40 Best Hindi Web Series You Can Binge Watch Anytime (2024)

The last decade was a golden decade for the OTT platforms which significantly increased the trend of watching web series. A decade of internet revolution in India has triggered this trend which results in watching Hindi web series from the comfort of their homes. It has become the millennials’ most preferred hobby ever.

Youth in India were enraged by the disappointing performance of general entertainment content on television. Many studies have shown that young people under the age of 29, prefer online sources of entertainment which are basically web series coming from OTT platforms due to the fact that the concepts of web series are brand new and include stories with a wide range of themes and topics, this acted as a catalyst in booming this industry in the last decade.

The availability of fresh content every day with shorter seasons and episodes has struck the modern generation’s desire for new content and that requires a short attention span. This provided the ideal counterbalance to the never-ending Indian Television shows. The popularity of hindi series has also led to the development of new storytellers who are looking for new mediums of expression for a long time. The last decade is definitely a golden age for those kinds of storytellers because of the increasing popularity of OTT platforms and their contents.

Here is the list of the finest Hindi-language desi web series over the recent decade:

1. TVF Inmates

Five buddies, Madhav, Fooga, Rahul, Kay, and Richa, share a house in TVF Inmates, an Indian web series.
