The popular Indian spy thriller series 24, starring Anil Kapoor, is set to make its return for digital audiences with an upcoming OTT release. Originally aired on television, the show is now being reintroduced to viewers through streaming, offering both nostalgia for long-time fans and accessibility for a new generation.
The series will begin streaming on JioHotstar from April 24, 2026. Both seasons of the show will be made available, with episodes released in batches rather than all at once. As per the rollout plan, eight episodes will drop every Friday, creating a staggered viewing experience instead of a single binge-watch release.
Ahead of the announcement, Anil Kapoor built anticipation through cryptic social media posts, hinting at the show’s return. His messages, including phrases like “You have 24 hours” and “Against the clock, against all odds", generated buzz among fans and signalled the comeback of the high-stakes drama that defined the series.

'24' follows the story of Jai Singh Rathod, an Anti-Terrorist Unit agent racing against time to prevent a major national threat within a single day. Each episode represents one hour of real-time events, giving the series its signature fast-paced and immersive storytelling format. The show was originally broadcast in 2013, followed by a second season in 2016.
The series is the official Hindi adaptation of the internationally acclaimed American show 24. The rights were acquired by Anil Kapoor’s production house, making it one of the most ambitious television projects in India at the time. With its OTT release, the show is expected to reach a wider audience and reinforce its legacy as a pioneering action-thriller in Indian entertainment.
