha. The show explores the high-stakes world of airport customs, highlighting the courage and dedication of officers working behind the scenes to protect the nation.

Neeraj Pandey commented on the series' success, saying, "'Taskaree' becoming the first Indian series to reach the no. 1 spot on the Netflix Global Top 10 Non English TV list is a significant moment, not just for the show but for Indian storytelling at large. It underlines the fact that unique stories rooted in our realities and set in spaces rarely explored can find resonance far beyond India when told with clarity and intent. Netflix gave the story the wings to travel, and the overwhelming response reaffirms our belief in the power of the narrative we chose to tell."

Emraan said in a statement, "Taskaree is a story we made with sincerity and a lot of respect for the officers who work relentlessly at our airports, and that lens fascinated all of us while making the show."

Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, added, "We're thrilled that 2026 has begun on such a high note. The audience response to Taskaree has been truly heartening...While the show is deeply local, its themes are universal, which is why audiences everywhere have connected so strongly with it. "
