Desi Bling: Netflix’s New Luxury Reality Show? Coming In 2026
Desi Bling drops viewers into the ultra‑glam world of Indian expats who have turned Dubai into their personal runway. The series follows a tight-knit circle of entrepreneurs, socialites, and heirs as they jet-set in supercars, host over-the-top parties, shop couture by the dozen, and constantly battle for the top spot on the city’s glittering social ladder. While the setting is all sparkle, the format still leans on the classic reality‑TV formula: shifting alliances, ego-driven showdowns, and a never-ending quest for status.
Desi Bling: Netflix’s New Luxury‑Reality Show
Desi Bling: A Reality Series. Welcome to one of Dubai’s most flamboyant and exclusive Desi circles, where billionaires, Birkin bags, and big egos rule. As TV stars and upstarts Karan Kundra and Tejasswi enter the high-stakes society of wealthy Indian expats, they get more than they bargained for. Alliances shift, relationships crack, and gossip becomes currency. Is all that glitters really gold?
The team of Desi Bling shares, “With Desi Bling, we wanted to lift the veil on one of Dubai’s most exclusive desi inner circles—a world where money talks, status rules, and gossip travels faster than WhatsApp forwards. It’s high-gloss, high-stakes, and unapologetically dramatic. As new players from India enter the scene, loyalties flip, friendships crack, and picture-perfect lives begin to unravel. Packed with real personalities, big energy, and zero filters, Desi Bling is a bold, glamorous, and deliciously spicy, revealing addition to Netflix’s unscripted slate.”
