Amid small-town social pressure and a complicated shared history, the two must navigate conflicting priorities and a possible second chance at love.

Lukkhe | May 8

A Hindi musical crime drama set in Chandigarh’s rap scene. An undercover athlete infiltrates a drug ring and finds himself caught between street power and personal ambition.

A connection to an unsolved high school murder from two years prior adds another layer to this six-episode psychological thriller.

Thank You, Next: Season 3 | May 8
