3. And Just Like That… Season 3 (May 29 | JioHotstar)
Carrie’s writing again. Aidan’s back. Miranda’s exploring (everything). Charlotte’s balancing it all. NYC is still fabulous. You know the drill — drama, designer shoes, and deep convos about aging, love, and friendship. It’s juicy, it’s grown-up, it’s back.
4. Dept. Q (May 29 | Netflix)
Scott Frank (hello, The Queen’s Gambit) brings us a brooding detective, a cold case basement, and more sarcasm than your office group chat. Matthew Goode slays as the loner-turned-sleuth in this adaptation of the bestselling Danish thrillers.
5. HIT: The Third Case (May 29 | Netflix)
Nani as a haunted homicide officer? Yes please. Serial killers, moral chaos, and an edge-of-your-couch thriller that hits all the right pressure points. Bonus? It’s available in FIVE languages. Multilingual murder mystery, anyone?
6. The Better Sister (May 29 | Prime Video)
Jessica Biel + Elizabeth Banks + a murdered husband = family dysfunction at its finest. Secrets spill, alliances shift, and you’ll be screaming “WHODUNNIT?!” every episode. Raise a toast to sisterly suspicion.

9. Retro (May 31 | Netflix)

11. A Complete Unknown (May 30 | JioHotstar)
Timothée Chalamet sings as Bob Dylan (yes, sings), and suddenly we’re all folk music stans. Dylan goes electric, the ’60s burn with rebellion, and you’ll never hear “Like a Rolling Stone” the same way again.

Olympic champs turned crime-fighting cops. Park Bo Gum + Kim So Hyun = chemistry that might make your screen overheat. Weekly episodes, wild punches, and enough stunts to make your pulse race faster than a gold medal sprint.
