New OTT Releases This Week: Dorothy, The Paradise and Nobody Wants This Season 3
Streaming platforms are preparing to release a range of films and web series during the week of October 19 to 23, 2026. The upcoming lineup includes Tamil and Telugu films, a returning romantic comedy series, and other titles across major streaming services. Among the notable releases are Karthik Subbaraj’s Dorothy, Nani’s The Paradise and the third season of Netflix’s Nobody Wants This.
Dorothy to Premiere on Netflix
Tamil film Dorothy, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, is scheduled to arrive on Netflix on October 23. The film features Sananth, Rishikanth and Keerthy Suresh in key roles, alongside Muthukumar, Ramachandran Durairaj, Jeeva Subramanian, Gajaraj and Soundararaja.
The story follows two friends, Karthi and Subbu, whose lives and perspectives change after they encounter a woman. The film explores friendship and personal transformation against a social setting shaped by caste divisions, violence and rigid expectations.
Dorothy opened in theatres on September 25, 2026, following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Karthik Subbaraj developed the screenplay from a story written with Saravanan Chandran. The film’s music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja.
The Netflix listing has indicated an October 23 streaming date. Viewers should check the platform for confirmation of availability in their region.
The Paradise Arrives on Netflix
Another major release this week is The Paradise, a Telugu action drama directed by Srikanth Odela. The film is scheduled to stream on Netflix from October 22.
The movie stars Nani in the lead role, with Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Raghav Juyal and Sonali Kulkarni among the cast. Set in 1980s Secunderabad, the story centres on a marginalised community confronting discrimination and oppression. Nani plays Jadal, who challenges the power structures affecting the lives of people in his community.
The film combines action and drama with themes of social inequality, resistance and the struggle for dignity. Srikanth Odela has written and directed the project, while Anirudh Ravichander composed the music.
The film’s reported Netflix release date is October 22, offering audiences an opportunity to watch the Telugu production from home. Reports indicate that it will be available in multiple language versions, including Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam. Viewers should confirm the available audio and subtitle options on Netflix.
Nobody Wants This Returns for Season 3
Netflix’s romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This is also set to return on October 22 with its third season. Kristen Bell reprises her role as Joanne, while Adam Brody returns as Noah.
The series follows the relationship between Joanne, a podcast host, and Noah, a rabbi, as they navigate differences in their backgrounds, beliefs, families and personal expectations. Their relationship provides the central storyline, while the show also explores the pressures that come with balancing romance and family life.
Season 3 is expected to continue the couple’s story and develop the lives of supporting characters, including Joanne’s sister Morgan and Noah’s brother Sasha. The new season is planned to feature 10 episodes, according to Netflix’s announcement.
The series has attracted attention for its mix of relationship comedy and discussions about faith, identity and family expectations. The upcoming season continues that approach while bringing the central couple back for another chapter.
What Viewers Can Expect This Week
The releases offer a mix of genres for streaming audiences. Dorothy brings a Tamil drama centred on friendship and social realities, while The Paradise combines action with a story about marginalisation and resistance. Nobody Wants This provides a lighter romantic comedy option for viewers interested in relationship-focused storytelling.
The three titles are scheduled to arrive on Netflix on October 22 and 23, making the platform a key destination for these releases during the week. Release dates and catalogue availability can sometimes differ by region, and some details may be updated by streaming services.
Audiences planning their watchlists should check the official Netflix listings for the latest information on release timing, language options and episode availability. The dates above reflect published reports and platform information available at the time of writing.
With new South Indian films and a returning international series on the schedule, the week offers a varied selection for viewers looking for drama, action and romantic comedy on OTT platforms.
