Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 9 (ANI): Prime Video has announced that its upcoming Prime Original series ‘Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya’ will premiere worldwide on July 24.
The seven-episode comedy-drama, led by Kay Kay Menon, will stream in Hindi with English subtitles across India and more than 240 countries and territories.
Directed by Himank Gaur, the series is created and executive produced by Biswapati Sarkar and Sameer Saxena under the banner of Posham Pa Pictures.
The screenplay has been written by Biswapati Sarkar, Akshay Asthana, Nupur Pai, Tatsat Pandey and Meghna Srivastava.

Set in a dysfunctional school, Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya follows Gyaneshwar Tripathi (Kay Kay Menon), a laid-back headmaster whose ambition to secure a government-sponsored training programme in Cambridge sparks an unexpected journey of transformation.
As he works with an unlikely group of teachers to improve one of the city’s most underperforming schools, they face everyday challenges, including unruly classrooms, limited resources, parental apathy, and operational hurdles.
The series blends comedy with emotion while highlighting resilience and hope within an overlooked institution.
Announcing the premiere date, Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals, Prime Video, India, said, “Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya is a warm, spirited comedy about the chaos and contradictions of a system beautifully held together by the sheer perseverance of its people. The storytelling is full of wit, soul, and a deeply relatable narrative, brought to life by the creative vision of Biswapati Sarkar, Sameer Saxena, Himank Gaur, and the entire team behind the show. We look forward to bringing this delightful series to audiences in India and across the world when it premieres on Prime Video on July 24,” in a press note.
Sharing the inspiration behind the series, co-creators and executive producers Biswapati Sarkar and Sameer Saxena said, “It began with a simple idea, to tell a story about a school that appears to be failing on every measurable parameter but is held together by people who continue to show up and try. The series explores the comedy, absurdity, and everyday challenges of life inside a dysfunctional school, while also celebrating the resilience of teachers and students who refuse to give up on each other. Gyaneshwar is an unconventional protagonist whose journey is as entertaining as it is moving, and Kay Kay Menon brings incredible charm and depth to the role. Bringing this world to life with Himank, our writers, cast, and crew has been immensely rewarding,” in a press note.
