The Village OTT release date: When, where to watch Arya's horror series

Amazon Prime Video on Thursday unveiled the teaser of his upcoming Tamil web series, The Village, along with its premiere date. Starring Arya in the lead role, the series is helmed by Milind Rau, who is known for his horror series. 

The first season of the new Tamil series will premiere on the streaming platform on November 24. The spine-chilling first glimpse of The Village promises a horror series that Tamil web series fans have long awaited. 

Judging from the teaser, it seems the showrunners have explored the theme of the undead in the new series. We get glimpses of a zombie-like creature emerging from a blood-soaked tree. And the monster is very nimble, and fast and shows a deadly intent when attacking its victims. It can crawl up walls like spiders, swing from one branch to another like a skilled ape and seems to be driven by an insatiable thirst for human blood. 

While the promo doesn't reveal much about what's the nature of that monster and why it's haunting The Villiage, it manages to get our attention. It won't be wrong to say it's a novel attempt in Tamil television and if it's successful, it could pave the way for showrunners and filmmakers to explore such varied and niche themes across various genres. 

The Village marks Arya's debut in the OTT space. However, he is not a stranger to this genre. Last year, Arya starred in Captain, an action movie where his character unexpectedly found himself battling a monster deep within the forest.

Similarly, in The Village, Arya seems to be leading the fight against the relentless killing spree of the monstrous entity. The series also stars Ashwin Kkumar, Abishek Kumar, Pooja Ramachandran, Muthukumar and Pillai Divya among others.
