Release date: 20 Apr 2026

Where to Watch: JioHotstar

The acclaimed English OTT series' new season brings a fresh batch of home cooks into the MasterChef Australia kitchen, where they face skill tests, pressure rounds, and elimination challenges as they chase the title.

The appeal is still the same mix of food ambition, kitchen stress, and contestant growth. It is the easiest “ongoing comfort binge” in this week’s lineup if you want something lighter than crime or thriller titles.

The judging panel this season features Andy Allen, Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin, and Jean-Christophe Novelli, and guest judges this year include names like Maggie Beer, Adriano Zumbo, and Meghan Markle.

Greenland 2: Migration - Lionsgate Play

Greenland 2: Migration - Lionsgate Play

Release date: 24 Apr 2026
Type: Movie
Language: English
Where to Watch: Lionsgate Play

This English OTT sequel to Greenland (2020) is again directed by Ric Roman Waugh.

After the comet disaster, the Garrity family is forced to leave the relative safety of Greenland’s bunker system and travel across a frozen, devastated Europe in search of a new home.

The sequel keeps the same survival-first mood but shifts the tension to migration, hostile terrain, and the question of whether any real refuge remains. It plays like a family-on-the-run disaster thriller with a bigger journey at its centre.

The cast includes Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roman Griffin Davis, Amber Rose Revah, and Sophie Thompson.

Patriot Legends Hangout - JioHotstar

Release date: 24 Apr 2026
Type: Series
Language: Malayalam
Where to Watch: JioHotstar

This Malayalam OTT series is a special chat-show style companion piece built around the upcoming film Patriot.

Instead of fiction, it brings the stars together to share stories, memories, and behind-the-scenes conversation tied to the film and their reunion. The draw here is simply watching major Malayalam names in one room, talking freely before the movie arrives.

The cast includes Mohanlal and Mammootty leading the hangout, with Kunchacko Boban and other members of the Patriot team joining in.

Release date: 30 Apr 2026
Type: Series
Language: Telugu
Where to Watch: JioHotstar

The Telugu series on OTT follows four first-year engineering students who walk into college expecting freedom and fun, only to get hit with the harsh reality of campus life.

Between friendships, crushes, bunking, ego clashes, and senior pressure, the tone stays rooted in the messy energy of coming of age. It looks like a youthful college dramedy built around the kind of batchmate chaos people never really outgrow.

The cast includes Bindu Madhavi, Sindhu Reddy, Anthony Karthik, and Sai Sriraam Vemparaala. The show pitches itself as a “your story, one you never outgrow” watch.

Release date: 24 Apr 2026
Type: Series
Language: Kannada
Where to Watch: Zee5

In Rayadurga, Prakasha finds a strange metal that lets an Xerox machine make human clones. What starts as an advantage soon spirals into chaos in this six-episode Kannada series on OTT.

As duplicates spread, an MLA dies. The town tips into panic. The series mixes fantasy, comedy, and thriller beats rather than playing it straight.

This has that oddball “one impossible object ruins everything” hook that makes it instantly stand out.

The cast includes Nagabhushana NS, Payal Chengappa, Yeshwanth Shetty, Om Prakash Rao, and Vijay Prasad.

Band Melam - Zee5

Release date: 24 Apr 2026
Type: Movie
Language: Telugu
Where to Watch: Zee5

This Telugu OTT movie follows childhood friends Giri and Raaji, whose bond runs deep but gets tested by separation, timing, and the pressures around them.

The romantic drama story leans into village-rooted emotion rather than flashy romance, building its pull through memory, longing, and second chances. It feels like a soft, musical love story rather than a heavy melodrama.

The film is directed by Sathish Javvaji, and the cast includes Harsh Roshan, Sridevi Apalla, Sai Kumar, and Goparaju Vijay.

Type: Movie
Language: Tamil
Where to Watch: SunNXT

The Tamil movie on OTT follows a struggling family from Tenkasi whose problems escalate wildly after they get entangled with a dead body and a much bigger money mess.

What should have been a straightforward survival hustle turns into a chaotic road-style black comedy full of desperate improvisation. The humor comes from just how badly every “solution” keeps going wrong.

The cast includes Prabhu Deva, Madonna Sebastian, Abhirami, Yogi Babu, and Redin Kingsley.
