We all loved Black Warrant and Maamla Legal Hai for its unique yet realistic storytelling. Netflix is coming back again with The Royals Season 2 despite mixed reviews. Mismatched, Black Warrant, Maamla Legal Hai, and The Royals will be returning soon with brand-new seasons. How much we can love or hate them, that we will decide after watching the shows.
The Royals S2: Netflix's The Royals is not just a treat to the eyes, but a lot about the hurdles that royals go through in terms of finances and that's when the hospitality industry steps in as a saviour. A fun series with a very interesting twist and a reality check that all royals are not rich. Their life is just a façade.

With its fresh, glamorous take on modern-day Indian royalty, The Royals sparked conversations on how rich are the royals. As the first Indian series to trend in Netflix's Global Top 10 Non-English TV Shows across 58 countries, The Royals marked a cultural moment. The show received mixed review. Season 2 promises to turn up the heat with even more intrigue, drama, and twists.
The ending of The Royals does have a royal twist when Prince Aviraaj realises that he is not the real royal as he was not the son of the Maharaja of Morpur. The show ends dramatically where there is a public announcement made and the people of Morpur get to know that the real king is a gay and he and his wife had an arrangement of an open marriage.
Black Warrant S2: This seven-episode series created by Vikramaditya Motwane and Satyanshu Singh is not an one-time watch and definitely not for binge watching. It's an impactful prison series that will make you think.
For a person to reform the environment of the prisoners needs to improve. That's exactly what Netflix's Black Warrant based in Tihar jail wants to show. This web series talks about the world inside the high-profile prison complex of Tihar through the eyes of a jailer and his perception. The narration is real and raw to the core. Black Warrant has references to all the crimes that become hot news in the 1970s and 1980s.

On the reception of Season 1, creator-director Vikramaditya Motwane shares, 'The love and appreciation we've received for Black Warrant has been overwhelming and deeply encouraging. Collaborating with Netflix, Applause Entertainment, and Confluence Media to bring Sunil Gupta's unique perspective and powerful story to life has been an incredibly fulfilling journey. We're grateful to Sunil for trusting us with his story, and to our stellar cast and crew for bringing such heart and conviction to this world. We can't wait for audiences to see what's in store for Season 2, as we dive deeper into the human stories, moral complexities, and raw realities of life inside Tihar.'
Maamla Legal Hai S2: Season 1 of Maamla Legal Hai stood out for its unique blend of heart and courtroom humour, appreciating the show's light-hearted take on the everyday chaos at the Patparganj District Court. Season 2 has begun filming and will bring a fresh dose of dis-order and eccentric legal battles. The beloved team of lawyers featuring Ravi Kishan, Naila Grewal, Nidhi Bisht, and Anant Joshi is ready to make a comeback to the courtroom.

Courtroom drama couldn't been this entertaining without the entire cast of Maamla Legal Hai. And not just entertaining, it's witty too. Directed by Rahul Pandey, and written by Kunal Aneja and Saurabh Khanna is a complete cocktail of real life cases. It gives a glimpse as to what happens in the courts of Hindi heartland and their real cases and their problems. The new season also introduces the multi-talented Dinesh Lal Yadav, known as Nirahua. And Kusha Kapila too will be joining the new season.
Mismatched S4: This beloved coming-of-age romance has grown with Dimple and Rishi as they navigate the complexities of young love and personal growth.

All the deets on Lady Gaga's Wednesday character: Here comes Rosaline Rotwood!
Who's joining Jenna Ortega in Wednesday's second stint on our screens? But of course, Lady Gaga! Putting any and all speculation to rest, Netflix, at its Tudum fan event held in Los Angeles' Kia Forum on Saturday, May 31, officially brought on Lady Gaga as part of the Wednesday family. The pop star and actor of repute will be playing "the mysterious and enigmatic Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday", as stated on their website's official announcement. The event was all in all a very special evening for fans as Gaga jumped out of a coffin to perform a mini set, getting into the groove of the eerie Addams-stamped vibe. She performed Mayhem tracks Zombieboy and Abracadabra, laced with a dance performance to the Cramps' Goo Goo Muck, a direct ode you can say, to Jenna's viral dance scene from the first season of Wednesday. Following this she jumped right back into her coffin, leaving audiences wanting more. Gaga's role in the second season of Wednesday comes shortly after her work in Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) was widely panned — largely owing to the near-unanimous disappointment in how the Joaquin Phoenix-led franchise was taken forward. That being said, Gaga is sure an actor worth her salt, as her work in House of Gucci (2021) and prior to that, A Star is Born (2019) has demonstrated. As a matter of fact, the latter has also gotten her an Oscar win for Best Original Song coupled with a Best Actress nomination — not an easy feat by any means! As far as Gaga's horror cred in acting goes, she starred in two seasons of FX's American Horror Story — the first was in season 5 titled Hotel in which she lead the season as Elizabeth 'The Countess' Johnson and the second was in season 6 titled Roanoke in which she played Scáthach. Coming back to Wednesday, the first 6 minutes of season 2 was shared by Netflix on Saturday. Though there's no sign of Gaga's Rosaline Rotwood in it, we're sure when the moment comes, everyone will be absolutely blown away.

Tanuj Virwani calls working on 'Rana Naidu 2' a phenomenal experience: 'I am cautiously optimistic'
Actor Tanuj Virwani , who will be seen in "Rana Naidu" Season 2, has been a "massive fan" of the first season. He said he had a phenomenal experience shooting and that he was cautiously optimistic about the second installment of the series. Tanuj said: "The experience has been truly phenomenal. I am a massive fan of the first season. In fact, I used to keep pestering Karan Anshuman who is also my showrunner for all 3 seasons of Inside Edge. I used to tell him to give me a role as I really wanted to be a part of his special universe." He added: "It doesn't matter what he wrote for me as I always knew he would write something nice for me. Cut to a few months, he was back. He said that he's developing something and he thought I would be fit for that part. So he asked me to catch up and discuss more. When I heard the narration, I loved what he had written for me and I knew I could bring something different to the table. I am always excited to try new and different stuff." The actor said that when there are "handful of scenes" and the "role" is pivotal to the larger narrative, "it can freeze you off the shackles." "When you are the main lead in a show or a film, there's more added responsibility on your shoulders and maybe that chance to experiment and freedom is a little less. But, when you are in a handful of scenes and your role is very important to the larger narrative, it can freeze you off the shackles." He added: "That's what this role of Chirag Oberoi in ' Rana Naidu Season 2 ' offered me. I am cautiously optimistic and I hope the audience enjoys watching it as much as I enjoyed being a part of it." Talking about other cast members, he said: "We also have some fantastic additions. Kriti Kharbanda and I are playing brothers and sisters, Rajat Kapoor is playing our father. There's a very interesting dynamic between the three of us and I truly can't wait for 13th June." "Rana Naidu" Season 2 is set to stream on Netflix from June 13. "Rana Naidu" is an action crime drama television series directed by Karan Anshuman and Suparn Verma. It is the official adaptation of the 2013 American crime drama TV series Ray Donovan. It stars Venkatesh Daggubati, Rana Daggubati (as the title character), Suchitra Pillai, Gaurav Chopra and Surveen Chawla in lead roles. The series was released on 10 March 2023.
