Prime Video’s upcoming series The Pyramid Scheme, starring Ranvir Shorey and Shekhar Suman, explores ambition, family, and the chaos of multi-level marketing. Backed by TVF, the 2026 release promises humor, drama, and sensitive storytelling with a stellar ensemble cast.
Prime Video has officially announced its latest original series, The Pyramid Scheme, produced by The Viral Fever (TVF) and created by Shreyansh Pandey. Directed jointly by Ashish Shukla and Pandey, the upcoming series aims to offer audiences an entertaining yet thought-provoking portrayal of ambition, greed, and the consequences that often follow unchecked desires.
At its core, The Pyramid Scheme follows the story of Goldy, a restless young man determined to rise above his ordinary circumstances. His pursuit of wealth takes him deep into the world of a multi-level marketing business. What initially seems like an opportunity for quick success soon unravels into chaos, threatening not only his financial stability but also the love and trust of his close-knit joint family. The series promises to depict the emotional turmoil, fractured relationships, and moral dilemmas that stem from unchecked ambition.
The show boasts an impressive ensemble cast led by Paramvir Cheema as Goldy, supported by acclaimed actors Ranvir Shorey, Shekhar Suman, Aanjjan Srivastav, Smita Bansal, and Alfia Jafry. Each character brings depth and perspective to the narrative, making the story more relatable to Indian households where family bonds and financial aspirations often collide.
Announcing the series on social media, the makers shared a couple of stills from the ongoing shoot. The caption read: “dreams, schemes & for everything in between 🎬 #ThePyramidSchemeOnPrime, Now Filming.” This teaser has already piqued audience curiosity, setting high expectations for the show, which is slated for a 2026 premiere.
While further details about the crew remain under wraps, the project is already generating buzz because of its unique mix of family drama, humor, and social commentary. The partnership between TVF—well-known for creating relatable yet impactful digital content—and Prime Video, a global streaming giant, makes the series a much-anticipated release in India’s OTT landscape.
In the meantime, Ranvir Shorey, one of the lead actors in the series, has been vocal about what sets The Pyramid Scheme apart from other shows in a similar genre. Recently seen in the web series Bindiya Ke Bahubali, Shorey emphasized the show’s “sensitive approach” in an exclusive conversation with IANS.
He explained, “I think the biggest USP of this is that, you are right, this genre is made a lot, and it has also been successful, but it has a little sensitivity, it has a little sensitive approach to that thing.”
When asked about humor being a key ingredient in the storytelling, Shorey added, “I also think that it is inherent in the story, in the situations, the humor is not forced, but the atmosphere there is like that, you know, they talk, they talk, everything has an extra, everyone has the knowledge to give, you understand, right? So, that is part and parcel of the package.”
Shorey’s words suggest that the series will stand out for its natural humor and everyday realism, blending lighthearted moments with deeper reflections on family, society, and ambition. With Shekhar Suman, another seasoned performer, also featuring prominently, audiences can expect layered performances that bring authenticity to the storytelling.
The announcement of The Pyramid Scheme highlights how Indian streaming platforms are increasingly investing in stories that reflect real-world challenges while packaging them in engaging narratives. The show’s focus on multi-level marketing businesses—an industry that has often been controversial—adds another layer of relevance, as many viewers are likely to find personal connections with the themes.
