There is nothing more thrilling than holding out for a show you’ve been waiting for to drop. To that end, March brings plenty for pop culture enthusiasts from every corner of the globe to be excited about—especially considering the slate of entertainment that awaits us all this month.
First up, the return of the one and only Birmingham gang leader: Thomas Shelby. The man who nearly had it all, before he nearly lost it all. Four years on from the end of the seminal series in 2022, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man calls upon his return, and we’re geared up for another war on the way. This time around, it’s calling upon some other key star players, including Rebecca Ferguson and Jay Lycurgo.
It’s also a huge month for K-pop fans, specifically ARMYs. Spring beckons the return of the world’s biggest K-pop group, BTS, and Netflix is releasing a special comeback live of the septet’s first official performance together since their military era, where they’ll be singing tunes of Arirang, their upcoming fifth studio album. And that’s far from all in music land. Harry Styles, set to return with his album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, will also be filming his first show in nearly three years (happening in Manchester), and it’s sure to be a riot for the masses.
As for the K-drama enthusiasts in the crowd? Jisoo’s highly-anticipated romcom Boyfriend on Demand, where she stars opposite Seo In-guk, will soon be with us. Meanwhile, HBO Max’s Mad Concrete Dreams will be rewarding us with a whacky thriller centred around one man’s skewed decision to buy a building and drive himself into debt.
And there’s only more to anticipate this month, between riveting thrillers surrounding feminine shame and rage à la Apple TV+’s Imperfect Women as well as Brendan Fraser’s tender portrait of a foreigner living in Japan in Rental Family. Here, some of the must-watch titles to stream in March 2026, all streaming on Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+ and HBO Max.

But this return means a lot more than that, for the man who once nearly had everything. Expect the stakes of war to be different too, especially with a whole new cast of faces such as Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan and Jay Lycurgo.
