These stories highlight struggles that often go unnoticed.
ZEE5 Global is starting 2026 with a chilling addition to its documentary slate, unveiling its new true crime docu-series Honeymoon Se Hatya.
The gripping series is set to premiere on January 9, 2026, promising an unsettling exploration of marriages that turned fatal behind closed doors.
Billed as a bold true crime offering, Honeymoon Se Hatya examines real-life cases where wives killed their husbands, asking one haunting and provocative question: why do women kill?
The docu-series moves beyond shocking headlines to explore the emotional, social and psychological pressures that pushed these women towards acts that stunned the nation.
Each story focuses on marriages that began with hope but gradually spiralled into violence, exposing realities often hidden from families, communities and society at large.
Without judgment or sensationalism, the series presents events exactly as they unfolded, encouraging viewers to reflect on complex domestic dynamics rather than rushing to easy conclusions.
Honeymoon Se Hatya revisits some of India’s most disturbing and widely discussed murder cases that sparked intense national debate and public scrutiny.
These include the Meghalaya Sonam Raja Raghuvanshi Case, the Meerut Blue Drum Case and the Bhiwani Influencer Case.
The series also explores the Mumbai Tile Case, known as the Nalasopara Tile Case, alongside the harrowing Delhi Electric Shock Case.
Through detailed factual narration, recreations, interviews and archival material, the docu-series offers a comprehensive account of each crime.
It also highlights recurring patterns of emotional trauma, control, suppression and desperation that often remain invisible until tragedy strikes.
The recently released teaser gives viewers a glimpse into the series’s tense atmosphere and emotional depth, setting the tone for what lies ahead.
Speaking about the project, Kaveri Das, Chief Channel Officer & TV and Business Head at ZEE5, shared insight into the platform’s evolving documentary vision.
She said the series marks an expansion into deeper, more emotionally charged stories that reflect the pressures shaping modern marriages.
Kaveri added that in today’s rapidly changing social landscape, understanding unseen fractures within relationships has never been more important.
She explained that these stories highlight struggles that often go unnoticed until it is too late, leaving lasting consequences for everyone involved.
According to Kaveri, viewers can expect a gripping show defined by realism, emotional intensity and insights that linger long after each episode ends.
She emphasised that Honeymoon Se Hatya is designed to provoke conversations around relationships, power dynamics and silent battles fought within homes.
The true crime docu-series invites audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about marriage, agency and the societal expectations placed on women.
Honeymoon Se Hatya will stream exclusively on ZEE5 Global from January 9, offering real cases and real consequences.
