🎬 Upcoming Hindi Web Series on Amazon Prime Video
Prime Video built its Indian audience on gritty crime dramas, and its 2026 slate doubles down on that identity.
Mirzapur Season 4 Most Awaited
The title everyone’s tracking. After Guddu Pandit finally claimed the throne at the end of Season 3, the new season shifts the story from “fighting for power” to “holding on to it” — new rivals, new political enemies, same bloodshed. An official date hasn’t dropped yet, but industry reports point to a 2026 window, exclusively on Prime Video.
Panchayat Season 5
Brings Sachiv Ji’s journey back to Phulera. Officially confirmed, with Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, and Raghubir Yadav all returning. Expect more political satire, village-level power struggles, and the emotional beats the franchise is loved for — no firm date yet, but expectations are running high given how big Season 4 already was.
The Family Man Season 4
Picks up after Season 3 became Prime Video India’s most-watched show of 2025. Manoj Bajpayee has confirmed a fourth season is in the works, with Srikant Tiwari likely facing a new national-security threat. Whether it lands in 2026 or slips to 2027 is still unconfirmed.
Raakh
A Hindi crime thriller inspired by the real-life 1978 Ranga-Billa case in Delhi. The series follows the disappearance of two teenagers, which sparks a gripping, nationwide investigation — already released and still trending on the platform’s watch lists.
Lukkhe
A musical action-drama set in Chandigarh’s underground rap and crime scene, diving into ambition, rivalry, and the city’s hip-hop subculture. A newer, edgier addition to Prime Video’s catalogue that’s found a loyal audience this year.
🎭 Upcoming Hindi Web Series on Netflix
Netflix’s 2026 Hindi content strategy looks different from Prime Video’s — less gang war, more relationship drama and dark comedy.
Mismatched Season 4
Wraps up Prajakta Koli and Rohit Saraf’s Dimple-Rishi storyline for good. Filming began in late December 2025, and it’s being marketed as the emotional send-off for the franchise’s loyal, younger fanbase — expect relationship twists, emotional highs, and a satisfying series finale.
Maamla Legal Hai Season 2
Brings back Ravi Kishan for more courtroom chaos at the fictional Patparganj District Court, with Kusha Kapila joining the cast this season and a “massive twist in power dynamics” promised by the makers.
Lust Stories 3
Continues Netflix’s bold anthology format, with Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra, and Amar Kaushik each directing a short film. Radhika Apte, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Abhishek Banerjee lead a cast exploring desire, intimacy, and modern relationships across four distinct stories.
The Royals Season 2
Returns Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar as Aviraaj and Sophia, alongside Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, and Nora Fatehi. Renewed in mid-2025 and currently listed as “coming soon,” the new season is expected to deepen the royal-family relationship drama that hooked viewers in Season 1.
Kartavya
A Saif Ali Khan-led crime drama produced by Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, premiered on the platform in May 2026 and has kept Netflix’s Hindi crime catalogue growing alongside its softer, relationship-driven titles.
⚡ Upcoming Hindi Web Series on JioHotstar
Since the JioCinema–Disney+ Hotstar merger, JioHotstar has emerged as the platform throwing the widest net — sports, regional content, and now a heavy Hindi web series push.
Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Big Premiere
Directed by Aditya Dhar, a high-octane espionage thriller and the final installment of the duology, starring Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. It streamed with a special digital premiere and an extended, uncut version titled Raw & Undekha, offering additional footage and uncensored dialogues exclusive to the platform.
Thukra Ke Mera Pyaar Season 2
Picked up the revenge drama where Season 1 left off. Shanvika becomes stronger and more determined to take revenge, while Kuldeep struggles with guilt and betrayal, as tensions between the two families reach a darker, more emotional turning point.
Inspector Avinash Season 2
Brought Randeep Hooda back as the real-life-inspired super-cop Avinash Mishra. Directed by Neerraj Pathak, the new season is set in late-1990s Uttar Pradesh, where Avinash battles a growing weapons cartel while confronting betrayal from within his own system — and his own family.
Criminal Justice Season 5
Confirmed and currently in production, with Pankaj Tripathi reprising the sharp, witty lawyer Madhav Mishra for a brand-new case. This remains one of the platform’s most consistent courtroom-drama franchises, with each season raising the bar on legal storytelling.
📺 Upcoming Hindi Web Series on Zee5 and SonyLIV
Zee5 and SonyLIV don’t get the same marketing push as the big three, but both have quietly strong catalogues worth watching this year.
SonyLIV’s Medical Drama, Season 5
Confirmed to continue the emotionally charged storyline around Dr. Rina’s relationship with her biological parents, Dr. Radhi and Vijay — filming was underway as of mid-2026. The platform has also leaned into legal dramas, with new courtroom-thriller entries featuring Rajeev Khandelwal, adding to a genre that’s clearly making a comeback across Hindi OTT in general.
Zee5’s Story-First Dramas
Zee5 continues to be the platform to check for smaller-budget, story-first Hindi dramas that don’t always get national headlines but build strong regional followings — worth a scan if you’ve exhausted the bigger platforms’ catalogues.
🏆 So Which Platform Should You Actually Subscribe To?
Here’s the honest, no-fluff answer based on what’s actually releasing:
- Pick Prime Video if you want crime, gang wars, and political thrillers — Mirzapur, Panchayat, and The Family Man alone justify the subscription.
- Pick Netflix if your household prefers relationship drama, comedy, and anthology storytelling.
- Pick JioHotstar if you want the widest spread of content — Hindi, regional, and sports — under one recharge.
- Add Zee5 or SonyLIV as a second subscription if you’ve already covered the big two and want more without paying premium prices.
The good news: most of these platforms run frequent recharge offers, cashback deals, and bundled data-plus-OTT packs through telecom operators in India, so you rarely need to pay full price for more than one at a time. If you’re stacking multiple subscriptions this year, it’s worth checking current recharge and cashback offers before renewing — you can often get 2-3 months of a platform bundled into a mobile recharge for less than the standalone subscription price.
