Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar, SonyLIV Roll Out Diverse OTT Lineup on June 26, 2026
Friday, June 26, 2026, saw four streaming giants refresh their libraries, delivering a smorgasbord of new titles that span action, drama, documentary, comedy and reality competition.
Netflix opened the day with a layered slate. The action‑thriller Blast is already on the platform; it follows a middle‑class family of martial‑arts experts who confront a corporate plot to mine a mountain, threatening a nearby village. The film stars Arjun Sarja, Abhirami, Preity Mukhundhan, John Kokken, Vivek Prasanna and Arun Chidambaram.
In addition, Netflix debuted Raja Shivaji, a historical action drama chronicling the rise of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Directed by Riteish Deshmukh, the film places him in the title role, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Genelia Deshmukh, Bhagyashree and a cameo by Salman Khan. Released theatrically on May 1, 2026, the movie is now streaming in both Marathi and Hindi.
Netflix also launched the four‑part documentary series Baahubali: The Torchbearer. Produced by SS Rajamouli, the series offers a behind‑the‑scenes look at the production, financial challenges and cultural impact of the Baahubali franchise. Interviews feature Prabhas, Rana Daggubati and other key crew members.
The comedy‑drama Little Brother joined the catalog on the same day. Directed by Matt Spicer, the R‑rated film stars John Cena and Eric André as brothers whose lives collide after the younger sibling returns home.
Finally, Netflix introduced Lock Upp Season 2, a reality competition that places fourteen celebrities in a prison‑style setting. The show is hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh and features contestants Ram Kapoor, Shivangi Joshi and Pamela Serena.
SonyLIV’s new release is the comedy‑drama series Perfect Family. The show follows the Karkaria family, who appear ordinary until the youngest daughter experiences panic attacks at school. The series stars Gulshan Devaiah, Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa, Seema Pahwa, Girija Oak Godbole and Kaveri Seth.
JioHotstar added the Tamil crime‑thriller series Lingam. The story centers on Kathir, a kabaddi champion who turns to crime after being wrongfully accused of murder. The series stars Kathir, Divya Bharathi, Poornima Ravi, Sathya, Bose Venkat and a cameo by Vemal.
Amazon Prime Video’s addition is the reality competition Alliance. Hosted by Kunal Kemmu, the show brings sixteen celebrities into pairs that must navigate psychological warfare and shifting alliances.

The releases illustrate the breadth of content now available on OTT platforms. Netflix’s mix of original and acquired titles—from a martial‑arts thriller to a historical drama and a documentary—demonstrates its strategy to attract diverse audiences. SonyLIV’s Perfect Family and JioHotstar’s Lingam add regional language programming, while Amazon Prime Video’s Alliance expands its reality‑show portfolio.
These titles are part of a broader trend in which streaming services continue to invest in varied genres and formats to compete for viewer attention. The addition of Raja Shivaji and Baahubali: The Torchbearer also signals a growing appetite for Indian historical and franchise‑based content on global platforms.
As of now, the new releases are available for streaming on their respective platforms, with Raja Shivaji and Baahubali: The Torchbearer debuting on Netflix on June 26. Viewers can access the other titles on SonyLIV, JioHotstar and Amazon Prime Video on the same day.
The weekend’s lineup offers a snapshot of the current entertainment landscape, where OTT platforms continue to diversify their libraries with action, drama, documentary, comedy and reality programming to meet the varied tastes of audiences worldwide.
