Web Series releasing in May 2023
Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo
Dimple Kapadia, Radhika Madan, Angira Dhar, and Isha Talwar play the key characters in the series. The series is directed by Homi Adajania. The show is marketed as a fresh take on the saas-bahu drama sub-genre, which typically examines the power dynamics between stoic, merciless in-law moms and timid in-law daughters. Instead, an “unapologetically hardcore” mother-in-law and “steadfast and formidable” younger women will be featured in “Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo”.

Hannah Gadsby: Something Special
Here is the new comedy special from Hannah Gadsby! The homosexual comic in the teaser declares, “This will be a feel-good show,” but then follows that up with, “Or is it?” Gadsby then promises the audience that the program will be a feel-good one; in fact, it will be a romantic comedy because they recently married the program’s director, Jenney Shamash. “We now share love stories,” claims Gadsby.

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
The focus of the Bridgerton-verse prologue is Queen Charlotte’s ascent to fame and dominance. The series will describe how the young Queen’s union with King George sparked a wonderful love story and a social revolution, resulting in the world of the Tonne that the Bridgerton characters inherited. Even though the majority of the series is devoted to revealing Queen Charlotte’s past, it frequently returns to the present-day clique, bringing back Golda Rosheuvel to play the older version. Arsema Thomas (Redeeming Love), Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones), and Sam Clemment (Cherry) also appear in the series as young Lady Agatha Danbury, Princess Augusta, and young Brimsley, respectively.
