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.

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.

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.
