As HBO shows make a comeback on a new streaming platform in India, some of our favourite ones are winding to a close—all in the same month

June’s OTT offerings include an exciting range of thrillers with a dash of comedy

As HBO shows make a comeback on a new streaming platform in India, some of our favourite ones are winding to a close—all in the same month

With Reliance’s JioCinema streaming app finally going the paid premium way, audiences in India have now been granted access to popular films and shows on HBO and Warner Bros. that were taken off Disney+Hotstar in March this year, after the latter lost its streaming rights to their content. The entertainment giant had also lost its IPL streaming license in 2022, with the deal subsequently landing with JioCinema, where cricket matches could be viewed for free.

As HBO and Warner Bros’ stellar content returns for “legitimate” streaming in India via JioCinema Premium, users can now subscribe to it through the app or from a web browser for an annual fee of ₹999. And while the audience explores this exciting new repertory, we take a look at what OTT platforms have to offer in the month of June.

The Night Manager, Season 1, Part 2 The espionage thriller—a remake of the 2016 popular British show by the same name—returns for the second half of its maiden season to follow Shantanu ‘Shaan’ Sengupta (Aditya Roy Kapur), a former Indian navy officer serving as a night manager in luxury hotels, as he finds himself in the middle of an illegal arms trade nexus led by Anil Kapoor’s Shailendra ‘Shelly’ Rungta. The show also stars Tillotama Shome, Sobhita Dhulipala, and Saswata Chatterjee in lead roles, and is all set to come back on 30 June.Streaming platform: Disney+HotstarImage: IMDB
