Now, you can watch latest seasons of shows like 'Hannibal', 'Orphan Black', 'NCIS: New Orleans', and 'CSI: Cyber' every Saturday and Sunday between 10 pm and 12 midnight in the 'Fresh from the US' slot.

Uday Sodhi, EVP and Digital Head, Sony Entertainment, commented, “What adds up to the success of the digital medium is that it serves up entertainment here and now. Fans of a series as absorbing and sumptuous as 'Hannibal' don't want to wait for the season premier and only a digital entertainment destination such as Sony Liv has the power to cater to their need for instant gratification. Therefore, in association with AXN India, we have come up with this initiative of taking Hannibal to the digital medium.”

He further said, “With Sony Liv and its video-on-demand service, viewers also have the advantage of losing themselves in the exciting world of the show through the carefully curated content from the past to the present. It obviates the need to download low-quality episodes from untrustworthy sources on the Internet or request friends to share their stored content.”
