Jo Bachay Hain: Netflix’s Big Pakistani Debut
Netflix is all set to make history this June with the release of its first-ever Pakistani original series, Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo. Produced by Momina Duraid Films, the series is based on the beloved novel by Farhat Ishtiaq, known for her emotionally rich storytelling and unforgettable characters.
The show boasts a star-studded cast featuring some of Pakistan’s biggest names—Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Sanam Saeed, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and Ahad Raza Mir. Their collaboration alone has sparked massive anticipation both in Pakistan and internationally.
At the heart of the story is Sikandar, a brilliant but troubled Harvard law student, and Liza, a mysterious and emotionally complex artist. Their unexpected encounter in Italy sets the stage for a powerful, cross-continental journey that weaves through the scenic landscapes of Europe and the cultural fabric of Pakistan. As they face painful pasts and critical life decisions, their intertwined destinies promise a deeply emotional narrative filled with love, loss, and redemption.
Commissioned by Netflix MENA, this project signals a major leap forward in South Asian representation on global streaming platforms. The adaptation promises to stay true to the soul of Farhat Ishtiaq’s novel while bringing cinematic depth and cultural resonance to the screen.
Though the complete cast list and official release date are still under wraps, the buzz surrounding Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo is already immense. As Netflix dives into the Pakistani entertainment space, this series could pave the way for more stories from the region to reach global audiences.
With its compelling storyline, stellar cast, and breathtaking locations, this is one series you won’t want to miss.
