MUMBAI: If your weekend plans involved anything other than your couch, you might want to cancel them. This Friday and Saturday, OTT platforms are dropping a massive slate of content that ranges from high-fashion drama in Rome to bone-chilling psychological thrillers.
Whether you’re in the mood for some “Dhak Dhak” chills or a laugh with “PC” (Priyanka Chopra), here is your ultimate streaming roadmap for December 19-21.
Emily in Paris Season 5: Ciao, Rome!
Platform: Netflix | Status: Now Streaming
Emily Cooper has officially left the Eiffel Tower in her rearview mirror—at least for now. Season 5, which dropped yesterday, takes our favorite marketing executive to the cobblestone streets of Rome. While she’s busy opening a new office for Agence Grateau, the drama is messier than ever. Between a handsome new Italian love interest, Marcello, and the lingering shadow of Gabriel back in Paris, Emily is finding that “La Dolce Vita” comes with its own set of complications.
Mrs Deshpande: Madhuri Dixit’s Deadliest Avatar
Platform: JioHotstar | Release Date: Friday, Dec 19
Forget the graceful dancer; the “Dhak Dhak” girl has turned into a nightmare. In her most daring role to date, Madhuri Dixit stars as a convicted serial killer who is brought out of her cell to help the police catch a dangerous copycat murderer. Adapted from the French hit La Mante, this Nagesh Kukunoor directorial features a de-glam, chilling Madhuri who proves that her “million-watt smile” can hide some very dark secrets.
The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4: The Global Icon Returns

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is the first guest of Season 4, and the promos already show her and Kapil engaging in some hilarious banter about Nick Jonas and her life in LA. Expect Sunil Grover to return in new avatars, along with Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda, for your weekly dose of unscripted madness.
Four More Shots Please! Season 4: The Final Round
Platform: Amazon Prime Video | Status: Now Streaming (from midnight)
It’s time to say goodbye to the Mumbai quartet. The final season of this Emmy-nominated series is here, and the “girl gang” is dealing with the most adult problems yet—from career collapses to complex family dynamics. Sayani Gupta, Kirti Kulhari, Bani J, and Maanvi Gagroo are joined this season by Dino Morea, promising a high-octane finale to a show that redefined female friendship on Indian screens.
Dark Picks: Human Specimens & Nayanam
If you want something truly unsettling, Prime Video has dropped Human Specimens, a Japanese mystery where a researcher turns young boys into “specimens” to preserve their beauty. Meanwhile, on Zee5, Varun Sandesh makes his OTT debut with Nayanam, a Telugu thriller about an ophthalmologist whose “illegal experiments” allow him to see into people’s private lives—leading to a web of murder and obsession.
