It's Monday and our guide to the week's best new shows and movies is here to help you plan your viewing in what's looking like an extra busy week for great new releases!
The new season of Daredevil: Born Again is leading the pack, taking us back to a New York City that's still under threat from Kingpin. But if you're more of a music fan then there's also the new BTS documentary, as well as Wicked: For Good – the second half of the blockbuster Wizard of Oz-themed adventure. On Apple TV there's a new season of For All Mankind, and we've thrown in a couple of other great picks too.
So yeah, a busy week across some of the best streaming services. If you're looking for even more recommendations then make sure to check out our guides to everything new on Netflix in March 2026, as well as our guide to the best Paramount Plus movies, and the best Hulu shows.
Daredevil: Born Again season 2
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Disney Plus
The bruising Marvel show returns for a dark and thrilling second run. The villainous Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) has seized control of New York City and Matt (Charlie Cox) and Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) have been forced to fight back from the shadows. Can Daredevil finally bring the Kingpin down?
We enjoyed Born Again's first year, but there was little doubt it was a show that suffered from a few behind-the-scenes issues, which led to a slightly choppy arc. Season 2 feels much more assured, offering a run of episodes as visceral and intense as the show's original Netflix run.

Wicked: For Good
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Peacock
The second half of this mega-popular fantasy musical wraps up the story of Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), two rival witches turned best friends who are now divided because of the machinations of the corrupt Wizard of Oz. Elphaba is on the run but has plans to strike back against the Wizard and clear her name.
Wicked: For Good may not pack quite as much punch as its first half (and it certainly doesn't have any songs that are the match of 'Defying Gravity' from the first film), but it's a satisfying and touching conclusion to the story, with a few neat surprises and some unexpected twists on the Oz lore.

Something Very Bad is Going to Happen
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Netflix
A wedding goes very wrong indeed in this new horror series from showrunner Haley Z. Boston, and executive producers the Duffer Brothers – that's right, the Stranger Things guys.
Nicky (Adam DiMarco) and Rachel (Camila Morrone) are planning to get married. Nicky suggests that they head to his parents' vacation cabin in the woods – a sentence that should immediately set the alarm bells ringing – when things take a strange turn. Nick's in-laws are a bunch of weirdoes, the house is a sinister pile, and Rachel starts to suspect she may have made a very bad choice in saying yes to Nicky. It's safe to say that this looks like a creepy new take on the relationship drama.

Mercy
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Prime Video
Chris Pratt stars in this new sci-fi movie from director Timur Bekmambetov. He plays LAPD Detective Chris Raven in a future where artificial intelligence judges are used to try defendants for violent offenses. Raven is a staunch defender of this controversial system – until he is accused of murdering his wife Nicole, that is. Now he has only has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to AI Judge Maddox or he'll be executed.
Mercy is riffing on similar themes to several beloved previous movies – notably Robocop and Minority Report. It's not a patch on either of those bangers, but it's timely, using zeitgeisty themes like the ubiquity of doorbell camera footage, to tell an intriguing sci-fi thriller.

For All Mankind season 5
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Apple TV
With Foundation, Pluribus, and For All Mankind Apple TV has really made a name for itself as the home of smart, cerebral science fiction. For All Mankind is the longest running of these, with its fifth season starting this week. If you've not seen the show before, it takes place in a world where the Russians won the space race, leading history to take a very different path.
Each season of the show is set over the course of a decade. In the new series, we're spending a lot of time at the now well-established Happy Valley colony on Mars. Conflict is brewing with Earth, however, leading to ever-escalating tension. This is gripping, intelligent TV.
Our guide to the best Apple TV shows is packed full of unmissable TV choices.
BTS: The Return
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Netflix
This documentary offers an inside look at the world's biggest boyband as they work to complete their first full-group album in four years, ARIRANG. BTS: The Return starts in mid-2025, several weeks into the band's two-month stay in Los Angeles where they recorded the album (their first since the band took a hiatus because of their mandatory military enlistment) before moving to Seoul where it was completed.
Directed by Bao Nguyen, The Return is focused on the real work of creativity, detailing the evolution of the songs and the many different takes they go through as the band try to make a great album. Because of that there's much to admire in this compelling documentary, even if you're not a hardcore fan of the band.
