The final Friday of August 2026 brings a diverse selection of movies and web series to leading OTT platforms in India and internationally. On August 28, several new titles are scheduled to become available across Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, JioHotstar, SonyLIV, ZEE5 and Apple TV.

The week's lineup covers multiple genres, including action, crime, romance, mystery, psychological thriller, comedy and drama. With both new productions and returning seasons arriving on the same day, audiences have a broad choice for weekend viewing.

One of the most anticipated releases is Alpha, which stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in a female-led action and espionage story. The film is part of the YRF Spy Universe and also features Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor in important roles. The story focuses on two agents who are drawn into a dangerous mission where survival depends on their skills and ability to work together. Alpha is scheduled to stream on Netflix from August 28. The OTT release has attracted attention because of its large-scale action and its position within the established spy franchise.

Netflix also adds several other titles to its August 28 lineup. All the Truth in My Lies follows two roommates who join a bachelorette road trip with their friends. What begins as a celebration gradually becomes complicated as old emotions, secrets and unresolved issues emerge. The film is based on a novel by Elísabet Benavent.

Another major Netflix release is The Whisper Man, a crime thriller based on Alex North's bestselling novel. The story centres on a widowed crime writer whose eight-year-old son disappears. He seeks help from his estranged father, a retired detective who has a connection to an earlier serial-killer investigation. Robert De Niro, Adam Scott and Michelle Monaghan lead the cast. Netflix has officially confirmed August 28 as the release date.

Mousetrap is another Netflix title arriving on the same day. The Korean mystery thriller follows a novelist whose identity begins to unravel after a mysterious figure known as The Rat enters his life. The story draws on a Korean folktale involving a rat that can take the form of a person after consuming clipped fingernails. Netflix has confirmed the series for an August 28 premiere.

Graveyard Season 3 is also part of the Netflix lineup. The latest season continues the investigations of Chief Inspector Önem Özülkü and the Istanbul Special Crimes Unit as they encounter another disturbing case.

On Prime Video, Babita Singh Reporting is among the notable releases. The investigative thriller follows suspended police officer Babita Singh as she becomes involved in the investigation into the murder of a childhood friend. Her return to investigative work leads her into a complicated case involving hidden secrets and personal challenges. The title is scheduled to stream from August 28.

Prime Video is also releasing Baredda, a true-crime drama based on the case of Argentine dentist Ricardo Barreda, as well as the third season of Betty La Fea, The Story Continues. The latter brings back Ana María Orozco as Betty and continues the character's personal and professional journey.

SonyLIV adds Anbe Diana to the weekend schedule. The Tamil romantic comedy stars Pari Elavazhagan and Ramya Ranganathan. The story follows an athletics coach and his relationship with his neighbour Diana. Their romance faces challenges arising from family expectations, cultural differences and neighbourhood dynamics. The film is scheduled for OTT streaming on August 28.

JioHotstar also has new content for viewers. Adults Season 2 continues the coming-of-age story of its central characters as they navigate relationships, friendship and the complications of early adulthood. Part-Timers is another release on the platform, presenting a slice-of-life comedy centred on two roommates whose plans for a startup create new challenges in their personal lives.
