Hosted by Kunal Kemmu the global series will premiere on Prime Video on June 26

Mumbai, June 25, 2026: Payal Dhare, popularly known as Payal Gaming, one of India’s most influential gaming creators, is set to make her reality television debut with Alliance, Prime Video’s first-ever global daily reality series. Widely recognised as a trailblazer in India’s gaming and creator ecosystem, Payal will enter the competition alongside actress Sabby Suri, representing a new generation of digital creators on a global entertainment stage.

Produced by Banijay Asia, Alliance is the first international adaptation of the Dutch reality format created by John de Mol and Talpa Studios. Hosted by actor Kunal Kemmu in his reality television hosting debut, the show will premiere globally on June 26, launching simultaneously across India and more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. The series will feature 42 episodes released daily over six weeks, making it Prime Video’s first-ever daily show globally.

The competition will see 16 contestants enter the game as pairs, navigating strategic alliances, shifting loyalties, and unexpected betrayals as they compete to outlast one another. The show features a diverse lineup of personalities from entertainment, sports, television, and digital content, including Daisy Shah, Ravi Kishan, Ruhee Dosani, and several other prominent names.

Payal’s participation marks another major milestone in a career that has helped redefine the role of gaming creators in India’s entertainment landscape. In 2024, she became the first Indian female gamer to win an international award after being named ‘Streamer of the Year’ at the MOBIES Awards in Los Angeles. She was also the only female gamer invited to participate in the landmark gaming roundtable discussion hosted by Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Today, with more than 4.68 million subscribers on YouTube and 5.2 million followers on Instagram, Payal has built one of India’s largest gaming communities and emerged as a leading voice in the country’s creator ecosystem. As a creator with S8UL Esports, a global name in esports and gaming content, she has been at the forefront of India’s rapidly evolving creator and gaming ecosystem. Her entry into Alliance reflects the growing influence of gaming creators beyond digital platforms and into mainstream entertainment.

Commenting on her participation, Payal Dhare said: “Gaming and content creation have given me opportunities I could never have imagined when I first started streaming. Alliance is a completely new challenge for me. It takes me out of my comfort zone and puts me in an environment where every decision matters. I’m excited, nervous, and looking forward to experiencing this journey alongside an incredible group of contestants. I hope my community enjoys seeing a different side of me and joins me on this adventure.”

With Alliance bringing together some of the country’s most recognisable personalities, audiences will get an opportunity to see a different side of Payal as she steps away from her gaming setup and into a high-pressure environment that rewards teamwork, adaptability, resilience, and strategic decision-making.

As gaming continues to cement its place within India’s entertainment landscape, creators like Payal are increasingly finding opportunities beyond traditional digital platforms, helping bridge the worlds of gaming, content, and mainstream culture.
