Epic On, the Indian OTT platform run by IN10 Media Network, is moving into original productions and has unveiled details of its first slate of six shows.

The new titles span genres from dramas to thrillers and include Tatlubaaz, a “pulp-fiction show”, produced by 9pm Films and starring Dheeraj Dhoopar, Nargis Fakhri, and Divya Agarwal, which is set in Varanasi and follows the story of a notorious con man.

Plot ½ is a dramedy, produced by Rusk Media, and tells the light-hearted story of five young and quirky, but bickering cousins living in old Delhi, who come together to save their home. Nishant Malkhani and Ankit Bhatia star.

Hailing from Folklore Film Studios, #Blue Tick (aur trolls) is a drama, starring Parul Gulati and Siddharth Nigam and telling the story of an influencer’s rise and fall.

Maya Deluxe is a noir thriller, produced by Lockdown Shorts Studio, following a dysfunctional suburban middle-class couple living in Mumbai, whose lives are shattered when a mysterious murder takes place in their hotel.

Meanwhile, Chill is a modern-day slice-of-life drama, produced by Mukesh Chhabra Films, about corporate reinvention, with the protagonists’ coming-of-age compelling them to embrace love as their most powerful asset.

All six shows will be available on the Epic On app and aggregator platforms like Tata Play, Airtel X-Stream, DishTV Watcho, Jio Fibre and BSNL.
