A New Chapter for Netflix in Thailand
Netflix's 2026 lineup showcases the evolution of local viewing habits and the growing maturity of Thailand's creative industry. This year marks a significant shift with the launch of 'Doo Thai Nham Jai Tee Netflix,' a brand initiative focused on original Thai productions and licensed content. The 2026 slate presents an extensive range of genres, supported by productions that demonstrate a higher level of scale and craftsmanship, from prestige dramas and psychological thrillers to action films, epic soap operamas, heartfelt comedies, and investigative nonfiction.
Highlighting Original Content
One of the standout titles is The Evil Lawyer, which pairs an idealistic young attorney with a lawyer known for bending the rules. The series uses the legal arena to explore power, morality, and the grey spaces within Thailand's justice system. Directed by Nottapon Boonkrapob (Mad Unicorn), this marks his next collaboration with Netflix.
Another notable entry is Delusion, a psychological family drama set in a rural community. The series revolves around a daughter fighting to uncover the truth about her father, whose worsening dementia places him at the center of a spate of murders. As old suspicions resurface and superstition blends with fear, the series examines how fragile memory and collective belief can shape the truth.
Reimagining Iconic Stories
Empress Of Flames arrives as an ambitious reimagining of one of Thailand's most iconic lakorn titles, brought to life on an unprecedented scale. Led by a new generation of creators at original production house Kantana, the series features expansive locations, richly detailed sets, and striking period costumes, anchored by an all-star ensemble cast. Bringing deeper character exploration and a richer narrative lens, it relooks a world of palace intrigue, shifting alliances, and the personal cost of pursuing power, revealing new layers and perspectives never explored in past adaptations.
Another exciting addition is The Debt Collector, which introduces Nadech Kugimiya in a role that moves away from his familiar romantic persona and into a grittier action space. He plays a former underground enforcer racing against a terminal illness to make right the life-shattering debts suffered by illegal loan victims.
Action and Emotional Depth
My Dearest Assassin blends high-stakes action with a deeply emotional love story. It follows a young woman raised by a family of contract killers but never trained as one herself, until a brutal attack claims the lives of many in her found family. Hunted for her rare blood type and forced to confront an old enemy, she undergoes intensive training to fight alongside those she loves.
The Red Line, from the creative team behind Hunger, tackles one of Thailand's most pervasive modern threats: call-centre scams. When a group of women fall victim to a sophisticated operation and find limited support through formal channels, they band together in search of answers.
Comedy and Family Dynamics
Overacting serves up a warm family comedy infused with intentionally exaggerated, over-the-top action from renowned comedy director Prueksa Amaruji. When an ageing father slips into memories of his days as a police officer, his daughter, an aspiring actor, stages wildly choreographed "missions" with her friends to keep him safe, creating heartfelt and humorous moments that blur the line between performance and caregiving.
True-Crime Documentary
Rounding out the slate is Chompoo: Lost and Forgotten, Netflix Thailand's first true-crime documentary, co-produced with Singapore's Beach House Pictures and Thai Film Works. What began as a missing-child case in a remote village spiraled into a media storm that turned the accused into an unexpected public figure. The film traces how a criminal investigation became a cultural spectacle and examines the forces that propelled it.
Continuing Legacy with Licensed Titles
In addition to original content, Netflix will continue to offer a strong lineup of licensed Thai titles, including Death Whisperer 3, Girl From Nowhere: The Reset, and The Seven Legends. These titles reflect the enduring popularity of Thai storytelling and the continued demand for diverse content.
