Steven Soderbergh's 'Black Bag' gets OTT release date, set to stream on this platform
Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller Black Bag has finally got an OTT release date for the viewers who missed its theatrical experience. Black Bag is set to stream exclusively on Peacock on May 2, reported Deadline.
It is written by David Koepp and features Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Rege-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Naomie Harris, Pierce Brosnan, and Tom Burke in lead roles. The movie Black Bag follows the story of intelligence agents George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender) and his beloved wife Kathryn (Cate Blanchett).
When Kathryn is suspected of betraying the nation, George faces the ultimate test - loyalty to his marriage or his country. The film was originally released in theatres on March 14. Despite huge names attached to the film, the movie underperformed at the global box office. The film's lacklustre box office draw has Soderbergh concerned about the future of cinema.
Soderbergh believes that the inability of mid-level budget, star-driven movies to attract audiences over 25 is a negative trend for the industry. "If a mid-level budget, star-driven movie can't seem to get people over the age of 25 years old to come out to theatres -- if that's truly a dead zone -- then that's not a good thing for movies," he said in an interview, as quoted by Deadline.

The director worries that this trend will limit opportunities for filmmakers who want to make movies for grown-ups. "What's gonna happen to the person behind me who wants to make this kind of film?" he asked. Soderbergh even suggested that some of his best-known films, like Erin Brockovich and Traffic, might not get made today. Soderbergh is currently editing his upcoming film, The Christophers, a black comedy starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel.

Below Deck Season 12 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch, cast, plot & everything you must know about show
Below Deck Season 12 OTT Release Date: If you love reality TV that blends luxury, travel, drama, and real working-class hustle, Below Deck is your next big binge. And guess what? Season 12 of Below Deck drops on JioHotstar in India from June 3, 2025. Here's everything you need to know about the show. What is Below Deck? Below Deck is a reality TV series from the US that's been airing since 2013. Think of it as Bigg Boss meets Million Dollar Yachts, but the drama is real, not scripted. It follows the lives of the crew members who work and live on board luxurious superyachts during charter season. They cater to demanding guests, all while managing internal tensions, love triangles, high-pressure jobs, and tight spaces, all at sea. Where does Season 12 take place? Below Deck Season 12 is set in the Caribbean, specifically hopping between St. Maarten, Anguilla, and St. Barths. Globally, it airs on Bravo on June 2, and streams on Peacock the next day. But for Indian viewers, JioHotstar is your go-to. Who's in Below Deck Season 12? Here's the cast and crew onboard the mega yacht St. David this season: Returning Crew: Captain Kerry Titheradge – the no-nonsense leader steering the ship. Fraser Olender – Chief Steward, known for keeping the interior team sharp and classy. Kyle Stillie – A fan-favourite deckhand, always in the middle of fun and fights. New Crew Members: Chef Anthony Snowden – A new British chef with serious culinary chops (and a calm, faith-based demeanour). Bosun Caio Poltronieri – Brazilian boss of the deck crew. Deckhands: Jess Theron (South Africa) Damo Yorg (Australia) Stews: Barbara Kulaif (Brazil) Rainbeau de Roos (raised across multiple continents) Solène Favreau (Parisian model and ex-Love Island France contestant) Basically, it's a pressure cooker. These crew members work 16-hour days serving guests who treat the yacht like their personal kingdom, and that stress boils over in every episode. Excited to stream it? Drop your thoughts @indiatimes.
