Still from Cross season 2

Aldis Hodge reveals what to expect from season 2 of Cross on Prime Video

In a city where power often wears a polished smile and danger lurks beneath the surface, Cross returns with a second season that refuses to play safe. Set against the charged backdrop of Washington DC, the gripping crime drama follows Alex Cross, a brilliant homicide detective and forensic psychologist, as he is pushed deeper into moral grey zones while hunting a ruthless vigilante targeting corrupt billionaire magnates. As the boundaries between justice, revenge, and duty begin to blur, trust becomes fragile, loyalties are tested, and appearances prove deceiving. Ahead of the highly anticipated new season, Aldis Hodge offers insight into the mounting challenges and threats the characters face, as the story peels back layers of power, privilege, and conscience with relentless intensity. Aldis Hodge on what audiences can expect Reflecting on what audiences can expect, Aldis Hodge shares, “I'll say the thing I love about the show is that nobody's ever safe. Whether that means emotionally, personally, whether we're dealing with mortality, you know so don't get comfortable there are so many dynamic changes that shift that you will not expect.  Cross and Samson are going to face something that challenges even their relationship from a point of trust and loyalty, Cross is going to find new challenges even within the district working amongst his team and yet again, dealing with the nature of what the idea of duty means, you know, when you're working up against things that are just not okay.” He further shares his point of view and adds, “From a personal standpoint, dealing with themes of revenge and morality. You know, even if you're doing the wrong thing for what you may presume to be the right reason, is that okay? There are a lot of people that are going to look great on the surface, and once you uncover a few layers, you realize they're not as shiny and squeaky clean as you thought. So we have a lot of changing masks going on. That's why I said, don't get comfortable, because you'll never know who to trust this season. “ About Cross season 2 Season Two introduces new cast additions Matthew Lillard, Jeanine Mason, and Wes Chatham to the Cross universe, alongside returning cast members Aldis Hodge, Isaiah Mustafa, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Juanita Jennings, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, and Johnny Ray Gill. In addition to Hodge, the season is directed by Craig Siebels, Stacey Muhammad, RT Thorne, Tiffany K. Guilien, and Ed Ornelas, and executive produced by Sam Ernst, Jim Dunn, J. David Shanks, Aiyana White, Craig Siebels, Owen Shiflett, James Patterson, Bill Robinson, and Patrick Santa. The first three episodes of Cross Season Two will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on February 11, followed by weekly releases leading up to the finale on March 18.

Samara Tijori

Exclusive! Why Samara Tijori chopped her hair to play a serial killer in Daldal

While Bhumi Pednekar makes a commanding return to OTT in Amazon Prime Video’s Daldal, she finds an almost formidable counterpart in Samara Tijori. As the mercurial serial killer Anita/Anant Acharya, the actor has earned significant acclaim for her portrayal of a ruthless antagonist masquerading as a journalist. Reflecting on the reception, Tijori admits the response has been profound: “It is overwhelming; my heart is full,” she notes with evident gratitude. Samara Tijori chopped her hair for the part Samara, who wanted to pursue criminology, thinks she subconsciously manifested getting the part. Her dedication knew no bounds. She chopped her hair for real. Ask her why, and she explains, “When I went in for the look test, we tried a wig. I remember being like, ‘This is not really making me feel anything.’ When the wind was flowing, the hair was not moving. It wasn’t looking real. I thought to myself, ‘This is a part that I have, and I’m going to give 150 per cent to the performance on an emotional and physical level.’ As soon as I cut my hair, it was helpful to be Anant. It helped me detach, and it was certainly a good decision that I made.” Samara Tijori on working with Aditya Rawal and Bhumi Pednekar In the series, Samara shares a close bond with Aditya Rawal. With an evident onscreen chemistry, she asserts that they had become each other’s safe space while filming. “I love him to bits. We immediately clicked as friends. We watched a couple of films together because we had no reference point and had to enact the vulnerability,” she says.  As for her senior, Bhumi Pednekar, Samara recalled working as an AD on Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship (2020) that starred the former. But things were different now that they were co-actors. She says, “I definitely was intimidated because I have looked up to her for a very long time. I met her the first time at the reading. And she literally hugged me and said, ‘I'm so happy that we are doing this together.’” Deepak Tijori's advice to daughter Samara Samara, who is the daughter of veteran actor Deepak Tijori, says that she had to shoot the climax earlier than expected, which left her petrified. But one phone call to her dad added a massive dose of encouragement. “He has always told me to be patient because it’s not always hunky-dory. I saw good and bad days with my father, and what I took from that is resilience. He emphasises being ready because when something comes, you shouldn't be slacking,” she says.  Samara is aware of the pressures that come with great work. But she believes in going with the flow. “For a change, I would like to play happier roles,” she laughs. “If I can access these parts of myself and express them as an actor, there is nothing more fulfilling than that. But I am definitely in a space where I want to see where this takes me. It's not like some 50 things are flooding me. It’s very soon,” she signs off.

Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra makes web series debut with Talaash: A Mother's Search

After receiving critical acclaim with her stirring performance in the award-winning Netflix film Amar Singh Chamkila, Parineeti Chopra is all set to captivate audiences in an all-new avatar. Netflix officially announced its upcoming new web series Talaash: A Mother’s Search, with Parineeti in the lead, as part of its much-anticipated 2026 slate. Marking her OTT web series debut, the thriller promises an intense, emotionally layered narrative that puts a mother’s love, resilience, and unbreakable spirit at its very core. Talaash: A Mother's Search A gripping exploration of grief, hope, and determination, Talaash weaves together suspense with deeply human emotions. Produced by Alchemy Films and directed by Rensil D Silva, the series also boasts a powerful ensemble cast featuring Soni Razdan, Anup Soni, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Sumeet Vyas, and others, each bringing their own depth to the layered story. The teaser of the upcoming show sees Parineeti Chopra in search of her missing daughter, along with her partner, essayed by Tahir Raj Bhasin. She puts out posters of her missing child with a handsome reward of Rs 15 lakh for anyone providing with leads to help finding their daughter. The narrative gets intense, and Parineeti's character has to be cautious as she cannot trust anyone, not even family.  Parineeti Chopra on motherhood This is Parineeti Chopra's first project after the birth of her son, whom she welcomed with her husband Raghav Chadha last year.  Parineeti who recently completed 2 months to her embracing motherhood, recently had shared a video on her YouTube channel, where she was seen talking about the importance of mindfulness. She said, “If your mind is positive, your body follows it. I see that a lot of people start using their phones as soon as they wake up. And the worst habit is that they start scrolling as soon as they wake up. That makes your mind almost numb. And your whole day can be disturbed. So I have realised that if you wake up in the morning and ignore your phone, get bored for an hour, sit, listen to music, go in nature, and listen to the birds, it helps you keep calm. Chant some mantras.” “That's what I do. I chant Hanuman Chalisa as soon as I wake up in the morning. Or I chant Namami Shamisham. And that's how I like to start my day. So I feel that whatever happens in the day, positive or negative. You can control its reaction. Because you are in a good state. It should be like when I get out of my bed. It should be a shot of a heroine. I get out of my bed in slow motion,” she added. The actress further stated, “Life should be like this. I have realized as I am growing older. Mindset is everything. How you react to everything. What perception you have. That is the most important thing. And the most important thing is my health, my fitness. And my mental health for myself. And I want to look better while I do all of this. Now I have understood what I like. Or what I like to do. What I want to eat. How I want to eat. When I want to sleep”, he added. Watch Talaash: A Mother’s Search, starring Parineeti Chopra, coming soon on Netflix.

Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma in Family Business

Hansal Mehta says Anil Kapoor-starrer Family Business is an original

Netflix’s upcoming corporate drama Family Business, announced as part of the Next On Netflix 2026 India slate, has drawn early comparisons with global hits like Succession and Billions. Director and co-creator Hansal Mehta has dismissed the chatter, calling such parallels “lazy comparisons,” and clarifying that a corporate backdrop doesn’t make every story a remake. The series stars Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma in the lead bringing the talented actors together on screen for the first time.  Hansal Mehta on Family Business being compared with Succession Talking about the comparisons with Succession, Mehta emphasized that Family Business is a wholly original Indian series, rooted in real corporate battles and family dynamics unique to the country’s socio-cultural and economic fabric. While he admires international shows in the genre, he stressed that the Netflix series has its own voice and identity and stands firmly on its own. About Family Business A visionary billionaire grooms a rising tycoon to take over the reins of India’s largest conglomerate as his successor. Months into the top job, he is unceremoniously fired where the mentor takes back the throne. Refusing to accept his downfall, the ousted successor strikes back, turning a corporate succession battle into a no-holds-barred war. Old secrets surface, alliances fracture, and the fight for control threatens to rip apart one of India’s most respected business empires, showing how quickly questions of legacy and blood can turn power into a personal vendetta. The official description of the show reads: “Family Business explores the deeply complicated and messy personal relationships that define every boardroom battle of a family of tycoons. What happens when inheritance becomes expectation, and legacies collide? It's a ride unlike any other in a world never seen before. We’re excited for audiences to get their first glimpse of this world through Next on Netflix, and we look forward to revealing more of the story in the months ahead.” Rhea Chakraborty makes her acting comeback Actress Rhea Charkaborty who has been on a sabbatical from the screen for some time now, is all set to return in Hansal Mehta's Family Business.  Rhea was last seen in the film Chehre, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi, which was released in 2021. Back then, despite noteworthy part, she was left out of its poster. She had shared that she felt shocked and shattered at the decision of the makers. Post that, she was seen in the reality TV show MTV Roadies in 2025 where she emerged as a winning gang leader. She returned as a gang leader in the show in 2025.

Amar Vishwas

Amar Vishwas: Rajeev Khandelwal prepares for high-stakes courtroom battle

Amazon MX Player, India’s leading free, premium, ad-supported video streaming service, today unveiled the trailer of its upcoming original series Amar Vishwas, a gripping courtroom drama that dives deep into the intersection of power, crime, and justice. Headlined by Rajeev Khandelwal in the titular role, alongside Ravi Behl, Aamir Ali and Barkha Bisht, the series sets the stage for a high-stakes courtroom battle where truth is elusive and justice comes at a steep price. Amar Vishwas trailer The trailer opens with the brutal murder of an influential film producer Jessu Momin, a case the media is quick to label as ‘open-and-shut’. Suspicion immediately falls on Bahar Chakravarty, a young woman already convicted by public perception. Stepping into the fray is Amar Vishwas, an unconventional and razor-sharp lawyer who knows that facts alone rarely reveal the full story. As Amar takes on Bahar’s defence, he begins to uncover layers of exploitation, manipulation, and long-buried secrets, revealing a conspiracy that runs deeper and darker than it first appears. Based on the acclaimed novels by Suhas Shirvalkar, Amar Vishwas is created and produced by Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartk D Nishandar under the banner of GSEAMS, makers of highly acclaimed show, Samantar. Amar Vishwas blends the intensity of courtroom drama with the grit of investigative crime. As the case unfolds, Amar finds himself pitted against formidable legal minds, including his own former mentor, while racing against time to establish the devious trio of motive, means, and opportunity. With every argument, cross-examination, and revelation, the series raises an unsettling question: Will the truth finally lead to justice? The cast talks about the series Sharing his thoughts on playing the lead, Rajeev Khandelwal said, “Amar Vishwas is far from a conventional courtroom hero. He’s flawed, instinctive, and driven by a deep sense of justice for those who don’t have a voice. What drew me to the role was the constant moral tension he lives with, where every truth uncovered comes with a price. The trailer only scratches the surface of the journey this character takes.” Aamir Ali, who plays a pivotal role in the series, added, “What makes Amar Vishwas compelling is how grounded the conflict feels. The characters live in grey zones, and the legal battles are as much about power and perception as they are about the law. Being part of a story that explores these layers has been incredibly rewarding.” Ravi Behl shared, “Amar Vishwas takes its time with the story and doesn’t rely on quick answers. It lets the characters and situations unfold naturally, keeping the audience engaged as the layers of the case are revealed. This measured pace is what gives the narrative its depth and staying power. I am really excited for audiences to experience this story” Amar Vishwas promises tense courtroom showdowns, layered investigations, and a central protagonist willing to bend the rules when the truth demands it. The series will stream exclusively on Amazon MX Player from 11th February 2026, available on the MX Player app, Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
