‘These’ shows are dissected, discussed and get sequels!

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of a show you just can’t get enough of. The kind that pulls you into its world, makes you obsess over theories, and leaves you frantically searching, “When is the next season dropping?” Some shows aren’t just watched – they’re dissected, discussed, and rewatched endlessly by fans who refuse to move on until they get closure.

In the streaming era, franchises have taken over, and the hunger for sequels has never been bigger. While international juggernauts like House of The Dragons and Last of Us keep global audiences hooked, Indian originals are creating their own cult followings. And few platforms have built a library as exciting and diverse as JioHotstar, delivering everything from high-stakes thrillers to gripping courtroom dramas, mythological mind-benders, and action-packed espionage sagas.

Among its lineup, there are certain shows that have set the bar high—leaving viewers desperately waiting for the next chapter. While nothing is officially confirmed, the buzz around these potential sequels is impossible to ignore. If these fan-favorites return, here’s what we might be in for:

#Asur3 – The Mythological Mind Games May Not Be Over Yet : Blending forensic crime with ancient mythology, Asur has carved its place as one of the most unique thrillers in the Indian streaming space. Season 2 left us with lingering doubts—has Shubh really been defeated, or is his grand plan still unfolding? If Asur 3 is in the works, we can expect an even more sinister psychological battle, new layers of mythology, and a fresh take on the war between chaos and order. With its signature mix of intellect and intrigue, this is one sequel that could get really dark.

#SpecialOps2 – Will Himmat Singh Return for One Last Mission? : Few Indian spy thrillers have achieved the cult status of Special Ops. Led by the ever-brilliant Kay Kay Menon as the razor-sharp Himmat Singh, the series has taken us deep into the world of covert intelligence and high-stakes global conspiracies. If Special Ops 2 happens, will Himmat finally retire, or is another unfinished mission about to pull him back in? With action sequences that rival Hollywood and plot twists that keep you guessing, this one’s bound to be an edge-of-the-seat ride.

#CriminalJustice4 – Madhav Mishra’s Next Big Case? : Legal dramas are at their best when they blur the lines between right and wrong, and Criminal Justice has mastered that art. With Pankaj Tripathi’s Madhav Mishra at the helm, each season has tackled cases that are as complex as they are gripping. So what could be next? A high-profile political scandal? A twisted murder mystery? Whatever it is, we know Madhav Mishra will bring his signature wit, unorthodox methods, and street-smart tactics to the courtroom once again.

#Aarya4 – Will She Hold on to the Throne? : Sushmita Sen’s Aarya Sareen isn’t just a character—she’s an icon. From a reluctant mafia queen to a fierce leader taking control of her destiny, her journey has been one of survival, power, and reinvention. If Aarya 4 is on the horizon, what lies ahead? Will she expand her empire, or will the past come back to haunt her? With betrayals, power struggles, and high-octane drama, this one has the potential to be the most explosive season yet.

While there’s no official word yet, the anticipation for these sequels is real. Some stories demand a continuation, and if these hit shows return, they’ll be among the most talked-about binges of the year. Until then, all we can do is hope, speculate, and maybe – just maybe – re-watch the previous seasons to catch clues about what’s coming next.
