Citadel Season 2 arrives May 6 on Prime Video, bringing back Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Richard Madden and Stanley Tucci. The spy thriller raises the stakes as Nadia (Chopra Jonas), Mason Kane (Madden) and Bernard Orlick (Tucci) launch new operations to confront a threat from the shadowy Manticore network.
The season digs deeper into the show’s global espionage web, promising twists and high-tempo missions. Also landing May 6 on Prime Video is Love Insurance Kompany, a romantic comedy starring Pradeep Ranganathan, SJ Suryah and Krithi Shetty. According to IMDb, the story follows a believer in old-school romance who falls for Dheema, a woman who embraces tech-driven dating.
Their relationship tests modern love conventions and puts them at odds with Suriyan, a powerful CEO behind a love app. True-crime fans get a fresh dose on May 6 with Netflix’s Worst Ex Ever Season 2. Netflix’s official synopsis describes the series as charting “chilling betrayals” and “murder plots,” dissecting the dark side of love through eyewitness accounts.
Expect interviews, archival material and emotionally charged storytelling about toxic relationships and the crimes tied to them. On May 8, Netflix debuts Lukkhe, featuring King aka MC Badnaam, Raashii Khanna, Palak Tiwari, Lakshvir Singh Saran and Shivankit Singh Parihar.
As described by IMDb, a young athlete steps into Punjab’s perilous rap scene to investigate a drug ring, only to be pulled between love, family, guilt and brotherhood. What starts as mischief evolves into a grounded story about friendship and small-town struggles.
The week closes with the return of the Turkish drama Thank You, Next: Season 3 on Netflix, streaming May 8. Starring Serenay Sarikaya and Metin Akdülger, the series continues its examination of contemporary relationships, heartbreak and the choices that shape how people move on, blending romance and drama with an eye on present-day dilemmas.
