‘Teen Wolf’ returns on AXN
MUMBAI: Get ready to howl, ‘Teen Wolf’ fans, because we’ve got a new breed of evil poised to strike and it’s safe to say it will have you counting down the days until the season four premiere on Friday, 27 June on AXN India.
It’s time to kill the anticipation of the mystic revulsion series of ‘Teen Wolf’ created with the nail biting finale last season. Referring to the tragic ending of season three and the anticipated triumphant return, season four of Teen Wolf is titled as “Can’t Go Back”.
As we head in to season four, the very dark nature of this canny, engaging, addicting show will lighten up but only a little. The premiere Season, The Dark Moon, shot outside of Beacon Hills, begins in Mexico reflecting the time in the lunar phase in which the moon is the least visible in the sky and it’s often thought of a time of reflection and grief.
This season, still healing from tragic losses, Scott (Tyler Posy), Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) & Lydia (Holland Roden) return to a new semester of school with more human worries than supernatural, while also trying to help their new friend, Malia (Shelly Henning), integrate back into society. But a surprising resurrection brings a new threat to Beacon Hills along with the emergence of another mysterious enemy known simply as The Benefactor.
The eye brow raising opening sequence, based in Mexico, will take the “Teen Wolf” gang to a new direction. The storyline notches up to a new supernatural level as the resilient teenagers now have extraordinary challenges to face. What’s more you ask? Well, Teen Wolf will be welcoming a new supernatural character and it’s said that this paranormal creature will huff and puff and blow Beacon Hills away with one giant roar.
What is this new entity added to the acclaimed series? Well, it’s a “werejaguar,” and it’s played be the one and only Jill Wagner.
Get set for an action packed series and emotional connect between the supernatural and humans.
Join the pack in their redefining phase with the new Alpha on 27 June at 11 PM only on AXN India

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.
