Slow down during this post-festive season as March becomes busier, and this watchlist proves it. This month gives you long-overdue returns and buzzy new releases. Stories get bigger, characters become more complex, and fan favourites come back to the spotlight.
From the return of the red right hand of the Birmingham gang, the Peaky Blinders, to BTS’ reunion on the big screen after a two-year hiatus, March makes a convincing argument to stay indoors—no matter the chaos, drama, or chuckles that keep it all in check.
Here’s what to add to your watchlist.
In this new take on the classic Frankenstein story, Frank (Christian Bale), a lonesome monster, makes a request for companionship. Set in 1930s Chicago, Dr Euphronius (Annette Bening) brings back from the dead a murdered woman named Ida (Jessie Buckley).
Reincarnated without any memories of her former life, Ida is wild. The couple ventures on a daring trip, living in a world of fear and misunderstanding. They battle rival mobs and evade corrupt cops as they navigate Chicago’s gangster underworld.
Project Hail Mary is more than just a sci-fi movie; it’s a story that mixes scientific concepts with the hazardous survival of deep space. Directed by the acclaimed filmmaking duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, it follows Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), a lowly science teacher who wakes up alone on a faraway spacecraft with no recollection of his memories.
Struggling with feelings of isolation and fear, Grace must devise some serious solutions or risk endangering Earth. On this mission, he also meets Rocky, an alien with unique biology and an odd way of communicating. The duo eventually form an unlikely partnership to overcome a crisis that threatens both of their worlds.
Known for her leading role in Scream VI, Samara Weaving returns as Grace for a tense survival thriller. After narrowly escaping the brutal games that nearly killed her, Grace thought that the nightmare was truly over. In this sequel, she contends with a new ritual in which four elite families hunt down her estranged sister, Faith (Kathryn Newton).
Members of the four families pursue the sisters, intent on eliminating them before dawn, using sinister traps to claim the ‘High Seat’. After the death of the LeDomas family, the power to control the council and reign over the world awaits whoever survives the hunt. So, viewers can expect inventive kills, blood-soaked rites, and deliciously dark humour.
English filmmaker Guy Ritchie explores the origins of a mind that would eventually become legendary. Hero Fiennes Tiffin stars as a young Sherlock Holmes. It all begins with a mere curiosity that spirals into a family mystery filled with much more danger than he predicts.
While forming early rivalries and alliances at Oxford, Holmes discovers a larger conspiracy. The investigation puts him and those around him in danger as he exposes hidden schemes. It’s a suspense-filled series that showcases the early skills of the iconic fictional detective.
The past will never let go, and neither will he. Cillian Murphy reprises his role as Tommy Shelby in this film continuation of the British television series. Self-exiled in 1940s Birmingham during World War II, Tommy grapples with the remnants of his poor decisions.
Meanwhile, his estranged son Duke is caught up in a Nazi-backed scheme to bring down Britain. With old rivalries and family tensions standing in the way, Tommy must secure his own family’s legacy as his merciless son threatens to destroy everything he once built.
