Everything That’s Streaming in March 2025

It’s Madness: new seasons of ‘Daredevil’, ‘Dark Winds,’ ‘The Righteous Gemstones,’…and the return of ‘Top Chef’

March is all over the place: it’s got Mardi Gras, Ramadan, Women’s History Month, St. Patrick’s Day and Lent, sending us on a month-long rollercoaster of partying, fasting, reading Mary Oliver poetry, binge-drinking and self-deprivation. Streaming services have something for every mood this month: get swept away by a third season of Dark Winds on AMC+, or fall down a psychedelic rabbit hole with Netflix’s Chaos: The Manson Murders. Netflix bets big on megabudget flick The Electric State starring Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown, and The Righteous Gemstones wrap up a glory-stompin’ run on Max. Read forward, left to right, for a comprehensive curated listicle of what’s hitting VoD platforms this month.

Netflix

Chaos: The Manson Murders (March 7) – Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line, Gates of Heaven) offers a stunning alternative theory about how one man’s followers killed seven people in one of America’s most infamous massacres: the 1969 Manson family murders. As if bloodthirsty acid-tripping hippies trying to incite a race war in the throes of apocalyptic madness wasn’t nuts enough, the documentary adapted from Tom O’Neill and Dan Piepenbring’s book Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties, reveals new links between the government, LSD, Charles Manson, Jack Ruby and prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, who wrote bestselling book Helter Skelter about the trial. Morris invites viewers to question the story’s powerful players in cultural context with gripping interviews, sinister reenactments and archival footage — set to Manson’s own music.

The Electric State (March 14) – Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt lead an elite ensemble cast in Netflix’s most expensive film yet: the Russo Brothers’ $300 million adaptation of Simon Stålenhag’s acclaimed graphic novel. Set in a retro-futuristic version of the 1990s, The Electric State finds orphaned teen Michelle journeying across a post-android-war American West with a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother. The film’s atomic-era details, ruined cities and desert landscapes (where the U.S. tested its nuclear bombs) echo a cold war fear of technology-led annihilation and build a tense landscape Michelle must navigate with the help of her friends. Also starring Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci.

The Residence Season 1 (March 20) – Shonda Rhimes’ new screwball whodunit drama follows eccentric detective Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba, Orange Is the New Black), who partners with an FBI agent (Randall Park) to rule out 157 suspects in a murder case during a White House State Dinner. Using Kate Andersen Brower’s book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House as a reference point, the series reveals the inner workings of public and private spaces in the world’s most famous mansion as staff and guests fall under Cordelia’s scrutiny. Also lending their names to the project are Bronson Pinchot playing a creepy chef, Giancarlo Esposito as the White House Chief Usher, and Kylie Minogue serving as the evening’s celebrity performer.

Adolescence (March 13) – Stephen Graham (Snatch) co-writes and stars in this wrenching limited series about a family’s world thrown into chaos when their 13-year-old son Jamie is accused of murdering his classmate. The film explores masculinity, misogyny, toxic online subcultures and bullying as Jamie’s parents, therapist and detectives search for answers. Owen Cooper’s portrayal of a seething, babyfaced teen in turmoil leaves a deep chill – and for some parents, an unsettling twinge of familiarity – long after the cops close the case.

Holland (March 27) – Nicole Kidman is heading another dark-side-of-suburbia thriller as teacher and homemaker Nancy Vandergroot, who lives an Instagram-perfect life in Holland, Michigan with her family – until she and her friend Dave (Gael García Bernal) uncover a twisted town secret that threatens to destroy their lives, and their idyllic community becomes a battleground for survival. The trailer sets up a shooter’s gallery of wooden housewife tropes in the unsubtle aim of knocking them down with the story’s later revelations: Nancy switches mustard in a recipe when she feels “crazy;” a cooking mishap resembles blood spray; the family endure pained meals in profile; a whirring kitchen mixer and a pumping sewing machine trade frantic closeups, etc. Will Kidman’s overstarched domesticity, meant to heighten the film’s more shocking elements, risk flattening and stiffening the story with visual clichés instead?

The Wheel of Time Season 3 (March 13) – Rosamund Pike returns to a third time-cycle of the high fantasy epic drawn from Robert Jordan’s fourth book in the series, called The Shadow Rising. Threats against the Light are indeed building: the White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah are roaming free, and old enemies have returned to the Two Rivers. After becoming the Dragon Reborn, Rand struggles to control his corrupted power and ties with old friends and allies begin to crumble. As the Forsaken pursue him, Rand’s relationship with Lanfear will mark a crucial turning point between Light and Dark, while former allies Moiraine and Egwene must work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark, no matter the sacrifice.

Bosch: Legacy Season 3 (March 27) – Titus Welliver is wrapping up his run as the eponymous detective-turned-P.I. in the continuation series of Amazon’s longest-running scripted show.

Meanwhile the murder investigation of his daughter’s kidnapper brings ruinous secrets to light as his boss races to become L.A.’s next District Attorney.

The disappearance of a family forces Bosch to confront the limits of justice, while LAPD rookie Maddie Bosch gets involved in a series of violent follow-home robberies. Maggie Q will return in her former Bosch role as LAPD detective Renée Ballard, with author Michael Connelly reassuring fans, “fear not, we are currently in production on the Renée Ballard show. And if you know anything about my books, then you know you have not seen the last of Harry Bosch!”

The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 (March 9) – The Gemstone clan is playing a closing hymn as Danny McBride’s dark comedy about the misanthropic televangelist family comes to an end – along with its remarkable music production, a fiery mix of covers and original folk gospel. Season four’s official logline reads, “When the spoiled Gemstone children finally get their wish to take control of the Church, they discover leadership is harder than they imagined and that their extravagant lifestyle comes with a heavy price.” Unready for responsibility, the kids hunt down Eli who has “retired” to a boat in the tropics while Uncle Baby Billy cooks up a TV show about the teenage years of Jesus Christ called “Teenjus.” Will & Grace star Megan Mullally will join this season’s cast as an old family friend of the Gemstones, and Sean William Scott (American Pie) will play her son.

Celtics City (March 3) – A new HBO documentary about the NBA’s most successful franchise, directed by Emmy winner Lauren Stowell, offers an unflinching retrospective of the team’s place amidst Boston’s racial tensions and examines the Celtics’ cultural impact over 75 years of court-scorching rivalries, triumphs, and setbacks. The series includes interviews with big names like Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Paul Pierce, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Stowell’s camera finds a sweeping sympathy between the athletic precision of once-in-a-lifetime sports moments and the franchise’s indelible, often fraught connection with the city of Boston and American history writ large.

Daredevil: Born Again (March 4) – Marvel TV is rebooting Netflix’s 2015 superhero series under showrunner Dario Scardapane (The Punisher), with Charlie Cox reprising his role as blind lawyer Matt Murdock-slash-masked vigilante Daredevil. A year after Murdock gave up his double life, he continues his fight for justice in court while former crime boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) runs for mayor of New York City. But when their past identities begin to resurface, Matt will need to reunite with official MCU members Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy (Elden Hensen) to clean up Hell’s Kitchen and face down his old enemy – with or without the mask.

David Blaine: Do Not Attempt (March 24) – David Blaine rematerializes from the early-aughts to travel the world learning sideshow tricks and stunts repackaged as “magic” in a strangely exoticized new series. The logline describes a “fascinating cultural exchange and a jaw-dropping journey where he meets with… kindred spirits who inspire and share with him exceptional skills (and secrets) — in Brazil, Southeast Asia, India, the Arctic Circle, South Africa and Japan.” Blaine promises “it will be the most intense journey of my life,” but the trailer sees Blaine veering closer to unremarkable Jackass activities like punching through boards, cracking bottles over his head, setting himself on fire, kissing a cobra, sticking a steak knife into his nose, and covering himself in bees.

Deli Boys (March 6) – When their wealthy father suddenly dies, two spoiled Pakistani American brothers – hardworking Mir (Asif Ali) and pothead Raj (Saagar Shaikh) – expect to inherit his deli franchise until they discover that it’s just a cover for his criminal activities.

Deli Boys also stars Iqbal Theba, Kevin Corrigan, Sakina Jaffrey and Geoffrey Arend (Super Troopers).
