New Series & Movies Released On Amazon, Hotstar, Netflix This Weekend (3rd June)
1. 9 Hours
(Streaming on Disney+ Hotstar | Release date: 2 June)
9 Hours is about three prisoners, who escape from jail to rob three branches of the same bank. But when a simple robbery turns into a hostage situation that no one planned for, the secrets start to pile out. A short-tempered police officer Pratap (Taraka Ratna) happens to be nearby as the situation escalates. What follows is the chaos that no one could’ve predicted. The web series takes you through a span of the titular nine hours, weaving a tightly wound narrative that keeps you engaged for the most part.
2. Aashram 3
(Streaming on MX Player | Release date: 3 June)
One of the most successful crime thrillers in recent times, this Bobby Deol-starrer is about a godman and the inner workings of a great con he pulls off. The series captures how this godman blindsides his followers to gain political power and becomes unreachable. The series has interesting side plots running to keep you entertained throughout the three seasons. Directed by very talented Prakash Jha, the third season also stars Esha Gupta, Aaditi Pohankar, Darshan Kumar, and Chandan Roy Sanyal.
3. The Boys Season 3
(Streaming on Amazon Prime Video | Release date: 3 June)
Almost after the two-year gap, the most scandalous and unconventional superhero series is back on Amazon Prime Video. ‘The Boys’ is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. In case you want to watch the series, the new episode will be dropped every Friday.
4. Umbrella Academy Season 3
(Streaming on Netflix | Release date: 3 June)
The series revolves around a dysfunctional family of adopted sibling superheroes who reunite to solve the mystery of their father’s death and the threat of an imminent apocalypse. The first two seasons received a lot of love from the fan. We are hoping this season is as badass as the earlier seasons.
5. Borgen Season 3
(Streaming on Netflix | Release date: 3 June)
A former Prime Minister of Denmark, Birgitte Nyborg now takes up the reins as the country’s Minister for Foreign Affairs. Chaos soon follows her new appointment when a drilling company discovers oil in Greenland, kick-starting an international power grab. Noticing that her superiors have a not-so-sincere climate politics agenda, she considers adapting to it. The political drama focuses on her morality as it fluctuates between changing her stance on oil or resigning.
