discovery+ India Unveils Originals Lineup

discovery+ India has revealed its lineup of original content, which includes the return of Star vs Food and a new local version of the U.S. format Say Yes to the Dress.

Season two of Star vs Food, produced by Endemol Shine India in collaboration with Korea Tourism, features such stars as Ananya Panday, Anil Kapoor, Nora Fatehi and Badshah. Say Yes to the Dress India will give Indian brides the opportunity to search for their perfect wedding dress. Both series are due to launch on the platform in the coming months.

Available to watch from August 4, the new original series Money Mafia, produced by Chandra Talkies, takes an in-depth look at some of the country’s biggest financial scams—from the perspective of both the victims and the perpetrators. Later in August, audiences will see Sara Ali Khan in Mission Frontline, produced by Banijay Asia. The series will follow as she performs extreme physical training routines alongside the Veerangana Force, India’s first female commando unit to tackle rising crime against women in the state.

discovery+ India originals will also air on Discovery platforms across the Asia Pacific over the coming months.

Megha Tata, managing director for South Asia at Discovery, Inc., said: “Our upcoming content slate demonstrates our constant determination of bringing original, full of life, bold and unexpected stories to our audience. By on-boarding personalities from different walks of life like sports, Bollywood, music and comedy, among others, we have made a conscious effort at expanding our reach and engaging with a new set of audiences. We aim at using our platform as a medium to connect people through the art of storytelling, and the lineup ranging from documentary to reality TV has something for every generation to enjoy, further strengthening our family, facts and fun premise.”

On Star vs Food, Kapoor said: “Despite my undeniable love for food, it is no secret that my expertise lies in eating and not cooking. Being blessed with excellent culinary artists in my home and family, I have never had to enter the kitchen to prepare a meal for myself. Star vs Food season two set me up against a challenge of cooking a scrumptious meal for my loved ones, and I must say, this was a much more daunting task than acting. Undoubtedly, it has been an exhilarating experience, and I can’t wait to make my family proud with this new notch in my belt.”
