Mirzapur – Season 2
Release date: Early-2023
Mirzapur is among the first Indian Hindi series to receive critical acclaim worldwide. This action crime thriller series takes you to the very roots of dirty politics, power hunger, and the Game of Thrones in rural India.
Akhandanand Tripathy, a.k.a. Kaleen Bhaiya, runs a carpet business, which is a cover for his business of producing guns. He’s a cunning, power-hungry man and the uncrowned king of Mirzapur. His son is an irresponsible, unworthy, yet overeager heir who wants nothing more than to inherit his father’s business and power.
Due to an unprecedented incident at a wedding procession, he crosses paths with Ramakant Pandit, a respected lawyer, and his two sons, Guddu and Bablu. Thus started a game of greed, power, and ambition, which is bound to create chaos in the lawless city of Mirzapur.
Hunters – Season 2
Release date: January 13th, 2023
If you want an intense watch to start the new year on the right foot, stream seasons 1 and 2 of Hunters. This crime drama thriller will give you the chills while you simultaneously fawn over Logan Lerman as Jonah Heidelbaum, the lead character.
The characters draw motivation from several Nazi hunter groups throughout the years but do not accurately represent any of them. In New York City, 1977, a Nazi hunters’ band found out several escaped Nazi officers were planning a Fourth Reich in New York City. They do everything they can to stop them, hence the moral dilemma of being bad to fight evil.
There’s a parallel plot alongside the hunters featuring the discovery of Operation Paperclip, an operation run by the U.S. Government to relocate German scientists to the States. Some of these scientists are also Nazis, so you can guess where the problem lies.
Shotgun Wedding
Release date: January 27th, 2023

Carnival Row – Season 2
Release date: February 17th, 2023
Authors are referencing dark fantasy heavily in teenage and young adult fantasy novels. Seeing its popularity, Netflix launched Fate: The Winx Saga, which follows more or less the same theme.
Carnival Row is another dark fantasy series that brings the dark side of the world out in the open. The fae has fled their war-torn, wasted homeland and immigrated into the city, barely passing off as citizens. Unsolved murder investigations, the madness of power and influence, and unresolved love are some themes explored in the show.
If nothing else, then watch Carnival Row for the complicated, steamy mess of a love story between Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne.
