Pro Tip for Fans
The majority of OTT apps, such as Jiohotstar , enable you to add reminders or notifications to watchlists — providing automatic reminders when a new episode releases. For sports or popular shows, platforms will usually refresh the “Coming Soon” page hours before they air, so enthusiasts can get a head start on the release.
