New seasons of established web franchises like Mirzapur and Kota Factory are topping the charts on video-streaming platforms, mirroring a box-office trend where film sequels such as Stree 2, Gadar 2, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 were big hits.

According to media consultancy Ormax, the most-watched Hindi web series of 2024 is Mirzapur season 3 on Amazon Prime Video, with a viewership of 30.8 million, followed by season 3 of Panchayat, on the same platform, with a viewership of 28.2 million.

The list of the top 15 series includes the third season of Kota Factory (15.8 million) on Netflix, season 2 of Taaza Khabar (15.3 million), the fifth season of The Legend of Hanuman (15.2 million) and season 3 of Mismatched (14.7 million).

Industry experts say established fan base certainly helps good openings for successive seasons of web shows, but it is equally possible for fans to get disappointed and for shows to not get renewed despite plans for another season.
