give Star India and Hotstar access to series like ‘Game of
Thrones’, ‘True Detective’, ‘Silicon Valley’, ‘Veep’ and
‘Leftovers’.

programming for Indian viewers. Star will become the

Once again resetting the benchmark for quality and depth

“Hotstar, is a leading destination for our growing family of
content viewers. We have constantly aspired to offer high
quality content across genres and languages, and HBO
Originals with its outstanding program bouquet, I am sure
will be yet another quantum leap in delighting and
enthralling our viewers,” Shankar added.
HBO Asia CEO Jonathan Spink said, “HBO is delighted to
enter this new chapter in India with Star. Through the first
release of our shows on Hotstar, Indian audiences will
now have unprecedented flexibility in how they consume

the part of the deal.

Brothers’, ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ will
