Netflix's Beloved Series 'Mismatched' Sets Final Season for 2026 Release
The popular Netflix India original series 'Mismatched' is officially heading toward its conclusion, with the streaming platform announcing that Season 4 will be the show's final chapter. The announcement was made on February 3, 2026, sparking widespread reactions and emotional posts from fans across social media platforms who have followed the journey of Dimple and Rishi since the series began.
First Look Video Reunites Lead Characters at Iconic Mumbai Location
Netflix marked the announcement with a poignant first look video featuring Prajakta Koli and Rohit Saraf reprising their roles as Dimple and Rishi. The brief but powerful clip returns to Marine Drive in Mumbai, exactly where Season 3 left the characters, signaling that the story is moving toward its definitive ending. The video contains no dialogue or background score, simply showing the two familiar faces standing side by side, gazing at the sea—a moment that longtime viewers interpret as a deliberate, emotional pause before the final goodbye.
Season 4 to Focus on Second Chances and Unfinished Business
According to the makers, Season 4 will center on the theme of second chances, exploring what happens when two people who believed they had said goodbye are unexpectedly pulled back into each other's lives. The season promises to address the unresolved feelings between Rishi and Dimple, who have evolved, chosen different paths, and grown apart over time, yet whose story remains incomplete. Netflix India teased the tone of the final season with a social media post stating: "We've cried, we've screamed, we've shipped. Let's meet for a cold coffee non-date, one last time?"
Returning Cast and Creative Team for the Finale
The closing season will see the return of key creative personnel, with Divyang Thakkar returning as director and Gazal Dhaliwal credited as creator, while Ronnie Screwvala continues as producer. Familiar faces from the ensemble cast will also reappear for the farewell season, including:
- Rannvijay Singha
- Vidya Malvade
- Ahsaas Channa
- Taaruk Raina
- Muskkaan Jaaferi
- Abhinav Sharma
This confirmation puts an end to speculation about the lead cast, ensuring that fans will see the original characters conclude their arcs.
Background: From Season 3's Cliffhanger to the Final Chapter
Netflix released Season 3 of 'Mismatched' on December 13, 2024, introducing a three-year time jump that placed the characters in a more challenging phase of life, marked by greater responsibilities and diminished clarity. The season depicted Rishi and Dimple with sharper edges and quieter hurt, still emotionally connected by feelings they had never fully resolved. Viewers were captivated by this tension, especially as the season took a serious turn and ended with their story hanging in the balance, setting the stage for the upcoming final season.
The series, which began with coding classes, cold coffees, and missed signals, will now head toward its conclusion with one more meet-up, one more honest conversation, and the last page of the 'Mismatched' story. Netflix has slated the final season for a 2026 release, ensuring that fans have ample time to anticipate and prepare for the emotional farewell of this beloved show.
