Among other titles the month ahead will bring the long-awaited sci-fi series based on the Halo game franchise, the return of what might be TV's best comedy series (Atlanta), a new pirate comedy from the creator of What We Do in the Shadows, Adam McKay's dramatized look at the 1980s Lakers, a new Marvel series and Pixar film on Disney+, spinoffs from The Boys and Big Mouth, and new seasons of Bridgerton and Star Trek: Picard. In the gallery on this page, our editors have selected the most interesting TV and movie titles debuting at home in the next month, listed in order by premiere date.

74 Starstruck (2021): Season 2

Season 2 debuts March 24 on HBO Max

One of 2021's under-the-radar gems, this British millennial rom-com (streaming in the States on HBO Max, where you can catch up on season 1 right now) is created by New Zealand-born comedian Rose Matafeo, who plays a single 20-something woman juggling various low-paying jobs in London. A seemingly ordinary one-night stand on New Year's Eve turns out to be anything but—somehow unbeknownst to her, the man (Nikesh Patel) she goes home with is a major movie star—and their resulting on-again, off-again, seemingly impossible relationship plays out over the course of a year during the first season's six episodes. This follow-up season (again at the UK-standard length of six episodes) picks up immediately following the events of last year's finale, resolving that episode's outstanding questions. The new season has already aired in the UK, where reviewers once again had plenty of praise for the sharp writing, the stars' charm and chemistry, and the show as a whole.
