On June 11, 'Sweet Magnolias' returns for its fifth season with ten new episodes, while 'Viral Hit' arrives as a live-action adaptation of the popular webtoon.

The biggest Netflix release of the week, however, is 'Bhooth Bangla ' (June 12). The horror-comedy stars Akshay Kumar, Tabu and Wamiqa Gabbi and marks another collaboration between Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan.
