when downloading movies, series and anime they mostly come in those formats. Can they contain virus? if yes, do they get detected with antivirus?

for the most part, you’re safe; because media files aren’t executable (like exe, appimage, etc) including a virus in the file wouldn’t do much. there could be a zero-day (e.g buffer overflow in the media file that exploits a flaw in the player/decoder, but that isn’t anywhere near as common as including malware in executable files.
