5 Halal Netflix Shows I’d Totally Binge If They Were Halal Enough

Let’s talk about it.

You’re finally in your cozy pajamas, hijab flung on the chair, chai in one hand, popcorn in the other. You’re ready for a quiet night of binge-watching.

You open Netflix.
And there it is.

Half the shows make you cringe. The other half? You’ll need a fatwa just to finish Episode 1.

Where’s the drama without drama-drama? The laughs without fast-forwarding every 10 minutes? The comfort shows without awkward scenes you definitely don’t want your mum walking in on?

So, I made my own list.
Here’s the dream Muslimah-friendly lineup I’d binge without guilt, filters, or side-eye from the angels.


1. The Great British Bake Off – Halal Edition

Twelve contestants, one goal: whip up halal desserts, biryanis, and samosas without a trace of gelatin or questionable vanilla extract.

Bonus round: You get extra points for saying “Bismillah” before baking.

The tension? One contestant accidentally uses non-zabiha chicken. The horror!

Would I binge it? Yes — but never while fasting. I’m not that strong.


2. Keeping Up with the Khans

Think: real Muslim families with real-life chaos. Lost Eid shoes. Aunties fighting over who makes the best biryani. Cousins arriving five hours late for a 2-hour wedding.

It’s messy. It’s dramatic. But it’s our kind of dramatic — no scandal, just tea (and maybe spilled chai).

Would I binge it?
Only with WhatsApp open so I can gossip about it live with the girls.


3. Project Abaya Runway

Hijabi designers battle it out in a high-stakes, modest fashion showdown. One challenge? Design an Eid outfit using only a curtain, two hijab pins, and glitter tape.

Judges include a fashion-forward influencer and one aunty who only likes black abayas. Drama guaranteed.

Would I binge it?
Yes. And I’d screenshot every outfit I’ll never actually sew.


4. Survivor: Ramadan Edition

Twelve Muslims. One house. No snacks.

Contestants must survive 30 days of suhoor alarms, caffeine withdrawals, and long taraweeh prayers — all while trying not to start arguments right before iftar.

If you don’t cry before maghrib at least once, are you even fasting?

Would I binge it?
Yes, but never on an empty stomach.


5. The Amazing Halal Food Race

Contestants race through different cities finding the best halal food — from spice-heavy street kebabs to legendary biryani stalls.

Challenges include identifying shady “halal” signs, locating masjids for salah breaks, and surviving with only dates in your pocket.

Would I binge it?
Only if I had snacks beside me. I’m not trying to suffer.


Honorable Mentions

  • Say Yes to the Jilbab – Modest fashion meltdowns in real time.
  • Chai Spill Detectives – Solving who knocked the karak onto the prayer rug.
  • Law & Sharia – Hijabis bringing justice (and snacks).
  • Love in the Time of Rishtas – Halal rom-coms, arranged marriage style.
  • Desi MasterChef – Featuring sabotage via too much cardamom.

Final Thoughts

I don’t need explosions, shady love triangles, or bare-minimum love interests.
I want shows that feel like home, smell like cardamom, and make me laugh without a side of shame.

Until Netflix catches up, I’ll be over here — binge-watching my imagination and sipping on karak.

Someone send this blog post to a Muslim producer. We’re ready.
