The latest OTT calendar brings together literary romance, political action, supernatural mysteries, true crime, family drama and reality television across major streaming platforms. From Emerald Fennell’s
interpretation of Wuthering Heights and the emotionally rooted Telugu drama Maa Inti Bangaaram to fantasy K-dramas, mafia sagas and documentary storytelling, viewers have a wide range of options to explore between July 13 and July 18.
Here is the complete list of releases arriving this week.
Wuthering Heights – July 13 (JioHotstar)
Emerald Fennell reimagines Emily Brontë’s classic novel with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi at the centre of its tempestuous romance. Set amid the rigid class divisions and windswept estates of 18th-century England, the film follows Heathcliff’s consuming love for Catherine Earnshaw, a woman born into privilege whose choices leave both their lives permanently scarred.
Rather than presenting love as a source of comfort, the story treats it as a volatile force shaped by pride, social ambition, rejection and revenge. The adaptation explores how emotional cruelty and inherited resentment ripple across generations, turning an intense childhood bond into one of literature’s most enduring tragedies.
Maa Inti Bangaaram – July 17 (JioHotstar)
This Telugu family drama centres on the relationships that hold a household together when private disappointments and difficult decisions begin pulling its members apart. Built around love, sacrifice and emotional responsibility, Maa Inti Bangaaram follows a family confronting misunderstandings, personal struggles and choices that test their loyalty to one another.
The film leans into the everyday emotional language of domestic life rather than grand spectacle. It examines how affection is often expressed through compromise, unspoken concern and the willingness to stand beside loved ones during their most vulnerable moments. It will also stream in a Tamil-dubbed version.
Pavithram Season 2 – July 13 (JioHotstar)
The Malayalam family drama returns to continue Vedha and Vikram’s journey through marriage, parenthood and the pressures of building a stable home together. Directed by Sunil Kariattukara, the new season brings back Sreekanth Sasikumar and Surabhi Santosh as the couple at the heart of the story.
Their relationship is tested by misunderstandings, changing responsibilities and unexpected complications that force them to reassess trust and communication. While rooted in domestic conflict, the series also explores the emotional labour required to sustain a family when love alone cannot immediately solve every problem.
The East Palace – July 17 (Netflix)
This dark fantasy Korean drama stars Nam Joo-hyuk as Gu-cheon, a mysterious man capable of moving through the spirit world, and Roh Yoon-seo as Saeng-gang, a court lady drawn into a dangerous royal mystery.
Acting on the king’s orders, the two enter the East Palace to investigate supernatural disturbances and secrets hidden within its walls. As spirits, political intrigue and buried histories begin converging, the mission becomes far more dangerous than either anticipated. The series combines palace drama with occult mythology, using the royal residence as both a political labyrinth and a gateway to the dead.
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come – July 16 (JioHotstar)
Samara Weaving returns as Grace in the sequel to the darkly comic horror film. After surviving the Le Domas family’s murderous ritual, Grace finds herself under suspicion from the authorities, who believe she may have been responsible for the entire family’s deaths.
Her nightmare deepens when she learns that the Le Domas clan was only one part of a larger network of wealthy families bound by similarly lethal traditions. Alongside her estranged sister Faith, played by Kathryn Newton, Grace is forced into another savage game of hide-and-seek where privilege, bloodlines and survival collide.

Heartstopper Forever – July 17 (Netflix)
