For those unfamiliar, The Green Knight, starring Dev Patel, is written and directed by David Lowery. The film was released in July 2021 and received praise from critics and audiences alike. Indian fans have been eagerly awaiting its return to streaming, and it seems the wait is finally over. The movie is set to release on Lionsgate Play, and below is everything you need to know about it.
Lionsgate Play has been releasing some of the most intriguing films over the past two months.

The Green Knight now joins this impressive list and is set to stream on the platform soon.
The Green Knight has been added to the upcoming releases on Lionsgate Play and will be available on the streamer any day now. Since the August calendar is already full, the Dev Patel starrer is likely to arrive in September. We will update you with the exact date as soon as the streamer announces it. You can also watch the film with your OTTplay Premium subscription once it’s available on the platform.
Based on the anonymously written 14th-century poem titled Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, Dev Patel stars as Gawain. Speaking about his role, he said, "Gawain is sort of this spoiled brat, and I told David before I signed on that if we're going to go on this extraordinary journey with him, amid sparse dialogue and many instances of questionable behavior, there has to be something that makes you root for him through this adversity. This young man sets out across harsh terrain, and it's a trial by nature in so many ways. He comes across life and all its ferocity—scavengers, a damsel in distress, a beautiful woman who tempts him—and you realize how naive he is as a young man, despite or perhaps because of his privileged origins."
The Green Knight also features Alicia Vikander and Joel Edgerton, among others. Stay tuned to OTTplay for more information on this and everything else from the world of streaming and films.
