New Delhi: From Scam 1992 to Pataal Lok, we discovered many new talents that had been struggling and hiding beneath not so strong roles. These web-shows not only caught people's fancy but also led to the boom of OTT platforms.
What's in store for this year? There are so many great shows and new seasons of this series that have amassed a great fan following already lined up for release in this year.
Here are the Indian web shows that we are eagerly waiting for:
1. Family Man 2
Srikant Tiwari (Manoj Bajpayee) and Sharib Hashmi (JK Talpade) are all set to take a bigger and deadlier mission this time. After the grand success of season 1, the season 2 of the show is slated to release this summer. Also starring Priyamani, Sharad Kelkar, Gul Panag, Shreya Dhanwanthary and Samantha Akkineni, the mystery of the first season that ended on the cliffhanger will be solved soon.
OTT platform: Amazon Prime Video
Streaming from: Date yet to be announced
2. Asur 2
The psychological thriller had palpable suspense and lot of twists and turns. Being hailed as a masterpiece, the expectations from season 2 are quite high. First season starring Barun Sobti (of Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon fame) and Arshad Warsi revolved around CBI's forensics team which was on a mission to catch a serial-killer. The killer, who thought of himself as an Asur, was surprisingly always a step ahead of them.

3. Made in Heaven 2
Created by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, Made in Heaven, a wedding agency catering to the upper class, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Delhi elite, revealing some dark truths beyond the glittery exteriors of their existence. With the first season catching our imagination, we are certainly looking forward to the second season later this year.

Saluting the bravery of frontline heroes, the medical drama starring Konkona Sen Sharma, Mohit Raina, Tina Desai and Shreya Dhanwanthary in lead roles, depicts the untold story of doctors, nurses, paramedics and hospital staff, who worked tirelessly to save lives during the attacks that ravaged the city.
