‘Young Sherlock’ (March 4, Prime Video)
Over a decade on from his “Sherlock Holmes” movies, Guy Ritchie is back with another series inspired by the world’s greatest detective: Prime Video’s new “irreverent, action-packed” mystery series, which charts Sherlock Holmes’ origins, long before the game was truly afoot. As the name indicates, “Young Sherlock” is all about Holmes’ early days, and takes us back in time to 1870s Oxford, to introduce a young, defiant Sherlock (played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin). After crossing paths with none other than James Moriarty (“The Wheel of Time’s” Dónal Finn), Sherlock finds himself dragged into a murder investigation, and as he starts to unravel the case, his investigation spirals out into a globe-trotting conspiracy. — Martin Shore

Set against the backdrop of M’s liberal-arts campus, the seductive drama also features Jessica Henwick, Kayli Carter, Matt Walsh and Ellen Robertson. — Christina Izzo

‘Rooster’ (March 8, HBO)
Greg Russo (Steve Carell) is an author who heads to a college campus to help his daughter and professor Katie (Charly Clive) through a personal crisis: her husband has left her for a grad student. Russo is there at first to offer support for Katie, but that quickly changes when he’s swept into campus politics, the everyday lives of the students who attend the college, and making something of himself while working to help pick up the pieces of his daughter’s life. It’s a Steve Carell show after all, so things are either going to tug at your heartstrings or make you laugh your head off at some point. – Brittany Vincent

‘One Piece’ season 2 (March 10, Netflix)
After Netflix’s acclaimed live-action “One Piece” became a big summer hit back in 2023, we’re finally setting sail alongside Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) for another season of this high-seas pirate adventure. Season 2 sees the Straw Hats setting sail for The Grand Line, a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn, and as they journey through this unpredictable corner of the realm in pursuit of the King of the Pirates’ sought-after treasure, they’ll explore bizarre islands and exciting new locations, face deadlier quests and cross paths with fiercer foes unlike any that they’ve faced on their journey so far. — MS

American siblings Martin and Vicki Marvin (Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden) head to Sydney, planning to turn their spray tan startup into a real business. Things go ridiculously off the rails when they end up tangling with the criminal underworld of Australia. Of course, it doesn’t help that at least one of them is looking to win back his wife Joyce (Ra Chapman) by running a successful venture while she languishes at a dead-end job headed by an incompetent boss. It isn’t immediately obvious how they’ll get out of the sticky situations, but this black comedy is sure to explore all the attempts. – BV

Based on Patricia Cornwell’s long-running book series, this exploration of Scarpetta’s return to a job she left long ago begins with a new murder that requires her expertise. Interestingly, it has several ties to her very first case that gives her pause, as she works alongside her sister Kay (Jamie Lee Curtis and her daughter (Ariana DeBose), and a former detective (Bobby Cannavale) to set things right. It’s a star-studded book adaptation that seems set to stick the landing. – BV

‘The Madison’ (March 14, Paramount+)
If you’re sad that “Yellowstone” is gone, don’t fret. Not only are we getting “Marshals” this month, but we’re getting another show in the Sheridanverse: “The Madison.” While this show is no longer part of the “Yellowstone” canon, it’s still a neo-Western drama from Taylor Sheridan, set in Montana, so it’s going to scratch the same itch. It also features a killer cast. Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell star as Stacy and Preston Clyburn. They’ve relocated from New York City to the Madison River valley of southwest Montana following a tragedy that crushed the family prior to the events of the show. — Malcolm McMillan

‘Invincible’ season 4 (March 18, Prime Video)
If you haven’t been following “Invicible” you’re missing out. The animated adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s legendary comic book has delivered some incredible — and incredibly devastating — moments. It stars Steven Yeun as the voice of Mark Grayson, a college student who leads a double life as the superhero Invincible. That’s not his only secret, though. He’s also a half-Viltrumite, half-human, and the Viltrumite side of his family is about to arrive on Earth with an invasion force, led by Thragg (Lee Pace). — MM

‘Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat’ (March 20, Prime Video)
Prime Video struck TV gold the first time around with “Jury Duty, a reality-hoax sitcom padding a fake jury trial with professional comedians, actor James Marsden and one perfectly cast — and delightfully gullible — target in layman Ronald Gladden. The Amazon streamer aims to hit it big yet again with the comedy’s follow-up installment, this time focused on a new unsuspecting star: Anthony, a temporary worker attending the very eventful and totally fake annual company retreat for hot sauce company Rockin’ Grandma’ alongside the brand’s outlandish employees. — CI

‘The Comeback’ season 3 (March 22, HBO)
It’s been two decades since Lisa Kudrow introduced the world to the ingeniously delusional creation that is sitcom actress Valerie Cherish, via HBO’s cult-favorite satire series “The Comeback,” co-created by Kudrow and Michael Patrick King. Now, 12 years after fans last caught up with Cherish, she’s back in this long-anticipated third season, starring in a new multi-camera comedy written entirely by AI (of course). Expect splashy guest stars like Andrew Scott, Abbi Jacobson and John Early. — CI
Premieres March 22 on HBO and HBO Max
‘Daredevil: Born Again’ season 2 (March 24, Disney+)
“Daredevil: Born Again” season 1 got off to a rocky start, but by the end of the nine-episode run, “Daredevil: Born Again” finally delivered the show I wanted the whole time. Now, in season 2, we’re picking up right where we left off. Blind lawyer and secret vigilante Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox) is gathering allies to fight back against the villainous Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) and his Anti-Vigilante Task Force. One of those allies will be a familiar face to fans of the Netflix Marvel shows: Krysten Ritter is returning to Marvel as Jessica Jones. — MM
Premieres March 24 on Disney+
‘Bait’ (March 25, Prime Video)
Riz Ahmed has wowed us in more dramatic roles, but now it’s his turn to show off his comedic chops as Shah Latif, a struggling actor whose last shot at making it in the big leagues comes in the form of a special audition. Weirdly enough, it looks a whole lot like a bid to become the next James Bond. The moment word gets out, Shah’s life changes at Mach speed when his family, his ex and basically everyone around him try to get in on his success. This series, which explores what happens to Latif over four days, is probably what it’s like for every actor when the entire world wonders if they’re actually able to handle their latest and greatest role. – BV

‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen’ (March 26, Netflix)
Executive produced by “Stranger Things” creators, the Duffer Brothers, “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen” is a horror series that caught my immediate attention the first time I watched its seriously chilling teaser. My interest intensified when creator and showrunner Haley Z. Boston described its tone as falling between “Carrie” and “Rosemary’s Baby.” It follows a couple, Rachel (Camila Morrone) and Nicky (Adam DiMarco), in the lead-up to their wedding day. Set over the course of the week, something very bad is going to happen before they can walk down the aisle. A horror series in March might seem a little out of season, but I’m completely sold. — Rory Mellon
Premieres March 26 on Netflix
‘For All Mankind’ season 5 (March 27, Apple TV)
Apple’s stellar space drama returns for a fifth season that jumps to 2012, years after the daring Goldilocks asteroid heist, with Happy Valley now a thriving Martian colony. Earth wants to maintain control, but the Red Planet has other plans. Ed Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman) may be older, but his grandson Alex (Sean Kaufman) leads a younger generation declaring, “Mars is ours!” Meanwhile, Ed’s daughter Kelly Baldwin (Cynthy Wu), Aleida Rosales (Coral Peña) and Helios founder Dev Ayesa (Edi Gathegi) plan to push humanity further into the solar system. — KW
