Despite the revival of theaters, the OTT platforms are still holding their positions! Netflix and other platforms have a lot of impressive catalogs of shows and films by A-list stars. The audience is still hungry for quality long-format content, and the streaming platforms have been successful in delivering it to them, along with some niche films also finding their homes here.
In December and January, we saw many shows end and some new ones begin. ‘The Crown’ finally bids adieu to the audience after eight seasons. As the awards season kicked off, many Oscar-nominated films started streaming, like ‘Maestro’ and ‘Anatomy of a Fall’. As we are ascending into February after the never-ending January, we have some interesting content coming our way.
