March 2026 promises to be a real holiday for film buffs and lovers of cozy evenings watching TV. A whole scattering of high-profile projects is launching on streaming services and in cinemas: from the daring adventures of young Sherlock Holmes to the full-length return of the gang from Birmingham. There is enough bright content for everyone, whether you are a fan of British style or good Russian fairy tales.
Top 3 series on streaming
First of all, Kinoafisha critics advised us to pay attention to Guy Ritchie’s “Young Sherlock,” which starts on Prime Video on March 4. The director decided to show us the great detective in those years when he was just a disgraced Oxford student. Starring Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, he is supported by heavyweights Colin Firth and Joseph Fiennes. Get ready for signature clip editing and global-scale conspiracies.
An equally high-profile event will be the release of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man on Netflix on March 20. This is not just a sequel, but a full-fledged return of Tom Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, to war-torn Birmingham. Screenwriter Steven Knight has assembled a star-studded force: the old-timers will be joined by Tim Roth and Barry Keoghan. The stakes are traditionally high – the future of the entire Shelby family is at stake.
For superhero fans, Disney+ has prepared the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, premiering on March 24. Matt Murdock will continue his war with Wilson Fisk, who is now aiming for big-time politics. Marvel fans are in for a pleasant surprise: Krysten Ritter’s return to the role of Jessica Jones.
What to see in cinemas
Domestic box office sales in March were led by fairy tales. On March 5, the sequel to the box office hit “The Frog Princess 2” will be released, where Ivan, performed by Alexander Metelkin, will save Vasilisa from the Tmutarakan kingdom. And on March 19, “Kuzya the Little Brownie 2” awaits young viewers and their parents.
This is interesting: the Andreasyan brothers’ studio has clearly struck a gold mine, mixing magic with modern realities. So, Baba Yaga, in the continuation of the adventures of the brownie Kuzi, suddenly joins the police.
Fans of serious cinema should wait until March 26, when The Secret Agent with Wagner Moura will be released. The film is already being called a favorite in the 2026 Oscar race. This is a deep drama about a fugitive scientist in Brazil in the 70s. The picture is also notable for the fact that it was the last work of the legendary Udo Kier.
For action fans, the Chinese blockbuster “Shadow Hunt” opens on March 12th. Despite his advanced age, Jackie Chan is still in action and demonstrates a master class in the thriller about brilliant robbers in Macau.
Horror, songs and dramas
If you want something truly unusual, don’t miss the movie “The Bride!” by Maggie Gyllenhaal (March 12). It’s a bold take on the Frankenstein story, starring Christian Bale as the monster. Unlike the classics, here the emphasis is on the bride, who turns out to be much more dangerous than her creator, and all this is in the format of a bright horror musical.
For those who prefer domestic stories about normal human feelings, a film adaptation of the bestseller “Tenderly To Yourself” will be released on March 5th. This is the story of Nadya, a surgeon, who learns to love herself again after a difficult divorce. A subtle and modern drama about how important it is to hear your own desires in time at the age of forty.
