Dystopia takes centre stage on OTT this week. From the eerie, high-paying job at the heart of Dead-End Job to the fight for survival in Apocalypse Z: New World, fans of darker, end-of-the-world stories have plenty to add to their watchlists. But there’s room for a change of mood, too. Meethe Mein Kya Hai brings a Diwali family reunion to the screen, while The One About Matthew Perry offers a more personal look at the life and legacy of the beloved Friends star.
Crime drama, psychological horror and anime round out the selection. And if Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 has been on your watchlist, this is a good time to catch up on its return to Night City. Whether you’re in the mood for suspense, a festive family story or something emotionally absorbing, here’s our curated guide to the latest OTT releases and recent arrivals to help you plan your weekend.

3. The One About Matthew Perry (Netflix | October 27)
This three-part documentary series looks beyond Matthew Perry’s iconic portrayal of Chandler Bing in Friends, bringing together memories from his family, lifelong friends and creative collaborators.

This crime thriller follows detective Jonah Lynn and his protégé Saga Bauer as they investigate a case linked to notorious serial killer Jurek Walter. With Stephen Graham, Liev Schreiber and Zazie Beetz leading the cast, the series builds its suspense around an investigation that reaches into the past and puts the search for answers under pressure.
5. Apocalypse Z: New World (Prime Video | October 30)
The post-apocalyptic story continues in this Spanish thriller, where a rabies-like infection transforms the world into a dangerous place for survivors. The story follows Manel and his cat as they are forced to leave the relative safety of home and navigate an increasingly hostile landscape. A sequel to Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End, it brings survival tension and an unsettling pandemic premise to the week’s lineup.
6. Obsession (JioHotstar | October 30)
Curry Barker’s supernatural horror film follows a young man who uses a mysterious object in the hope of winning his crush’s affection.

A Hindi version has also been reported; check the platform listing for available audio options.
7. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 (Netflix | October 20 — Recent Arrival)
Returning to the neon-lit world of Night City, this standalone 10-episode anime follows a new crew navigating a city shaped by technology, ambition and danger. The series offers another story set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. It’s a recent arrival rather than a release from this week’s window, but a natural addition for anime and sci-fi fans.
