What to watch on OTT this weekend (September 21-27)

Spinning out of Marvel’s animated anthology What If...?, this new adult animated series imagines a timeline where Earth’s heroes have been turned into flesh-hungry zombies. A small group of super-powered survivors must band together to fight the infected versions of their friends, mentors, and idols. It’s the Marvel universe, but darker, bloodier, and with more brains on the menu.

The world of espionage gets delightfully messy in Slow Horses, where MI5’s least impressive agents are led by Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), a brilliant but foul-mouthed boss. Season five adapts Mick Herron’s London Rules, following this ragtag group as they bumble along, uncover conspiracies, and somehow keep England safe. Think spycraft without the glamour: just nicotine, insults, and unlikely victories. A masterclass in making failure look heroic.

The Japanese sci-fi thriller returns with Arisu (Kento Yamazaki) and Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya) still trapped in a parallel Tokyo where survival depends on winning deadly games. Season 3 raises the stakes with new trials linked to the mysterious Joker, promising even higher risks and darker twists. 

Often compared to Squid Game for its ruthless survival theme, this season packs mind-bending challenges and gripping drama while asking the eternal question: how far will you go to stay alive?

From Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders, comes a new family drama set in 19th-century Dublin and New York. When patriarch Sir Benjamin Guinness dies, his will sparks rivalries and betrayals that ripple across the legendary brewing dynasty. The series blends historical drama with the gritty, high-stakes vibe Knight is known for. Expect ambition, family feuds, and the intoxicating pull of power—served with the unmistakable flavour of Guinness.

In this eerie Canadian-British miniseries, police officer Alex Dempsey moves with his pregnant wife, Laura, to the seemingly idyllic town of Tall Pines. Beneath the postcard-perfect surface, however, lies a disturbing reality, and Alex soon teams up with two troubled local teens to expose the community’s dark secrets. Unsettling truths emerge, blurring the lines between safety and danger.

This Telugu rom-com follows Siddharth, a man nearing 40 with an unshakable checklist for the “perfect” partner. After countless failed romances, he finally meets Eira (Vriti Vaghani), a college student who seems to match his ideals. But their relationship faces fierce opposition from Eira’s mother, Vaishnavi. With family drama, comedy, and an eyebrow-raising age gap at its core, Sundarakanda explores love, expectations, and what happens when reality challenges fantasy.

Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle is an unscripted talk show where Kajol teams up with Mrs Funnybones aka Twinkle Khanna, to chat with celebrity guests. The format leans on their playful banter, sharp wit, and the easy camaraderie they bring to the screen. While critics haven’t given the first episode—featuring Aamir Khan and Salman Khan—glowing reviews, it still offers a sense of nostalgia and comforting background viewing.
