Spring is the season of fresh starts, even on TV. One of the biggest TV debuts in March is Netflix's 3 Body Problem, a sci-fi series from David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, whose Game of Thrones ending still stings for people who cared about that sort of thing. Will this be the start of their redemption tour? We'll see. Netflix is also giving new life to Girls5eva, a fantastic Tina Fey-produced sitcom that was beloved on Peacock but can hopefully reach a wider audience on its new platform. If you like under-the-radar sitcoms, you should also check out Hulu's Extraordinary, which returns for Season 2. Other big premieres in March include HBO's The Regime, starring Kate Winslet as an agoraphobic European chancellor, and Apple TV+'s Palm Royale, starring Kristen Wiig as a social climber trying to break into Palm Beach high society.
Our guide to the best TV in March is divided into three sections: the best shows and movies to watch this month, the best shows to watch by streaming service, and a calendar of TV highlights. Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it below.
The Sandman has become the Spaceman. Adam Sandler's latest foray into dramatic acting sees him playing an astronaut who may be losing his damned mind. Six months into a lone mission in space and on the brink of insanity, he gets the psychological and emotional support he needs from a giant talking space spider (voiced by Paul Dano). So yeah, things are going just fine for him. Spaceman is based on the 2017 novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Czech author Jaroslav Kalfař. -Tim Surette [Trailer] [Review]
Finally, a Big Little Lies for Florida. Apples Never Fall, based on the bestselling novel by Big Little Lies author Liane Moriarty, stars Sam Neill and Annette Bening as Stan and Joy Delaney, a married couple of former tennis coaches, who've just sold their successful Florida tennis academy and are uneasily adjusting to retirement. When a wounded young woman knocks on their door one night, it sets off a chain of events that lead to Joy's disappearance, forcing the Delaneys' adult kids (Jake Lacy, Alison Brie, Conor Merrigan-Turner, and Essie Randles) to confront the family's secrets. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]
Peacock's hilarious comedy Girls5eva, about a '90s girl group that tries to make a comeback in current times, may have sung its final tune on that streamer, but Netflix scooped it up and will now air the first two seasons as well as an all-new six-episode third season. Produced by 30 Rock's Tina Fey and Robert Carlock and created by Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Meredith Scardino, it stars Sara Bareilles, Rene Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps, and Paula Pell and is all about trying to make it big even when your knees creak and the industry only wants to make stars out of teenagers. It also features one of TV's best theme songs. -Tim Surette [Trailer] [Review]
Part 1 of Invincible Season 2 wrapped up in late November 2023, leaving us to endure a long midseason break during the winter months. But spring is just around the corner, and with it comes the back half of Invincible's second season. The story picks up with Mark (Steven Yeun) at a crossroads, as the Viltrumites have captured his father, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons), and given Mark an ultimatum: Conquer the Earth or face deadly consequences. With only four episodes to go, this season feels like it's just getting started. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]
Before we even get to what Palm Royale is about, let's take a look at the cast list, which features Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Allison Janney, Kaia Gerber, Julia Duffy, Mindy Cohn, Bruce Dern, and Carol Burnett. A lineup that fabulous could sell a lesser show than this, but it helps that the premise lives up to the sparkly promise of the ensemble: The series follows a social climber named Maxine Simmons (Wiig) as she tries everything to break into Palm Beach high society in 1969, a time of massive upheaval in American culture. And again, it's got both Ricky Martin and Carol Burnett. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer] [Review]
Do you believe in second chances? I do, which is why I'm looking forward to the first show from David Benioff and D.B. Weiss since they massacred the final seasons of Game of Thrones. This time, the book they're adapting is complete, and it's a doozy: Cixin Liu's science fiction novel The Three-Body Problem, a sprawling, multiple-timeline story about a growing threat from a cold, cold place that divides a world into good and evil. Hmmm, OK, that sounds a bit like Game of Thrones, but swap out White Walkers for aliens. Here's everything we know about the series. -Tim Surette [Trailer] [Review]
Based on the bestselling novel by Georgia Hunter and inspired by the true story of the author's family, this historical limited series follows a Polish Jewish family separated at the start of World War II as they struggle against the odds to survive and reunite. Joey King and Logan Lerman star as siblings Halina and Addy Kurc; Lerman's character, Addy, a composer, is based on Hunter's grandfather. The subject matter is heavy, but King said at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that this Holocaust drama is ultimately optimistic, explaining, "It deals with a lot of pain and suffering and sadness, but there is a lot of hope in this show." Erica Lipez, executive producer of Max's Julia and Apple TV+'s The Morning Show, serves as showrunner; Hamilton and Fosse/Verdon director Thomas Kail directs. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]
What do you do after winning an Emmy for an intensely vulnerable comedy special? If you're Jerrod Carmichael, you make yourself the subject of a reality show. HBO describes it as "a darkly funny documentary series about Jerrod's tumultuous quest for love, sex, and truth," which seems to get at only a small part of what Carmichael is trying to accomplish, if the show's trailer is anything to go by. From uncomfortable conversations with his parents about his sexuality (Carmichael came out as gay in his 2022 special Rothaniel) to his experiences with dating, the comedian is to laying it all on the table for us to see as he uses this series to "self Truman Show" himself. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]
Netflix is hitting March hard. The streamer known for quantity over everything else is unloading dozens of new shows and movies that should catch your eye, including one of its biggest new IPs of the year, the sci-fi series 3 Body Problem, from the creators of Game of Thrones. Also big are Adam Sandler's movie Spaceman, Millie Bobby Brown's fantasy film Damsel, the Netflix debut of Girls5eva (previously a Peacock original), the final season of the Swedish teen drama Young Royals, and Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen, a TV series extension of his 2019 movie also called The Gentlemen. Here's our list of the best shows and movies on Netflix in March, plus everything coming to and leaving Netflix in March.
Outlander and The Crown's Tobias Menzies tackles American history for a change in Manhunt (March 15), a new Apple TV+ series about the hunt for John Wilkes Booth in the days after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. It's a perfect counterpoint to Apple TV+'s splashy, star-studded Palm Royale (March 20), in which Kristen Wiig plays a woman who would do anything to get in with the in crowd at the hottest country club in Palm Beach in 1969. Other big releases in March include Peacock's Apples Never Fall (March 14), which aims to be the next Big Little Lies; Disney+'s X-Men '97 (March 20), a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series; and AMC's Parish (March 31), starring Giancarlo Esposito as a family man with a special set of skills.
Lost in Space is an American science fiction television series, created and produced by Irwin Allen, which originally aired between 1965 and 1968 on CBS.[1] The series was inspired by the 1812 Johann David Wyss novel The Swiss Family Robinson. The series follows the adventures of the Robinsons, a pioneering family of space colonists who struggle to survive in the depths of space. The show ran for 83 episodes over three seasons. The first season comprised 29 one hour episodes, filmed in black and white. Seasons 2 and 3 episodes were shot in color.
On October 16, 1997, the United States is gearing up to colonize space. The Jupiter 2, a futuristic saucer-shaped spacecraft, stands on its launchpad undergoing final preparations. Its mission is to take a single family on a five-and-a-half year journey to an Earth-like planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri.
The Robinson family consists of Professor John Robinson (Guy Williams), his wife Maureen (June Lockhart), and their three children: Judy (Marta Kristen); Penny (Angela Cartwright); and Will (Bill Mumy). The family is accompanied by U.S. Space Corps Major Donald West (Mark Goddard). The Robinsons and Major West are to be cryogenically frozen for the voyage, and they are set to be unfrozen when the spacecraft approaches its destination.
Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris), Alpha Control's doctor, is revealed to be a saboteur working on behalf of an unnamed nation, with which he communicated under the code name Aeolis-14-Umbra. After disposing of a guard who catches him aboard the spacecraft, Smith reprograms the Jupiter 2's B-9 environmental control robot (Bob May, voiced by Dick Tufeld) to destroy critical systems on the spaceship eight hours after launch. Smith becomes trapped aboard at launch, however, and his extra weight throws the Jupiter 2 off course, causing it to encounter asteroids. This, plus the robot's rampage, causes the ship to prematurely engage its hyperdrive, and the expedition becomes hopelessly lost in the infinite depths of outer space. Smith's selfish actions and laziness frequently endanger the expedition, but his role assumes less sinister overtones in later parts of the series.
