Andhera Web Series on Prime Video: Horror stories have their own intoxication. Covering the eyes with trembling hands and still seeing fear peeking through the cracks in the curtain—this is the same passion that gives the taste of real horror. And now, taking this passion to a new level, ‘Andhera’ is coming, a web series that will not only scare you, but will create restlessness within you.
‘Andhera’ is knocking on OTT—a new combination of horror and drama
Andhera is Prime Video’s much-awaited supernatural horror web series, which has been created in collaboration with Excel Entertainment. The series will feature brilliant actors like Surveen Chawla, Prajakta Koli, Priya Bapat, and Vatsal Seth in lead roles. This eight-episode series will be released simultaneously in more than 240 countries around the world on August 14, 2025.
‘Andhera’—a fear that will not just be seen, but will be felt deep inside
The creator of the series, Gaurav Desai, says that making ‘Andhera’ is like a dream come true for him. He has been interested in horror stories since childhood, but this time he has gone a step ahead and brought a story that is not limited to just scaring. It is a journey that forces you to think at every turn of the story.
Gaurav says that his attempt was to show a fear that is not superficial, but reaches the heart. There should not be only shocks or screams on the screen, but there should be a depth that does not go out of the mind even after the episode is over.
A story that gives thrill and emotion, along with fear
Andhera is a unique blend of investigative drama and supernatural thriller. The series is directed by Raghav Dar, while its story is written by Gaurav Desai, Chintan Sarda, Raghav Dar, and Karan Anshuman.
Even before its release, the first poster of this series is giving goosebumps to the audience. There is a lot of discussion on social media about its trailer as well. The name of Excel Entertainment and Farhan Akhtar already gives the audience confidence that they will get to see something new, powerful, and different, and ‘Andhera’ seems to be completely true to that confidence.
Experience of fear, full of visual effects and sound design
Prime Video’s Originals Head Nikhil Madhok said that ‘Andhera’ is not only a scary story, but it is also going to keep the audience emotionally engaged. The twists and turns of this show, the fast-paced story, and dark cinematography make it different from common horror shows.
He believes that there is a different enthusiasm about supernatural horror in India, and ‘Andhera’ is going to give new life to that enthusiasm.
The starcast and production team together created a web of fear
The casting of this web series is very accurate. Actors like Surveen Chawla, Prajakta Koli, and Priya Bapat not only make a strong presence on screen but also bring depth to their characters.
Apart from this, Karanvir Malhotra, Praveen Dabas, and Pranay Pachauri also add an emotional layer to the story with their important roles. Experienced producers like Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Mohit Shah, and Qasim Jagmagia are behind this project, which gives ‘Andhera’ a great production value.
If you want to get the real taste of horror, thrill and drama, then ‘Andhera’, coming on Prime Video on 14 August 2025, is the perfect choice for you. This web series does not just show fear, but takes you inside it.
Next time you’re alone in the dark, maybe you’ll remember—fear is never just an imagination, it can be the ‘darkness’ that goes with you.
