Lust Stories 3 Trailer Out: Netflix Anthology Explores Love, Desire and Marriage

Netflix has released the trailer for Lust Stories 3, the latest instalment in its popular anthology franchise exploring love, desire, intimacy and complicated relationships. The new chapter brings together four filmmakers, with each presenting a different perspective on attraction, marriage and human relationships.

Lust Stories 3 is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 18, 2026.

The anthology features stories directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra and Vishal Bhardwaj. The cast includes Konkona Sen Sharma, Radhika Apte, Aditi Rao Hydari, Radhika Madan, Vijay Varma and Abhishek Banerjee.

The newly released Lust Stories 3 trailer offers a glimpse into four separate narratives that explore relationships through humour, awkward conversations, emotional tension and unexpected situations.

Lust Stories 3 trailer explores four different relationships

The trailer introduces four stories, each examining love and desire from a different social and personal perspective.

Several scenes focus on uncomfortable conversations and misunderstandings surrounding attraction and intimacy. One exchange compares women and desire to candles rather than light bulbs, suggesting that emotions and attraction cannot simply be switched on and off.

Another storyline appears to explore the way desire and intimacy are viewed through art, language and personal expression. Aditi Rao Hydari's character discusses the difference between vulgarity and artistic intention, adding another layer to the anthology's exploration of relationships.

The trailer balances these conversations with humour, making room for awkward encounters and cultural misunderstandings alongside more emotionally complex moments.

Four filmmakers bring different perspectives to Lust Stories 3

One of the biggest highlights of Lust Stories 3 is the combination of four distinct filmmakers.

Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra and Vishal Bhardwaj each bring their own storytelling style to the anthology. Their individual approaches are expected to give the four stories different tones while remaining connected by the broader themes of love, marriage, attraction and desire.

The trailer suggests that the new instalment will move between humour, tension and emotional complexity as the characters navigate personal relationships and unexpected situations.
