Glory trailer
The power-packed trailer of Glory, a riveting series about revenge and ambition, was unveiled on Friday. With a murder mystery at its core, the series is set in the high-stakes world of Indian boxing, where the ring becomes a battleground for personal conflicts, buried secrets, and emotional reckoning. The Netflix series has been created by Karan Anshuman and Karmanya Ahuja.
Marking a first-of-its-kind launch, Netflix brought the world of Glory to life by hosting a LIVE boxing face-off between Pulkit Samrat and professional boxer Neeraj Goyat, which blurred the lines between fiction and reality to create an immersive experience.
The trailer of Glory shows the dynamics beyond the family open into a world where every character has a stake. Sikandar Kher's Kookie Gulati looms over Shaktigarh, as Ashutosh Rana's Viju Sanghwan drives the boxing rivalry. Meanwhile, Sayani Gupta's Joyna is on her toes, digging into Nihal's death, uncovering deeper links, while Kashmira Pardeshi's Bharti stands at the centre, as a sharp and unpredictable character.
The power-packed cast of Glory includes Divyenndu, Pulkit Samrat, Suvinder Vicky, Jannat Zubair, Ashutosh Rana, Sikandar Kher, Sayani Gupta, Yashpal Sharma, Kashmira Pardeshi and Kunal Thakur.
At its core, Glory is the story of a fractured family forced back together. Raghubir Singh (Suvinder Vicky) is a formidable boxing coach who is obsessed with Olympic glory but struggles to hold together a legacy that is slowly unravelling under the weight of strained relationships. Meanwhile, his sons Dev (Divyenndu) and Ravi (Pulkit Samrat) return to Shaktigarh to reveal the truth behind the brutal assault on their sister Gudiya (Jannat Zubair) and the mysterious death of a rising Olympic boxing star, Nihal Singh.
Speaking about the series, Tanya Bami, Director, Series, India at Netflix, said, " With Glory, we set out to do something truly first-of-its-kind: a sports crime thriller that asks what ambition, legacy, truth, and revenge really mean when they collide at the highest stakes. Set against the fiercely competitive world of boxing and the thirst for Olympic gold, Glory goes far beyond conventional sports drama, layering intense emotion with a suspense-driven core that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. With Karan Anshuman's singular creative vision at the helm, and an exceptional ensemble in Divyenndu, Pulkit Samrat, Survinder Vicky, Sikander Kher, Ashutosh Rana, Sayani Gupta, and Jannat Zubair, we believe this series will be the perfect binge watch ."
Creator and director Karan Anshuman shared, "At its heart, Glory is about the pursuit of Olympic gold - the most exalted idea of physical achievement - and the darkness that can gather around that dream. The series explores how inherited ambition, violence, and the hunger for greatness can corrupt everything around it."
Karmanya Ahuja added, "In Glory, boxing is language. It is how people express grief, love, rage, ambition, and even silence. The ring becomes an altar for personal expression."
Produced by Mohit Shah and Karan Anshuman under the Atomic Films banner, the story is written by Anshuman, Ahuja, and Vaibhav Vishal, and directed by Anshuman and Kanishk Varma. Glory premieres on Netflix on May 1, 2026.
