This month on the small screen, a beloved Marvel superhero returns, a gumshoe unravels a screwball whodunit, and our favorite family of televangelists begin their farewell tour. Here are the new and returning shows to check out this March.
“Daredevil: Born Again”
Series premiere: March 4 on Disney+
Seven years after Netflix aired the finale of Drew Goddard’s “Daredevil,” the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is returning to the Disney mothership. Charlie Cox doesn’t shy away from the Catholic guilt and gritty physicality of Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer who fights crime by night—aided by Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll). Also returning for the revival are Vincent D’Onofrio as brawny crime lord Wilson Fisk and Jon Bernthal as lethal vigilante the Punisher. Dario Scardapane, Matt Corman, and Chris Ord created the new series.
How to Get Cast on ‘Daredevil: Born Again’“Deli Boys”
Series premiere: March 6 on Hulu
Abdullah Saeed’s new comedy follows a pair of Pakistani American brothers who are heirs to a convenience store business. But after their father dies, they discover that he led a double life as a crime lord. “Deli Boys” features Asif Ali (“WandaVision”) as the responsible Mir Dar and Saagar Shaikh (“Ms. Marvel”) as his wild-child brother, Raj. Based on the trailer, Ali and Shaikh’s edgy, odd-couple chemistry looks to be a perfect fit for the show’s darkly comedic tone—and its eye-popping violence. We’ve also got our eye on one guest star in particular: “Queer Eye” fashion guru Tan France, who makes his scripted TV debut as a London gang leader. It’ll be fun to see whether France’s fastidious persona will inform his character.
“Dark Winds”
Season premiere: March 9 on AMC and AMC+
Graham Roland’s psychological thriller returns for its third season with more chilling crime stories set in the American Southwest. Zahn McClarnon stars as the dogged, haunted Joe Leaphorn, a Navajo Tribal Police lieutenant investigating the mysterious disappearance of two boys. The actor is one of television’s true MVPs; you’ve probably caught his performances on shows like “Reservation Dogs,” “Echo,” and “The Son.” Kiowa Gordon and Jessica Matten co-star. This season also features guest stars including Jenna Elfman (“Dharma & Greg”) and Bruce Greenwood (“The Fall of the House of Usher”).
“The Righteous Gemstones”
Season premiere: March 9 on HBO
Pass the offering plate one last time for TV’s funniest—and most corrupt—holy rollers on the fourth and final season of Danny McBride’s televangelist comedy. We’ll miss the whole amoral Gemstone clan, including patriarch Eli (John Goodman) and his sons Jesse (McBride) and Kelvin (Adam Devine). But let’s shout a special hallelujah for Edi Patterson’s hilarious performance as their insecure sister, Judy. Unhinged? Absolutely. Delusional? You bet. Entertaining? Amen.
How to Get Cast on ‘The Righteous Gemstones’“Dope Thief”
Series premiere: March 14 on Apple TV+
This crime drama from Peter Craig (“Top Gun: Maverick”) is based on Dennis Tafoya’s 2009 crime novel. Oscar nominee Brian Tyree Henry and “Narcos” star Wagner Moura play two friends who pose as DEA agents in a bid to pull off a robbery. It would be a clever plan if they didn’t make the fatal error of stealing from a massive drug operation. Henry and Moura both have experience carrying high-stakes thrillers. But keep an eye out for Marin Ireland’s performance, too; her chilling turn in William Oldroyd’s 2023 film “Eileen” is a must-watch. The ensemble also includes Ving Rhames (“Mission: Impossible”) and Kate Mulgrew (“Orange Is the New Black”).
“The Residence”
Series premiere: March 20 on Netflix
Uzo Aduba solving a whodunit at the White House: what an irresistible premise. The Emmy winner stars as Cordelia Cupp, a brilliant, eccentric detective charged with investigating a high-stakes murder at a state dinner. Aduba has proved she can do it all, from quirky, heartbreaking comedy (“Orange Is the New Black”) to cerebral maneuvering (“In Treatment”), so viewers are in good hands. The stacked ensemble includes Randall Park, Giancarlo Esposito, Al Franken, Jane Curtin, Ken Marino, Eliza Coupe, Taran Killam, Bronson Pinchot, and pop icon Kylie Minogue, who plays herself. Paul William Davies (“Scandal,” “For the People”) created the series.
“The Studio”
Series premiere: March 26 on Apple TV+
Seth Rogen stars in this industry comedy, which he created alongside Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez. He plays Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of the struggling Continental Studios, where he finds himself battling to keep the company afloat in a rapidly changing Hollywood landscape. The cast features a who’s-who of comedy greats, including Catherine O’Hara (“Schitt’s Creek”), Kathryn Hahn (“Agatha All Along”), Ike Barinholtz (“The Mindy Project”), and Chase Sui Wonders (“Generation”). A litany of A-listers also appear as versions of themselves, including Steve Buscemi, Charlize Theron, and Martin Scorsese.
“Survival of the Thickest”
Season premiere: March 27 on Netflix
No funny bone is safe when Michelle Buteau is around. Based on her 2020 memoir of the same name, “Survival of the Thickest” returns for its second season later this month. “Relatable” might be an overused word these days, but, heck, you can’t help but identify with Buteau’s Mavis Beaumont as she balances love and ambition in the big city. She’s warm, witty, and altogether magnetic. Returning castmates include Tone Bell, Tasha Smith, and Peppermint. Buteau co-created the show with Danielle Sanchez-Witzel.
