Inspection Bungalow OTT release: Actor Dileep unveils trailer. When and where to watch Malayalam's first horror-comedy series

Malayalam audiences are in for a spooky yet laughter-filled treat this November. Inspection Bungalow, touted as the first-ever Malayalam horror-comedy web series, promises to bring an unusual mix of mystery, humour and supernatural thrills. The trailer for the series was unveiled by actor Dileep on Tuesday (November 4), sparking excitement among fans eager to see how the genre will play out in Malayalam.

Streaming details of Inspection Bungalow

The series will start streaming from 12 am on November 14, 2025, on ZEE5 and OTTplay Premium, the platforms confirmed. Directed by Saiju SS, the show is described as a “comedy investigation into the unexplained,” bringing eerie elements with light-hearted moments. The tagline on the official poster, “The doors of laughter and horror are about to open!”, perfectly captures the tone of what viewers can expect.



From the early visuals, Inspection Bungalow seems to centre around a police station where a series of strange and comical incidents unfold. It combines the structure of a suspense drama with the chaos of a workplace comedy, giving a fresh spin to Malayalam storytelling on the web.

The series features an ensemble cast including Shaju Sreedhar, Jayan Cherthala, Veena Nair, Balaji Sarma, Senthil Krishna Rajamani, and Sreejith Ravi, all of whom are known for their impeccable comic timing and screen presence. Each actor brings a unique flair to the show’s quirky setup, adding to the excitement around this project.

More about Inspection Bungalow

While the trailer teases mysterious happenings, it also hints at plenty of humour, making it an ideal pick for viewers who enjoy light entertainment with a spooky twist. The makers have confirmed that the full trailer will be out soon, giving fans a closer look at the characters and storyline before its release.

The arrival of the Inspection Bungalow marks another milestone in Malayalam’s expanding web content space. In recent months, platforms have been investing heavily in regional shows that mix creativity with local flavour. For instance, Kammattam, a thriller inspired by a controversial case in Thrissur, and Sambhavavivaranam Nalara Sangham (The Chronicles of the 4.5 Gang), a dark comedy set in Trivandrum, both found success among OTT audiences.

Other Malayalam web series released this year include Kerala Crime Files 2: The Search for CPO Ambili Raju and Love Under Construction, which received positive responses for their engaging plots and relatable characters.

Meanwhile, another highly anticipated Malayalam project, Pharma, starring Nivin Pauly, is also gearing up for release later this month on the same streaming platforms.
