Hum TV Dramas 2026: What's On Each Night, and Every Drama the Channel Has Aired This Year

IR

By Inaya Rizvi, Drama & Film Critic·October 31, 2026·9 min read

Hum TV's prime time is full every night of the week. A daily drama, Khushi, holds 7pm, and two serials share each of the 8pm and 9pm slots, so on any evening there are three new episodes to choose from. It's the channel's busiest line-up in months: six of the eight started between 13 September and 5 October.

It's also a line-up with one clear winner. Hurmat, the newest of the eight, has a first episode with almost as many YouTube views as the other six new dramas' first episodes combined, while a seven-year-old rerun, Aangan, is outdrawing most of the new shows.

Hum TV drama schedule: what's on each night

Those are the TV broadcast times. Each episode goes up on HUM TV's YouTube channel one hour later, so Khushi arrives at 8pm, the 8pm dramas at 9pm and the 9pm dramas at 10pm. HUM TV's promos give the YouTube time, which is why you'll see Hurmat advertised for "9 PM" and listed for 8pm on the channel's own website. Both are right.

Every Hum TV drama on air now

None of these has an announced total. Hum rarely publishes episode counts in advance, so any number you see for a drama still on air is a guess until the channel starts promoting a "2nd last" episode.

Hurmat (Monday and Tuesday, 8pm)

The drama of the season. Dananeer Mobeen plays a young woman fighting her father, played by Ali Tahir, for the right to study, and the YouTuber Shahveer Jafry makes his acting debut as the officer she sets out to marry. Written by Kashif Anwar and directed by Nadeem Siddique. Episode 8 turned the story on its head; we recap every episode in our Hurmat guide.

Gulbahar (Wednesday and Thursday, 8pm)

The line-up's most pedigreed drama: Mehreen Jabbar directs, from a script by Aliya Bukhari, with Sanam Saeed, Emmad Irfani and Komal Meer. Sarah and Sheheryar have been married for twelve years without children, and his sister is pushing for a second marriage that Sarah refuses to allow. Diya, a student whose mother turns to Sarah when she goes missing in a rainstorm, is the third person in the story, and HUM TV's own clips from recent episodes show where it has gone: a second wife, a pregnancy, and the question of who will raise the child.

Khushi (every day, 7pm)

Hum's daily, already near 50 episodes. Sumaiyya Bukhsh leads as Khushi, a girl whose father works in Germany and has missed most of her life, and the drama opens on her engagement in a crowded joint-family house, where her cousin Hamna lives under the same roof. Mariam Ejaz, Ahin Babar, Arsalan Khan, Behroz Sabzwari and Seemi Pasha co-star. Written by Hina Huma Nafees, directed by Haseeb Ali.

Tark-e-Tamanna (Wednesday to Friday, 9pm)

A hate-to-love story, by HUM TV's own description, with Janice Tessa and Mirza Zain Baig. It opens on Roshni, a top student from a lawyer's family, whose brother Sarim keeps failing his semesters and getting away with it. It launched as a five-nights-a-week drama and now airs three nights, Wednesday to Friday. Written by Rehana Aftab, directed by Nawaz Khan.

Bombay Tailors (Monday and Tuesday, 9pm)

The longest-running drama on the schedule, and the lightest. Its first episode opens with two brothers hawking a "Himalayan" pain oil in a market, and a character complaining that every Pakistani drama is a house of mourning. Ali Ansari and Anika Zulfikar lead, with Sania Saeed and Ali Tahir, who is also Hurmat's father in Hurmat. Written by Amtul Shahida, directed by Mazhar Moin.

Mohabbat Mukhtasir (Sunday, 8pm)

Hum's only once-a-week drama. Usama Khan plays Maaz, who comes home to a welcome party, watches his father hand officials another bribe, and asks him how a former manager became a rich man overnight. His father throws him out and makes him hand back his car keys and his watch. Madiha Imam co-stars, with Aly Khan and Atiqa Odho. Written by Nooran Makhdoom, directed by Meer Sikandar.

Zehar-e-Mohabbat (Saturday and Sunday, 9pm)

Zoha Tauqeer and Omer Shahzad lead a story HUM TV sells as being about "the fine line between trust, attachment and truth". It opens with a businessman's pampered daughter sulking through her birthday and a hard-up student, Arham, living on his older brother's charity. Written by Shahid Dogar, directed by Saqib Zafar Khan.

Aangan (Friday and Saturday, 8pm): a rerun

If Aangan looks familiar, that's because it is. This is the period drama based on Khadija Mastoor's novel about a divided family in the years before Partition, directed by Mohammed Ehteshamuddin from Mustafa Afridi's screenplay, which first aired on Hum from December 2018 to June 2019 and ran to 27 episodes. HUM TV's promo announced it simply as "Ek baar phir", once again. The repeat is doing well: the episode 1 upload has more than 11 million views.

Which Hum TV drama is most watched?

Hum doesn't publish TV ratings, but every first episode is on its YouTube channel, and the gap is huge. By 31 October, Hurmat's first episode had about 29.2 million views. Next among the new dramas came Gulbahar (8.0 million), Khushi (5.8 million), Bombay Tailors (5.4 million), Mohabbat Mukhtasir (5.2 million), Zehar-e-Mohabbat (4.4 million) and Tark-e-Tamanna (2.6 million). The Aangan rerun's 11.4 million is the surprise of the season. These counts favour older dramas, which have had longer to add up, which makes Hurmat's lead, from the newest drama of the lot, even more striking.

Hum TV dramas on YouTube: times around the world

Every episode is free on HUM TV's official channel and comes with English subtitles, so it's the easiest way to watch from anywhere. Outside Pakistan, the channel also broadcasts through its international feeds, including HUM Europe and HUM World, on their own schedules.

Hum TV dramas that ended in 2026

Two of those, Tum Larkay Bhi Na and Dekh Zara Pyar Se, ran nightly through Ramadan. The table leaves out reruns: besides Aangan, Hum also brought back Sang-e-Mah in January and ran an enhanced version of Udaari on YouTube.

September was a clear-out. Zanjeerain, Deewar, Leader, Naraz Hai Zindagi and Aap Ki Izzat all ended within three weeks, which is why so much of the current line-up is new.

Upcoming Hum TV dramas

As of 31 October, HUM TV hasn't announced a start date for any new drama. Its schedule is full, so the next premiere will most likely come when one of the current dramas ends; Bombay Tailors, more than 30 episodes in, is the likeliest to finish first. We'll add new dramas here as soon as the channel releases a teaser with a date.
