Lust Stories 3 OTT Release
Lust Stories 3 is set to stream on Netflix in 2026, with the OTT release expected around mid-2026, though an exact date has not been announced yet. @NetflixIndia shared on X that Lust Stories 3 is coming soon to Netflix, returning with four new directors, four new stories, and a bold, award-winning anthology format.
The new chapter of the anthology has already wrapped shooting and is currently in post-production, which usually means the platform starts teasing first looks, posters, and short promos in the months leading up to release.
For fans who discovered the earlier parts during late-night scrolling sessions, this third round feels like a natural continuation: same bold energy, new set of complications.
There is also a bit of quiet excitement in industry circles because this makes Lust Stories the first Indian Netflix anthology to officially reach a third season, which says a lot about how strongly it performs with urban streaming audiences.
Many people discovered the first film almost by accident and then ended up discussing specific segments in group chats for days, so expectations from Lust Stories 3 are naturally higher this time.
Where to Watch Lust Stories?
Lust Stories 3 will be available exclusively on Netflix, just like Lust Stories (2018) and Lust Stories 2 (2023). There is no indication of a theatrical run; this one is very much designed as a straight-to-OTT anthology for the streaming audience.
For anyone planning a mini binge before the third part lands, both earlier installments are already streaming on Netflix, making it easy to revisit favorite stories or catch up on segments that sparked all those social media debates when they first dropped.
Many viewers like to watch one short film at a time instead of finishing everything in a single sitting, because the themes can be emotionally heavy, messy, or a bit too real in places.
Lust Stories Cast
Lust Stories 3 brings back a mix of familiar and fresh faces, with Radhika Apte and Aditi Rao Hydari among the standout names leading the cast. Reports also mention Ali Fazal, Radhika Madan, Gurfateh Pirzada, newcomer Sana Thampi and others appearing across the different shorts.
On the directing side, the anthology is led by some seriously heavy-hitter filmmakers: Vikramaditya Motwane, Shakun Batra, Kiran Rao and Vishal Bhardwaj each helm a segment.
Producers Ronnie Screwvala (RSVP Movies) and Ashi Dua (Flying Unicorn Entertainment) are backing the project again, which keeps the franchise anchored to the same creative ecosystem that shaped its earlier tone.
A lot of viewers still remember specific shots or awkward silences from previous seasons more than the plots, and with this line-up, expectations are that Lust Stories 3 will lean even more into uncomfortable but relatable performances rather than just glossy drama.
About Lust Stories
Lust Stories as a franchise is an Indian anthology series on Netflix that uses four standalone short films in each installment to explore desire, intimacy, and relationships in contemporary India. The first part was released in 2018, the second in 2023, and the upcoming Lust Stories 3 will continue that format with new characters and situations instead of direct sequels.
What sets the series apart is not just the boldness but the way it often zooms in on small, slightly embarrassing truths about how people talk (or don’t talk) about sex, power, and emotional needs.
Many fans still trade recommendations like, “Watch that one particular story first, the one that left everyone weirdly quiet at the end,” which is exactly the kind of reaction a project like Lust Stories seems to aim for.
