Rohit Sharma is set to make his entertainment debut with Sony Pictures Networks India’s ‘Family Full House’, premiering September 19, 2026, on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV, as the World Cup-winning captain continues his ODI cricket career.
India’s World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma is set to make his debut in the entertainment sector with Sony Pictures Networks India’s upcoming show, ‘Family Full House’, which is scheduled to premiere on September 19, 2026.
The makers officially announced the title and premiere date of the show on Monday, generating considerable interest among both cricket fans and television audiences. ‘Family Full House’ will premiere exclusively on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV, bringing Rohit Sharma into a new entertainment role after years of success on the cricket field.
The upcoming programme marks a new chapter in Rohit’s career as he ventures beyond professional cricket. Known for his leadership, batting achievements and calm personality, the Indian star will headline the Sony Pictures Networks India production as it becomes his first major appearance in the entertainment sector.
Rohit Sharma has already stepped away from Test and T20 international cricket but continues to represent India in the ODI format. His ongoing ODI career has kept the spotlight firmly on his future, particularly with the 2027 ODI World Cup approaching.
At 39, questions have continued to surround Rohit’s international future. During India’s recent tour of England, there was speculation that the series decider could potentially be his final international appearance. However, the veteran opener responded strongly on the field.
Rohit scored an impressive 138 runs while chasing a target of 388 against England, ending the ODI series with 175 runs in three matches. He averaged 58.33 during the series and maintained an impressive strike rate of 98.31. His performances subsequently intensified discussions about whether he could continue playing for India and potentially feature in the 2027 World Cup.
While his cricketing future remains a major topic among sports fans, his upcoming television debut is expected to introduce him to a much wider entertainment audience.
Earlier this month, Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) unveiled its extensive festive-season content slate, with ‘Family Full House’ among the programmes announced for the upcoming season.
The festive line-up also features the latest season of the popular reality game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, which will once again be hosted by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan. Another major attraction is the ‘Indian Game Show’, hosted by television personalities Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa. The programme brings together several familiar faces from the television industry for a series of entertaining challenges.
Meanwhile, Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn has taken on hosting duties for ‘Crime Patrol 2026’, a true-crime series that is also part of Sony’s festive programming.
Sony LIV will additionally showcase ‘Scam 2010’, a series directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Hansal Mehta. Produced by Sony LIV, Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment, the series will explore the rise and fall of a major financial empire.
