This week’s biggest OTT release is season 3 of Netflix’s Bridgerton, which features romance, friendships, betrayals, dilemmas and every other emotion served up hot. While some of the past secrets are unraveled, other mysteries creep in.

Next up is SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Crown of Blood where we see two princes fighting together to save their beloved kingdom. The show will probably remind you of the Amar Chitra Katha comics!

Those looking for serious drama can watch The Big Cigar on Apple TV, which shows the delicate relationship between the film industry and political movements. On the domestic front, there is Baxal: The Stirry of Naxalites, which gives a glimpse into the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar district.

On the international front, you can enjoy Netflix’s new K-drama, The 8 Show, in which several people are trapped in a mysterious eight-story building under the pretense of participating in a dangerous game show with tempting cash prizes.

Documentary fans can watch Prime Video’s sports documentary 99, which traces how Manchester United’s fortunes were turned around in the 1990s.

Another option is Discovery Channel’s Hidden Frontiers: Arabia, in which Reza Pakravan, the award-winning explorer and filmmaker, embarks on an adventure journey through the remote and unexplored corners of the Arabian Peninsula – including the wild expanses of Oman, Iran, Bahrain, and the deserts of Saudi Arabia – along with a team of adventure experts and scientists.
