HOTSTAR SPECIALS ‘LBW – LOVE BEYOND WICKET’, STARRING VIKRANTH, TO LAUNCH ON JIOHOTSTAR ON JANUARY 1, 2026
JioHotstar releases the launch promo for the new Tamil series ‘LBW – Love Beyond Wicket’ across its social media platforms.
Following the success of long-format web series such as Heartbeat, Police Police, and Office, JioHotstar now brings audiences a compelling new cricket-based drama with Hotstar Specials ‘LBW – Love Beyond Wicket’, headlined by Vikranth in his OTT debut. Produced by AteleFactory, the makers behind the blockbuster series Heartbeat, LBW is set to premiere on January 1, 2026, marking the first Tamil original series to release from the platform’s slate announced at the JioHotstar South Unbound event.
From the newly released launch promo, LBW – Love Beyond Wicket unfolds the story of Rangan, a once-promising cricketer whose career never took flight. Now a reluctant coach, Rangan is tasked with training an underdog team in a struggling cricket academy, determined to revive its lost legacy. Set against the backdrop of grassroots cricket, the series blends sport, emotion, ambition, and redemption, capturing what it truly means to fight for a second chance—both on and off the field.
Speaking about his association with the series, Vikranth Santhosh shared,
“This is my first association with JioHotstar, and to make my OTT debut with a series rooted in cricket makes it even more special. Cricket has always been very close to my heart, and LBW allowed me to explore that connection in a deeply emotional way. I’m truly excited for audiences to experience this journey.”
Written by Aruna Rakhee and directed by Ganesh Karthikeyan, the series features a strong ensemble cast including Sindhu Shyam, Niyathi, Harish, Ayaz Khan, Akshatha, Naveen, Nikhil Nair, and Viswa Mithran, among others. With its grounded storytelling and relatable characters, LBW – Love Beyond Wicket promises to be a heartfelt sports drama that resonates with viewers across generations.
