Netflix has announced the digital streaming premiere of ‘Epic-First Semester’, the romantic drama produced by Naga Vamsi, on 9 October 2026. The film, directed by Aditya Hasan, stars Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya. It will stream in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.

The film, set in London, was released in theatres on 11 September 2026 and was a box-office disappointment. 123telugu.com notes it was an underwhelming outing, while deccanchronicle.com reports the poor theatrical performance has ended the possibility of a sequel, ‘Epic-Final Semester’.
Both sources deliver neutral, wire-style coverage of the OTT premiere date, differing only in detail: 123telugu.com describes the theatrical run as ‘underwhelming’, while deccanchronicle.com explicitly states the film was a ‘flop’ and that the poor result ends the planned sequel. Neither outlet frames the story around government policy or political actors, so the uniform stance is neutral reportage. The key takeaway for readers is the streaming date of 9 October 2026, when the film becomes available across five languages on Netflix.
