Priyamani is set to headline Good Wife, a Tamil legal drama premiering on JioHotstar on July 4, 2025. Directed by veteran actress-turned-filmmaker Revathy, the series is a remake of the popular American show of the same name.
At its core, Good Wife tells the story of a woman navigating public humiliation after her husband is caught in a scandal. Forced back into her legal career, she must juggle personal pain with professional pressure.

She plays a layered character—betrayed wife, mother, and lawyer—with emotional depth and strength. This could become a defining moment in her OTT journey.
Revathy’s direction adds weight to the project. Known for her emotionally rich storytelling (Mitr, My Friend and Phir Milenge), her OTT debut comes with high expectations.

If she can strike a balance between courtroom drama and personal emotion, Good Wife could rise above the usual legal serial format.
However, challenges remain. Comparisons with the American original are inevitable. Also, the legal drama genre is already crowded on OTT. Success will depend on strong writing, authenticity, and how well the show localizes its themes.
With Aari Arujunan and Sampath Raj in pivotal roles, Good Wife has plenty of dramatic potential. It will stream in seven languages—Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, Bengali, and Marathi—only on JioHotstar.
