From a newsroom mockumentary trying to find its footing to a long-delayed dacoit thriller, a Colombian microdrama built around organ trafficking and a period series revisiting India’s revolutionary movement, this week’s OTT slate offers an unusually varied mix.
There is also Tamil political drama, a star-led directorial debut, horror-comedy and something lighter for younger viewers.
Here is what is arriving on streaming platforms between September 7 and 13, 2026.
1. The Paper Season 2
Genre: Mockumentary Comedy
Release Date: September 10, 2026
Where to Watch: JioHotstar
The Office spin-off returns to the struggling Toledo Truth Teller, where editor-in-chief Ned Sampson, played by Domhnall Gleeson, and reporter Mare Pritti, played by Chelsea Frei, are navigating an office romance neither seems particularly equipped to handle. Around them, the rest of the newsroom continues its increasingly chaotic effort to keep the newspaper alive. Sabrina Impacciatore and Oscar Nuñez return from the first season, while Jon Lovitz, Matt Braunger and Andy Richter join the ensemble. All ten episodes are set to arrive together.
Who Should Watch It?
Fans of dry, character-driven workplace comedies and the mockumentary style associated with The Office.
2. Ghamasaan
Genre: Crime Drama
Release Date: September 11, 2026
Where to Watch: ZEE5
Tigmanshu Dhulia’s dacoit thriller finally reaches streaming three years after it was completed. Pratik Gandhi plays Aditya, an IPS officer pursuing Maharaj, a feared outlaw played by Arshad Warsi, across the rugged Bundelkhand landscape.
Rather than relying on repeated face-to-face confrontations, the film builds tension through the parallel worlds occupied by the two men — and through the political corruption, caste equations and moral ambiguities surrounding them. Ishita Dutta, Rajpal Yadav and Jatin Goswami feature in supporting roles.
Who Should Watch It?
Viewers who prefer slow-burning crime dramas over conventional action-heavy cop-versus-gangster stories.
3. Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot
Genre: Horror Comedy
Release Date: September 11, 2026
Where to Watch: JioHotstar
The familiar forty thieves make way for forty restless ghosts in this folklore-driven horror-comedy. Asha Negi plays Alisha “Ali” Nigam, a science-minded neuropsychology expert who returns home after her archaeologist father goes missing. His disappearance soon becomes entangled with forty cursed statues and a supernatural mystery rooted in local folklore. Vishal Vashishtha plays Baba, a police officer who is convinced that ghosts exist and is determined to find proof.
Who Should Watch It?
Viewers looking for a light supernatural mystery with humour and folklore rather than full-scale horror.
4. Stolen Heartbeats
Genre: Thriller
Language/Origin: Colombian
Release Date: September 11, 2026
Where to Watch: Netflix
Originally titled En Coma, this Colombian thriller follows Anabel, who is left comatose after a violent attack, and Rafael, a nurse who can hear the voices of the dead. Rafael gradually becomes her only real line of defence against an organ-trafficking network that is still hunting her.
Its format is particularly unusual: the story unfolds across 50 short episodes, each running between roughly one and five minutes. The result is closer to a binge-oriented microdrama than a conventional hour-long television thriller.
Who Should Watch It?
Viewers interested in high-concept thrillers and experimental short-form storytelling.
5. The Revolutionaries
Genre: Period Action Drama
Release Date: September 11, 2026
Where to Watch: Prime Video
Directed by Nikkhil Advani and based on Sanjeev Sanyal’s book Revolutionaries: The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom, the series turns its attention to young revolutionaries who rejected constitutional protest in favour of armed resistance against British rule.
Set across Bengal and Punjab, the story focuses on figures associated with the revolutionary strand of India’s freedom struggle. Bhuvan Bam plays Rash Behari Bose, Pratibha Ranta appears as Pratibha Lahiri, Rohit Saraf plays Sachindra Nath Sanyal and Gurfateh Pirzada portrays Bagha Jatin.
Who Should Watch It?
Fans of historical ensemble dramas interested in the revolutionary movements that developed alongside the better-known narratives of India’s independence struggle.
6. Vengeance
Genre: Political Drama
Language: Tamil
Release Date: September 11, 2026
Where to Watch: Aha Video
Rahul Ashok’s directorial debut arrives on streaming after its theatrical release earlier this year. The political drama follows Veni, played by Abarnathi, as she attempts to navigate — and ultimately challenge — the structures of political power around her. Ilavarasu, John Vijay, J. Livingston, Y. G. Mahendran and Kaali Venkat feature in the supporting cast.
Who Should Watch It?
Fans of Tamil political dramas centred on a determined protagonist confronting entrenched power structures.
7. Magudam
Genre: Action Drama
Language: Tamil
Release Date: September 11, 2026
Where to Watch: Prime Video
Vishal steps behind the camera for his directorial debut while also taking on a dual role. He plays Kirubakaran, a mild-mannered medical representative, as well as Don Lingappa, the ruthless gangster father from whom Kirubakaran has spent much of his life estranged.
When tragedy strikes Kirubakaran’s family, father and son are pulled back into each other’s worlds, bringing an unresolved personal conflict into the middle of a larger gangster drama. Anjali and Dushara Vijayan co-star. Following its August theatrical run, the film arrives on streaming in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
Who Should Watch It?
Fans of larger-than-life gangster dramas built around family conflict, dual roles and emotional stakes beneath the action.
8. Jungle Tales With Mowgli
Genre: Animated Kids’ Series
Release Date: September 12, 2026
Where to Watch: JioHotstar
For families looking for something lighter, Jungle Tales With Mowgli offers a familiar journey through the Indian jungle. Mowgli and his animal companions encounter everyday adventures and dangers, with Baloo and Bagheera never far away when help is needed.
Who Should Watch It?
Families looking for familiar, easy-going entertainment suitable for younger viewers.
What Should You Pick This Week?
