Of course, many more are waiting for a release. One waits for a formal announcement along with the release dates.
Joginder Tuteja gives us the line-up.
Breathe 2, Amazon Prime
Breathe was special as a 2018 release.

Now, with Abhishek Bachchan stepping into the arena, Amit has reportedly toughened up even more in this Vikram Malhotra and Mayank Sharma created series.
Abhay 2, ZEE5
When Abhay released last year, it was a pleasant surprise with Kunal Kemmu doing exceedingly well as a brooding UP cop out to solve the deadliest crimes.
Every episode of this Ken Ghosh created series threw up a new case. Kunal's personal story raised intrigue as well.
The crimes are expected to take an even more evil route in the second season.
