March is overstuffed with new and returning shows—easily the biggest single-month haul since the start of the pandemic. 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.
