Overview

  • Netflix confirmed Thursday that Alpha will begin streaming on August 28, 2026, a date that coincides with the Raksha Bandhan holiday in India.
  • Alpha is promoted as the seventh film in Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe and the franchise’s first prominently female‑led entry, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari.
  • The film was directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Aditya Chopra, and it features a cameo by Hrithik Roshan’s Agent Kabir that links Alpha to the wider franchise.
  • Alpha opened in cinemas in July after multiple delays, earned roughly ₹99–100 crore worldwide on a reported ₹100 crore budget, and received mixed reviews for its screenplay and execution.
  • The Netflix window gives viewers who missed the theatrical run broader access and could prompt fresh audience and critical reassessment, while also widening the Spy Universe’s reach ahead of future instalments.
