From ‘Love Story’ to ‘Mormon Wives’ – Shows yet to Release in India That the Internet Won’t Stop Talking About
The algorithm doesn't care about geo-restrictions. A clip from “Love Story” is already on your Instagram. A thread about “The Testaments” is dominating X. Someone in your group chat won't stop quoting the “Mormon wives.” The internet has made up its mind about all of these – and India is still watching from the sidelines. A list of shows that we can't stop talking about, which are yet to launch in India, is here!
Love Story: JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette
Streaming on: FX and Hulu
Ryan Murphy’s biographical romance, “Love Story,” about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, hit the screens in February 2026 and hasn't left the conversation since. Sarah Pidgeon’s character as Carolyn is the performance everyone keeps coming back to – a woman who got swallowed whole by the world’s flashbulbs and styled herself into armor while quietly falling apart underneath it. The series also revolves around the love story of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr., from the time they met till the end. The late-90’s fashion has sent the internet into a full spiral, and rightly so. The nine-episode run wraps on March 26, and one can only assume the discourse will continue.
The Testaments
Streaming on: Hulu in the US and on Disney+ internationally
If you have watched all six seasons of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” then you already understand why “The Testaments” is the most anticipated show of April 2026. The showrunner literally engineered the finale of the original series to lead into this one. Margaret Atwood was on the phone with him throughout production.
The ending of “The Handmaid’s Tale” was always meant to bring us here. Three episodes drop on April 8. The fandom has been counting down for weeks. India will be counting down a little longer.

Criminal Minds: Evolution
Streaming on: Paramount+
The “Criminal Minds” revival that nobody was sure would work has turned into one of the better franchise resurrections in recent memory. Three seasons in – the latest kicked off May 2025 – and it has found a serialized ambition that the original procedural never attempted. The original cast is back, and the new long-form storytelling is working. Critics who even wrote off the revival in Season 1 have quietly come around as the show remains an interesting topic of conversation among the audience.
High Fidelity
Streaming on: Hulu
A Brooklyn-set adaptation of Nick Hornby’s novel is exactly as good as everyone who watched it said it was. Zoë Kravitz in “High Fidelity” plays Rob, a record-store owner rewinding through her romantic history with the kind of self-aware chaos that makes you root for her even when she’s being completely insufferable. Da'Vine Joy Randolph is in the supporting cast. The music supervision is spectacular as well. The whole thing is ten episodes of very specific, very earned joy, and it is now streaming on Hulu.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
Streaming on: Hulu
In 2022, Taylor Frankie Paul – one of the central faces of #MomTok, the Mormon influencer community that took over TikTok with choreography and curated domesticity – revealed that she and her husband, along with other couples in the group. A Hulu docuseries, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” arrived. Then, three more seasons. Season 4, which landed on March 12, 2026, is built around Taylor’s casting as the lead of “The Bachelorette,” a development so surreal it almost sounds made up. The show is fascinating because it also revolves around scandal, and the Indian audiences are following the whole thing through clips and threads, which do not do it justice.
Watching You
Streaming on: Stan in Australia and Disney+ in other regions
Australian psychological thriller starring Aisha Dee of “The Bold Type” as a paramedic whose affair is filmed without her knowledge and used to dismantle her life. Six episodes. The genre is the erotic thriller – something that mainstream television mostly abandoned in the 2000s and has been slowly, cautiously returning to – and “Watching You” does it with more intelligence and emotional honesty than the format usually allows.
The show built a devoted audience in Australia from October 2025 and crossed a wider one earlier this year. The clips are all over Indian social media, which follows the hype.
Sunny Nights
Streaming on: Hulu
Will Forte and D'Arcy Carden in “Sunny Nights” play an American brother and sister who move to Sydney to start a spray tan business and immediately get tangled up with organized crime. This works because these two are genuinely great together – Forte doing his particular brand of well-meaning disaster, Carden doing the sharper, more pragmatic version of the same energy. It premiered in Australia on Boxing Day 2025, hit the US in March 2026, and has been picking up real word-of-mouth ever since.
Climax
Streaming on: Disney+
The South Korean political thriller that K-drama Twitter has been losing its mind over since March 16. Ju Ji-hoon plays prosecutor Bang Tae-seop, a man clawing his way into the uppermost tier of South Korea’s power cartel. Ha Ji-won plays his wife, Chu Sang-ah, a former top actress who has been quietly sidelined since marriage and is done being quiet. The toxic marriage dynamic, the conglomerate power politics, the chemistry between the leads – all of it being dissected in real time across every platform Indian audiences are on, about a show they cannot access.
Fackham Hall
Streaming on: HBO Max and Hulu
“Fackham Hall” is the British period comedy that nobody expected to be this funny. Directed by Jim O’Hanlon, it follows Eirc Noone, Damian Lewis, Tom Felton and Jimmy Carr, who round out a cast that fully commits to the absurdity. Critics have called it “Downton Abbey” crossed with “Airplane.” It is available on HBO Max and Hulu in the US and has been generating genuine word-of-mouth since its late 2025 release, but it is not available in India yet.
