Romance, chaos, and drama—everything you should add to your current watch list

If there’s one thing film and TV do best, it’s turning emotional chaos into premium entertainment. Whether it’s lovers circling each other, secrets unravelling mid-romance, or stories that blur the line between passion and peril, the course of true love still doesn’t run smooth, but it does stream exceptionally well. From buzzy adaptations and long-awaited sequels to old-school romance and edge-of-your-seat thrillers, these are the titles currently feeding our screens, our group chats, and our collective main-character energy.

The Last Thing He Told Me, Season 2
February 20, On Apple TV+

If you would have told us that Laura Dave’s novel-turned-show would become so huge that it would force her to write a sequel for it to be renewed for a second season—we would’ve raised an eyebrow...but wouldn’t have brushed it off completely. Jennifer Garner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Angourie Rice, and David Morse all return as the story continues beyond Owen’s (played by Coster-Waldau) disappearance.

Wuthering Heights
February 13, In theatres

Don’t @ us, but we have a hunch this would be the biggest hit of the year. If you’ve seen the sex scene discourse online, you know the obsession is real. Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of the 19th century novel stars Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie—and that is reason enough for most (read: Us) to watch it. Brb, on our way to the read the book for the 9642853th time.

Do Deewane Seher Mein
February 20, In theatres

This Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur starrer is an “imperfectly perfect” love story according to its makers. Directed by Ravi Udyawar of Mom (2017) fame, and produced by Zee Studios and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bhansali Productions, the movie is pivoted on old-school romance.

Project Hail Mary
March 20, In theatres

Ryan Gosling plays Ryland Grace, who wakes up alone aboard a spacecraft with no memory of who he is, or why he’s there. As his memories slowly return, so does the terrifying truth: He is humanity’s last hope, tasked with solving the mystery behind a strange substance that’s causing the sun to burn out. Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub round out the cast.

Bridgerton, Season 4
January 29 (Part 1) and February 26 (Part 2), On Netflix

Everyone’s favourite show is back and JSYK Jonathan Bailey will be returning as Anthony Bridgerton! This season, divided into two parts, is about Benedict, according to Netflix’s tweet. “Benedict Bridgerton has been unmasked as next season’s newest suitor. Please scream to celebrate our boy.” *Screaming with a big S.* So if you need us, don’t (unless it’s to talk about Bridgerton, of course)

Tu Yaa Main
February 13, In theatres

Our cover star Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav pair up for this romantic thriller, positioned as “the ultimate date fright film” by its makers. Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, the movie follows a meet-cute that soon spirals into a survival thriller. We bet you’re already hooked!

Industry, Season 4
January 11, On JioHotstar

There’s just something so comforting about having a soapy workplace drama to look forward to every Monday. And if the creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay are to be believed, this season might be the most addictive yet. According to the official press release, the show will see frenemies Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) drawn into a high stakes “globetrotting cat-and-mouse game”. Also joining the cast are Kiernan Shipka and Charlie Heaton. Consider us locked in.
