JioStar has released ‘Jungle Tales with Mowgli’ under its Kids & Family portfolio. The series was unveiled on JioHotstar and Disney Channel on 12th September 2026, 2 PM.
Built around the ever curious and mischievous 10-year-old Mowgli, Jungle Tales with Mowgli follows his eccentric adventures as he navigates life in the jungle, often finding himself in trouble along the way.
With situational comedy, slapstick chases and playful banter at its heart, the series brings together a vibrant ensemble of familiar characters that many grew up with, including Mowgli’s friends Baloo and Bagheera, and his rivals Sherkhan, Kaa and Tabaqui, bringing a touch of nostalgia for parents while introducing these beloved characters to kids.
Alok Jain, Head - Hindi & English Entertainment Business (Streaming, TV & Studios), JioStar, said “Some characters are evergreen and have the unique ability to belong to more than one generation. Mowgli is one of them. Through our latest launch, Jungle Tales with Mowgli, we wanted to take the timeless world of Jungle Book and reimagine it with the energy, humour and sensibility of the contemporary kids and families of today. We see this story as one with a very strong universal appeal, a story that has the power to connect with children and families across the length and breadth of the country, one that they will love watching together.”
Nivea and Tedibar have joined Jungle Tales with Mowgli as Co-powered By sponsors.
