Hurmat: HUM TV’s New Drama — Cast, Episode 1, Timing & Where to Watch

Updated: 7 October 2026. Episode 1 has arrived — HUM TV's official YouTube channel posted it with English subtitles dated 5 October 2026. The weekly broadcast slot has not been locked publicly yet, so this guide sticks to what the channel and the production have actually confirmed, and it gets refreshed the moment the schedule lands.

HUM TV's newest serial pairs two of Pakistan's most-followed young personalities for the first time on television. Hurmat, a Momina Duraid Productions serial, gives the title role to Dananeer Mobeen and hands Shahveer Jafry his first major television acting job — a casting swing that has been argued about, celebrated and dissected across Pakistani social media since the day it was confirmed. Now the first episode is finally out, and the questions everyone is searching — who is in it, what it is about, when does the next one come, and where do you watch it — all have concrete answers. Here they are in one place.

What Hurmat is about

Dananeer Mobeen plays Hareem Siddiqui, a young woman pushing against the limits her family and her circumstances keep placing on her. That framing puts Hurmat squarely inside a tradition HUM TV knows well: stories about women testing social restrictions from the inside out, where the drama comes not from villains but from expectations. Direction is by Nadeem Siddiqui, with a script by Kashif Anwar, and production has been underway for months under the Momina Duraid banner — the outfit behind a long line of the channel's biggest serials.

The pairing itself is part of the story. Jafry built his audience as a digital creator — appearances in the Chamkeele music video and the web series Barwan Khiladi rather than a scripted television résumé — and casting him opposite an established television name in a prime-time serial has been read as a deliberate bet on how far online fame carries onto the small screen. Mobeen's route was the reverse: a nationwide viral moment with Pawry Ho Rahi Hai, then a genuine acting run through Sinf-e-Aahan, Mohabbat Gumshuda Meri, Meem Se Mohabbat and Very Filmy, plus the film Mera Lyari. Hurmat is her next television lead, and the first episode lets both leads state their case.

The cast: who plays who

The announced ensemble surrounds its two newer, buzzier leads with serious veteran depth:

• Dananeer Mobeen — the title role, as Hareem Siddiqui.
• Shahveer Jafry — his television acting debut, in the male lead.
• Javed Sheikh — one of Pakistani cinema and television's most familiar senior faces, in a pivotal role.
• Omair Rana — the Sang-e-Mar Mar and Dil Na Umeed To Nahi actor, adding further weight to the household the story turns around.
• Farah Sadia, Ali Safina, Ali Tahir and Shehbaz Shigri — the supporting tier named alongside them at the production's announcement.

Character details for the supporting cast stay thin in the official material so far — as they are confirmed, our Hurmat show page keeps the full character map current.

Episode 1: when it arrived, and when the next one comes

The first episode is out: HUM TV's official YouTube channel posted Hurmat Episode 1 with English subtitles dated Sunday 5 October 2026, and the channel's first-episode promo pointed viewers to a 9:00 PM slot on YouTube. What the channel has not done yet is lock a weekly broadcast slot in public — there is no confirmed "every such-and-such day at such-and-such time" announcement as of 7 October, and we are not going to invent one. The moment HUM TV confirms the rhythm, this guide and the show page update with the full episode calendar, the way they already do for every other serial we track.

For the practical viewer, that means two things. First, episode 1 is watchable right now, free, with subtitles — details below. Second, if you would rather wait and binge a run of episodes once the weekly slot settles, nothing has been missed by holding off: the story is at its very beginning.

Where to watch officially

HUM TV's model for current serials is straightforward: the television broadcast on HUM TV itself, then the episode lands on the channel's official YouTube channel — with English subtitles on the main uploads, which matters for the huge overseas audience. The channel's own promo for Hurmat's first episode pointed to a 9:00 PM YouTube slot, which makes YouTube the easiest place to follow the serial week to week. HUM's streaming app, Hum Turbo, is the network's official home for its drama library as well. As always, we list official options only — there is no need to chase sketchy mirrors for a show the network is giving away free with subtitles.

Two dramas called Hurmat?

One genuinely confusing thing worth clearing up, because search results are mixing them up: two different upcoming projects have carried the Hurmat title. One is this Momina Duraid serial for HUM TV, starring Dananeer Mobeen and Shahveer Jafry. The other is a separate, unrelated project — reportedly involving actor Ahmed Ali Akbar — that has circulated clips on video platforms. Viewers scrolling casually have conflated the two entirely different shows, and entertainment pages have had to flag the mix-up directly. If you are here for the Mobeen-and-Jafry serial, that is the HUM TV one this guide covers; its episodes, cast and schedule live on the show page linked throughout.
