SonyLIV is preparing to add a new Malayalam thriller to its catalogue. Titled ‘Eyes’, the series will make its streaming debut on October 9, 2026. The platform is also taking the show beyond its original linguistic market. Viewers will be able to watch it in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada when it arrives on the service.
‘Eyes’ on Sony LIV: A Gripping Story of Love, Obsession and Control
‘Watch, Defend, Protect’ is the phrase used to introduce ‘Eyes’, a series built around the darker side of personal relationships. Its story examines how affection can become possessiveness and how fear can quietly enter a relationship without being noticed at first. A feeling that appears to be simple concern may turn into suspicion, and suspicion may eventually become a demand for control.
The series follows this gradual change rather than treating domination as something that appears without warning. Its subject matter is intended for mature audiences, and the show has consequently received an A (Adult Only) censor rating.
Meet the Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team Behind ‘Eyes’
The cast of ‘Eyes’ includes several familiar names from Malayalam cinema. Kani Kusruti, Nikhila Vimal, Shruti Ramachandran, Saniya Iyappan, and Dev Mohan appear in the series. Manu Ashokan takes charge of the direction.
His earlier work has often dealt with personal conflict and strong emotions. Bobby and Sanjay have written the series, while Anjana Nayar provides the original story on which it is based.
How ‘Eyes’ Fits Into Sony LIV’s Growing Malayalam OTT Lineup
Sony LIV has been adding more Malayalam stories to its catalogue, and ‘Eyes’ extends that line-up. The platform has already released shows such as ‘Jai Mahendran’. Rahul Riji Nair wrote that series, with Saiju Kurup in the lead role. ‘Eyes’ gives Sony LIV another Malayalam production as the service continues to build its regional slate.
Conclusion
‘Eyes’ is poised to deliver a haunting look at love, obsession and control on Sony LIV as its October 9 premiere nears. The inclusion of Kani Kusruti, Nikhila Vimal, Shruti Ramachandran, Saniya Iyappan and Dev Mohan brings in more mystery, and Manu Ashokan’s direction will lend the film its emotional quotient.
Available in five languages, the series also has the potential to reach audiences well beyond Malayalam-speaking viewers. If you’re into your dramas without the romance and your thrillers with a good amount of psychological tension, ‘Eyes’ might be worth the watchlist.
