The Wheel of Time: Season 3 (March 13)

Based on Robert Jordan’s juggernaut fantasy series, this swords-and-prophecies saga has certainly taken a backseat in Prime Video’s spendy catalogue when compared to the hefty LOTR prequel series. Is anyone really tuning into either show? It’s hard to say, but I sure do like revisiting Travis Johnson’s ouch-worthy review of season one: “It’s the sort of terrible that can lull you into thinking it might get good any episode now, and so you settle into a couch stupor and before you know it, a page has fallen off the calendar and your life is no better for it.” Yeesh! Couch stupor sounds pretty good tho.

Notably, the cast does include some stellar Down Under talent, in Australia’s Madeleine Madden and Aotearoa’s Zoe Robins. If you dug the books and can’t wait to see how the newly declared Dragon Reborn goes dark, you’ll be smiling in March.

Bosch: Legacy: Season 3 (March 27)

Is it really, for real over this time? In what’s been declared the third and final season of the rebooted adventures of stoic cop-turned-PI Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), a murder investigation gets personal (obviously), Maddie’s caught up in an intriguing string of robberies, and a race for the title of District Attorney in LA turns twisty.

Writing about the end of the original series, Steve Newall was happy that Bosch’s sterling moral code—of “the notion ‘everybody counts, or nobody counts’ heroically pursued at no small cost”—always remained intact, and we can only hope that the follow-up show has kept our guy a shining revenant fighting for the powerless. The most scowly show around.

Picture This (March 6)

What if you had five hot dates lined up, and you truly believed that one of them would end up being the one? In this swoony new rom-com, Bridgerton star Simone Ashley plays a photographer facing this very predicament, snapping cute pics at her sister’s wedding and keeping an eye out for Mr Right in every frame.

Considering that hunk Hero Fiennes Tiffin is front-and-centre in the movie’s marketing, playing our heroine’s rakish ex, it’s pretty likely that none of the new lads work out. Better the devil you know, and all that. Whatever (and whoever) happens, we’re always keen for a fresh rom-com in an era where real screen chemistry is somewhat of a rarity.

F*k Marry Kill (March 14)**

Onto a slightly less romantic story, albeit one with some similiar themes! In this slasher, Lucy Hale somehow knows that of the three dates she’s got lined up, one is a keeper, one is a player, and one is a lady killer. Literally. Taking her chances on dating apps whilst the ‘Swipe Right’ serial killer targeting single women lies in wait, Hale’s lonely gal might end up with more than a broken heart.

I have to say that I love the title, and hope that it ends with a lovely wedding ceremony after all the jumpscares and bloodshed.

Holland (March 27)

Nicole Kidman has never met a tale of a repressed housewife uncovering dark community scerets that she didn’t love. In a mysterious new thriller from director Mimi Cave, Our Nic becomes suspicious of her all-too-cute suburban life in Michigan with husband Matthew Macfadyen and adorable kid Jude Hill (we all saw how cooked Macfadyen was on Succession, he doesn’t fool me for a second). With acerbic suport from Gael García Bernal as a paranoid coworker and the hilarious Rachel Sennott, we’re ready to see an apple pie lifestyle crumble into buttery debris.
