Everything I'm watching this March
Or planning to, anyway.
This list is quite long. 9 new shows, 4 returning shows, and 3 movies. It's not an exhaustive list of everything that's coming out but it is everything that I'm looking forward to watching.
Our Flag Means Death S01 - March 3 on HBO Max
Taika Waititi's new series about a gentleman pirate starring Rhys Darby, Taika Waititi himself, Fred Armisen, and more. It'll definitely be hilarious, just like everything else with Taika's magic touch (you know they'd do a joke about a magic touch in What We Do in the Shadows)
The Dropout S01 - March 3 on Hulu
Amanda Seyfried plays Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in this biography series. There's a bunch of documentaries but given the scale of the fraud, I'm not surprised they're making a dramatized version of it.
The Boys: Diabolical S01 - March 4 on Prime Video
A spinoff of The Boys was inevitable but I didn't expect it to be an animated series that has a bunch of different styles. But it is The Boys and it's called Diabolical, so expectations are high on this one.
Pieces of Her S01 - March 4 on Netflix
Toni Collette playing a mother with a dark past. There's secrets, mystery, and definitely something criminal going on. It's an adaptation of a book that I hadn't heard about but it looks interesting.
Outlander S06 - March 6 on Starz
Can you believe it's been two years since the last season of Outlander? Caitríona Balfe is returning as Claire and Sam Heughan as Jamie. It's also going to be the second-last season of the show.
The Adam Project - March 11 on Netflix
Ryan Reynolds is playing a time-travelling pilot who teams up with himself as a kid and his dead father. Why not? I'll take a sci-fi movie with him in it where he doesn't die in the first act of the movie despite being heavily featured as a lead from the promos (I won't spoil which one it is, but if you know, you know).
Upload S02 - March 11 on Prime Video
Upload was one of the most fun sci-fi things I had seen in a long time. A virtual heaven where your consciousness 'lives' after you die? I mean, come on, it's a great concept. And Robbie Amell and Andy Allo had chemistry, even with one of them being a virtual consciousness and the other being alive. I was worried it wouldn't be renewed but it was and now it's returning after 2 years.
WeCrashed S01 - March 18 on Apple TV+
WeWork had a lot of drama behind the scenes so I'm looking forward to seeing their rise and fall in this show. It also has Jared Leto and Anne Hathway playing a couple at the center of it all, which is... interesting.
Fresh - March 18 on Hulu
It's already premiered at some festivals and got some interesting reviews. While the trailer doesn't say it, but there's a lot of winking going around with the title, the logline, the poster, and the select quotes they've been promoting to tell you Sebastian Stan might not be playing a regular old love interest for Daisy Edgar-Jones in this movie.
Windfall - March 18 on Netflix
IMDB's tagged it as a crime-drama-thriller but from the trailer, it looks like it has some dark humor too. It's about a break-in that goes wrong and it has Jesse Plemons, Lily Collins, and Jason Segel, three actors I definitely wanted to see in something together but didn't know I did until I watched it.
Halo S01 - March 24 on Paramount+
Could Halo be the rare good video game adaptation? I'm looking forward to finding out. Sci-fi and action are usually a good combination and it has Pablo Schreiber playing Master Chief.
Atlanta S03 - March 24 on FX/Hulu
Atlanta began in 2016 and it's been three long years since the second season came out. This season has been a long time coming since Donald Glover, LaKeith Stanfield, Brian Tyree Henry, and Zazie Beetz have been quite busy but it's finally returning.
Pachinko S01 - March 25 on Apple TV+
This book was a sensation when it came out in 2017. It won a bunch of awards, Roxanne Gay called it her best book of the year, it was on a ton of best-of lists. It follows four generations of a Korean family that emigrates to Japan. Apple bought the rights back in 2018 so it's been a long time in the making. The Terror's co-showrunner Soo Hugh is the showrunner, writer, and an executive producer and it stars Youn Yuh-jung, Lee Min-ho, Jin Ha, and Anna Sawai.
Bridgerton S02 - March 25 on Netflix
Bridgerton was one of Netflix's most popular shows and season 2 has been long awaited. In addition to everyone from season 1 returning, there are also a ton of new additions to the cast - Simone Ashley, Charithra Chandran, Shelley Conn, Rupert Young, Calum Lynch, Rupert Evans, and Austin the corgi.
The Girl From Plainville S01 - March 29 on Hulu
This show is inspired by Michelle Carter's unprecedented "texting-suicide" case. It's Elle Fanning's first role since she started playing Catherine the Great in The Great. I'm a little apprehensive about how they'll approach it but I'll definitely be giving it a watch.
Moon Knight S01 - March 30 on Disney+
Everyone's heard of Moon Knight and Oscar Issac, so you don't need me to say anything about it.
