From Beena Gupta To Tara Khanna, 5 Characters Returning In 2023

Without a doubt, OTT platforms have become a center where everyone looks for entertainment. Binge-watch shows have become favourite past-time, and also a mode of me-time. Now, the OTT is trying to provide content that is more relatable and delivered in a way that mesmerizes the viewer. 2023 also seems promising from the shows and films lined up ahead of the year. These shows are also said to have flawless performers with different stories to tell. 

The days when women on screen were damsels in distress who either suffered at the hands of the villain or waited for the hero to save them are long gone. Women who fight, survive, and make their own decisions—even if it means risking their lives—are now given complex roles in web series. Female actors have deep stories to tell and do not just act as a prop in the films. Few shows in 2022 also had such stories, and few performances telling these stories took the heart of the audience. Many wished that such web series never ended, and hoped that some of the female characters would return with new seasons. However, fans don't need to feel disheartened because few characters are returning with fresh story lines. 

Here's a list of such characters and shows.

New Seasons Of OTT Shows In 2023:

Beena Tripathi and Golu from Mirzapur Season 3

One of the most eagerly anticipated 2022 releases is Mirzapur Season 3. Fans are eagerly anticipating the returns of Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Divyenndu as Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit, and Munna Tripathi, respectively.

While the men in the show handle the weapons for the fights and killings, the drama is created by women, and these women's ferocious desires are what drive all of the conflict. The sassy women of Mirzapur own the city. This show belongs to its sturdy, strong-willed, and strong-headed women, from Rasika Dugal as Beena Tripathi to Isha Talwar as Madhuri Yadav to Shweta Tripathi as Golu Gupta. Fans are anticipating these characters' returns soon, in 2023.

Sikha and Purva from Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhein Season 2

Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein is unapologetically written from the viewpoint of the male protagonist, who discusses how a woman, money, and power can destroy people's lives. In Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen, Anchal Singh plays Purva, the daughter of a politician who develops feelings for Tahir Raj Bhasin's character and uses her connections to get what she wants. Viewers loved the character and could relate to her obsession, and they anticipated the return of the programme with Purva. The show will reportedly return with new season in 2023.
