Pankaj Tripathi to make his debut as a producer in India's first YouTube pay-mode series

The YouTube series, Perfect Family, will debut on November 27, 2025, on the JAR Series YouTube channel. Backed by Ajay Rai of JAR Pictures and Mohit Chhabra, the eight-episode show is directed by Sachin Pathak and created by Palak Bhambri. The series is a big step for the digital platform, especially as others experiment with alternative release models. This comes following earlier attempts like Sitaare Zameen Par, which chose a direct YouTube release after its theatrical run.

Where and how to watch Perfect Family?

Talking about Perfect Family, viewers will be able to watch the first two episodes for free. However, after that, the remaining episodes can be accessed with a one-time payment of Rs. 59, offering global audiences an easy way to watch the complete season. The series features an impeccable cast, including Gulshan Devaiah, Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa, Seema Pahwa, and Girija Oak.

What is the plot of Perfect Family?

Perfect Family is the story of a family pushed into therapy. While it will be told as a light-hearted drama, the story centres on a family seeking professional help after an incident involving their young daughter, using humour to address the stigma around mental health support in India. In a country where mental health is still finding its voice, it will be interesting to see how the audience will react to the show.

Each episode will reportedly run 35-40 minutes. The series will situate it within a larger movement toward diversified distribution models that promise broader access and new revenue streams for creators. The show will be available exclusively on the JAR Series YouTube channel starting November 27, 2025.
