OTT Blockbuster Week: The last week of October 2025 has turned into a grand treat for entertainment lovers. This week, several exciting web series and films are set to hit digital platforms, promising audiences a thrilling mix of genres — from fantasy and horror to superhero drama. Three major titles are drawing special attention — ‘The Witcher: Season 4’ (Netflix), ‘M3GAN 2.0’ (JioCinema & Disney+ Hotstar), and ‘Loka Chapter 1: Chandra’ (JioHotstar).
The entertainment industry has been eagerly awaiting these releases, and as they begin streaming one after another, viewers can expect a theatre-like experience right at home.
The Witcher Season 4 (Netflix): New Faces, New Story, New Dangers
Netflix’s blockbuster dark fantasy series ‘The Witcher’ returns with its fourth season on 30 October 2025. The most notable change this time is the recasting of the lead role — Geralt of Rivia. After Henry Cavill’s exit, the character will now be portrayed by Liam Hemsworth. Fans have been buzzing with curiosity about this change, and all eyes are on how Liam takes on this iconic role.
The story picks up from the previous season, where Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri have gone their separate ways. Season 4 dives deeper into a world filled with powerful sorcerers, mysterious creatures, and political intrigue. Netflix will drop all episodes at once, allowing viewers to binge-watch the entire saga in one go.
Enhanced animation, superior visual effects, and an even darker tone are expected this season. ‘The Witcher 4’ promises not only an intense fantasy adventure but could also become one of Netflix’s most talked-about releases of the year.
M3GAN 2.0 (JioCinema & Disney+ Hotstar): A Terrifying Fusion of Tech and Fear
‘M3GAN 2.0’ made its explosive OTT debut on 27 October 2025 on JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar. It is the sequel to the popular 2022 horror film ‘M3GAN’, which masterfully blended artificial intelligence with spine-chilling horror.
The sequel takes the narrative to the next level — darker, sharper, and more intense. This time, M3GAN faces a new military-grade robot, far more advanced and dangerous than before. Retaining the tone of the original, the film amplifies both the horror and suspense elements, delivering an edge-of-the-seat experience.
Running for nearly two hours, the movie is streaming in both Hindi and English. M3GAN’s AI-driven personality evolves to become even smarter and more sinister, once again blurring the line between human and machine.
Given its gripping premise and connection to modern-day technology, ‘M3GAN 2.0’ is expected to rank among the most talked-about horror thrillers of 2025.
Loka Chapter 1: Chandra (JioHotstar): Malayalam Cinema’s Superhero Saga Goes Digital
Now, coming to one of the most anticipated Indian releases of the season — ‘Loka Chapter 1: Chandra’. The Malayalam superhero thriller is set to premiere on JioHotstar on 31 October 2025. When released in theatres, the film created a massive buzz with its powerful storytelling and stunning visuals.
The lead role is played by Kalyani Priyadarshan, portraying the character of Chandra. The story revolves around a dark psychological journey where Chandra, a young man, gets entangled in an organ trafficking gang and rises above his circumstances to become a reluctant hero.
With its grand cinematic scale, impressive background score, and top-notch VFX, ‘Loka: Chandra’ stands apart from most Indian superhero films. What makes it even more special is its multilingual release — streaming in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, Bengali, and Marathi — ensuring a nationwide reach.

Looking at this week’s OTT schedule, it’s clear that there’s something for everyone — fantasy, horror, drama, action, and thriller. Alongside the major releases from Netflix and JioHotstar, several other platforms are also rolling out exciting new shows, with the list continuing to grow.
