Star World & Star World HD to premiere the fourth and final season of ‘Revenge’
MUMBAI: Star World is all geared up to premiere the fourth and final season of the immensely popular drama series Revenge on 1 December 2015 at 11 pm.
Season 3 had ended with Victoria discovering the truth about Emily and she planned revenge against her for Pascal’s death. Daniel was framed for the death of a young girl by Margaux’s brother, who wished to take over Daniel’s position. Charlotte recognized that Jack was involved in her kidnapping and got the authorities to arrest him. Conrad was denied bail and returned to jail, but was released due to the benevolence of a mysterious benefactor. However, on his apparent road to freedom, his escape ride turned out to be none other than David Clarke, who promptly confronted a stunned Conrad and killed him. Aiden was killed when he was unwittingly lured into a trap set by Victoria. Angered, Emily retaliated by knocking out Victoria and having her committed to a mental health facility, fully completing her revenge.
Season 4 focuses on the revelation that David Clarke is alive. The continued feud between Emily and Victoria played by Emily VanCamp and Madeleine Stowe respectively gets sharper here. Victoria would finally get to know Emily’s true identity and would seek her own revenge. As David returns to the Hamptons, the two women would fight to position him against the other.

ZEE5 UK partners Narrative Entertainment to add UK channels
Six FAST channels added as platform sharpens hybrid play in Britain
LONDON: ZEE5 UK struck a first-of-its-kind deal with Narrative Entertainment, bringing mainstream UK television channels onto an Indian streaming platform as it pushes to deepen its footprint in a crowded, mature market.
The partnership adds six of Narrative’s FAST channels to the service, including Great! Movies, Great! Romance, Great! Mystery and kids brands POP, Tiny Pop and POP UP, widening ZEE5 UK’s appeal across genres and age groups.
The move reflects a clear shift in strategy. ZEE5 UK is betting on a hybrid model that blends on-demand content with curated, always-on channels to drive discovery and increase time spent on the platform.
“This partnership represents a meaningful evolution in how we serve audiences in mature markets like the UK, where viewers are defined by habits, convenience and choice rather than geography or language alone,” said Parul Goel, territory head, Europe, Zee Entertainment. “By bringing trusted mainstream UK channels together with our premium originals, movies and kids’ content, we are building a more consumer-centric platform that simplifies viewing while increasing depth and relevance.”
Fateha Begum, commercial director, Narrative Entertainment, said the tie-up would fuel growth for both sides. “Our portfolio of quality programming, with such wide and enduring appeal, is a perfect complement to ZEE5 UK. This is a strong partnership that will support growth for both parties, and we share Zee Entertainment’s vision of an increasingly partnership-led future for the industry.”
ZEE5’s global library spans over 4,000 films and more than 500 originals, with over 130 new titles added annually. The addition of Narrative’s channels strengthens its kids offering and introduces genre-led linear experiences alongside its on-demand catalogue.
The deal also gives Narrative access to ZEE5 UK’s fast-growing user base, extending reach without diluting brand identity, while reinforcing ZEE5 UK’s network of more than 40 live channels.
As streaming wars intensify, ZEE5 UK is widening its playbook, blending content, convenience and partnerships in a bid to win screen time in one of the world’s toughest markets.
