Lionsgate Play brings ‘Snakes 5’, ‘A Beautiful Obsession’ on August 21

MUMBAI: Lions, snakes and football obsession are sharing the streaming spotlight this week.

Lionsgate Play is set to premiere two titles on August 21, with the latest instalment of the Snakes franchise, Snakes 5, bringing creature-feature action, while A Beautiful Obsession offers a behind-the-scenes look at Pep Guardiola’s final chapter at Manchester City.

Releasing on August 21, Snakes 5 continues the franchise’s survival-driven adventure as its snake-hunting team returns for another dangerous mission.

The film promises a mix of suspense, action and unexpected twists, with the characters facing encounters where the stakes remain high and danger can strike at any moment.

The latest chapter builds on the franchise’s creature-feature appeal, combining fast-paced set pieces with survival drama as the hunt takes a fresh turn.

Also premiering on August 21, A Beautiful Obsession turns the camera towards one of football’s most closely followed managers, Pep Guardiola.

The series provides a behind-the-scenes look at Guardiola’s final chapter at Manchester City, exploring his leadership, football philosophy and pursuit of excellence as he navigates the pressures and defining moments of his final seasons at the club.

Directed by Academy and BAFTA Award-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald, the series aims to go beyond Guardiola’s public persona, offering viewers a closer look at the man behind one of football’s most successful managerial careers.

With one title bringing survival thrills and the other delving into the mind of an elite football manager, Lionsgate Play’s August 21 line-up offers viewers two very different kinds of obsession.
