The biggest Indian OTT releases this week are Hotstar's 1000 Babies and Dharmatic Entertainment's Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, returning for a third season. While the former is a bone-chilling crime thriller set in Kerala, the latter gives a peek into the lavish lives of powerful women from the film industry, married to popular Bollywood actors.

On the international front, there's some delightful news for the fans of American sitcom, The Office –– the Australian version of the beloved show is dropping on Prime Video this Friday.

Other shows returning for a second and third time, respectively, are Apple TV's Shrinking and Netflix's legal drama, The Lincoln Lawyer. While the former is a deep exploration of human emotions, the latter –– a courtroom thriller –– provides a high-stakes look at Los Angeles' legal scene.

A popular video-game-to-Web-series adaptation comes from Netflix in the form of Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, where we see ferocious space battles, high-tech armour suits, and jaw-dropping action sequences in a futuristic world.
