March is bringing a powerhouse lineup of prestige TV, from lavish historical dramas to razor-sharp Hollywood satire. Whether you're in the mood for Marvel action, Tudor intrigue, or a screwball White House murder mystery, here’s your ultimate guide to the must-watch shows this month.
1. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+ – March 4 US / March 5 UK)
The Man Without Fear is back! Charlie Cox reprises his role as Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer-by-day, vigilante-by-night, alongside Vincent D’Onofrio’s menacing Kingpin, now New York’s mayor. Jon Bernthal also returns as the brutal Punisher, ensuring this revival packs a punch.
Why watch? If you loved the gritty Netflix original, this Disney+ reboot promises the same street-level brutality—just with more MCU ties.
2. The Leopard (Netflix – March 5)
A sweeping adaptation of Giuseppe di Lampedusa’s classic novel, this six-part epic revisits 1860s Sicily amid Italy’s unification. Kim Rossi Stuart stars as the fading aristocrat Prince Salina, while Deva Cassel (Monica Bellucci’s daughter) dazzles as his nephew’s lover.
Why watch? If The Crown met War and Peace in the Mediterranean, this would be it.
3. Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney (Netflix – March 12)
John Mulaney’s absurdist, retro-inspired talk show returns with 12 live episodes, featuring surprise guests (Will Ferrell, David Letterman) and bizarre LA-centric segments (remember the coyotes?).
Why watch? It’s Late Night meets Tim & Eric—unpredictable, hilarious, and utterly Mulaney.
4. Adolescence (Netflix – March 13)
Stephen Graham stars in this real-time psychological thriller about a father (Graham) whose 13-year-old son is accused of murder. Each of the four episodes is shot in one continuous take, ramping up the tension.
Why watch? If Boiling Point had a baby with The Killing, this would be it.
5. Long Bright River (Peacock – March 13)
Amanda Seyfried plays a Philadelphia cop searching for her missing sister (Ashleigh Cummings), a sex worker caught in the opioid crisis. Based on Liz Moore’s bestselling novel (praised by Barack Obama!), this is part crime thriller, part family tragedy.
Why watch? Mare of Easttown vibes with a deeper dive into addiction and redemption.
6. Dope Thief (Apple TV+ – March 14)
Ridley Scott directs the premiere of this gritty crime drama starring Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura as small-time crooks who accidentally rob a cartel. Think The Wire meets Breaking Bad.
Why watch? Henry and Moura bring heart to a high-stakes criminal underworld.
7. Good American Family (Hulu – March 19 / Disney+ UK – May 7)
Ellen Pompeo and Mark Duplass star in this true-crime drama about a couple who adopt a Ukrainian orphan (Imogen Faith Reid)—only to suspect she’s not a child at all.
Why watch? If The Act and Orphan had a morally ambiguous lovechild.
8. The Residence (Netflix – March 20)
From Shonda Rhimes, this screwball White House murder mystery stars Uzo Aduba as a detective solving a killing amid a state dinner. With 157 suspects (including Giancarlo Esposito’s corpse), it’s Knives Out meets Scandal.
Why watch? A rare political comedy that doesn’t take itself seriously.
9. Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light (PBS – March 23)
The long-awaited finale to Hilary Mantel’s Tudor saga sees Mark Rylance return as Thomas Cromwell, navigating Henry VIII’s court post-Anne Boleyn. Damian Lewis and Jonathan Pryce reprise their roles in this masterclass in historical drama.
Why watch? If you loved The Crown but crave more beheadings.
10. The Studio (Apple TV+ – March 26)
Seth Rogen stars in this hilarious Hollywood satire as a studio exec forced to greenlight a Kool-Aid movie (yes, really). Cameos from Scorsese, Charlize Theron, and Steve Buscemi make this The Player for the Barbie era.
Why watch? A biting, star-studded roast of Hollywood insanity.
Final Verdict
From Sicilian aristocracy to Tudor treachery and Hollywood absurdity, March’s TV lineup is stacked with must-see drama. Which show are you binging first?
