10. “Wicked: For Good” (2026)

The epic conclusion to the untold story of the witches of Oz has finally arrived on streaming. We’ve been waiting to see how Elphaba and Glinda’s journey culminates, and Peacock is delivering the goods on March 20. This installment follows the two friends as their destinies diverge, leading to the legendary roles we know from the classic tale. Expect breathtaking musical numbers and a deeper look into the political unrest of Oz that changed everything for good.

9. “It’s Dorothy!” (2026)

Dropping March 13, this Peacock exclusive documentary dives into the enduring cultural power of “The Wizard of Oz” main character Dorothy Gale. We love how this film explores the character’s evolution from L. Frank Baum’s original pages to the iconic performances by Judy Garland and Diana Ross. It’s a nostalgic and insightful look at why this Kansas farm girl remains a symbol of hope and home over a century later.

8. “E! Live From the Red Carpet—Oscars” (2026)

It isn’t officially Oscar Sunday without the glitz and glamour of the red carpet. On March 15, we’ll be glued to the screen as E! brings us the best (and most questionable) fashion moments direct from the Dolby Theatre. With Conan O’Brien hosting the main event, the pre-show energy is sure to be electric. If you’re planning your viewing party, make sure your Peacock subscription is ready to go so you don’t miss a single interview.

7. “Hamnet” (2026)

Directed by Chloe Zhao and starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, Oscar Best Picture nominee “Hamnet” arrives on March 6. We are treated to a fictionalized but deeply moving account of William Shakespeare’s family life and the tragic death of his only son. The film explores how grief and the creative spirit intertwined to inspire one of the greatest plays ever written. It’s a beautifully shot, emotional powerhouse that is a must-watch for fans of period dramas.

6. “Ted” Season 2 (2026)

Seth MacFarlane’s foul-mouthed bear is back, and we couldn’t be happier to return to the ’90s. All eight episodes of Season 2 drop on March 5, following Ted and John as they navigate the absolute chaos of their senior year of high school. Expect more bong hits, awkward teenage milestones, and that signature Boston humor that makes this duo so legendary. It’s the perfect binge-watch for anyone who needs a good, albeit filthy, laugh.

5. “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004)

March 1 marks the return of this cult classic to the Peacock library. We never get tired of watching Joel and Clementine’s fractured love story unfold through the surreal landscape of memory erasure. It’s a poignant reminder that even the painful parts of a relationship are worth holding onto. If you haven’t seen Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in these career-defining roles, now is the time to catch up.

4. “Legally Blonde” (2001)

What, like it’s hard? Elle Woods brings her signature pink aesthetic back to Peacock on March 1. We love revisiting this story of a sorority girl who heads to Harvard Law to win back her ex, only to discover she’s a much better lawyer than he’ll ever be. It’s the ultimate feel-good movie for a rainy March afternoon, filled with iconic quotes and the unforgettable “bend and snap.”

3. “The Wiz” (1978)

Peacock is really leaning into the Oz theme this month by adding this R&B-infused classic on March 1. We get to watch Diana Ross and Michael Jackson “ease on down” the yellow brick road in a vibrant, urban reimagining of the classic story. The music is legendary, and the production design remains a marvel to this day. It’s a fantastic companion piece to watch alongside the newer “Wicked” releases.

2. “Leprechaun” (1993)

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, the original “Leprechaun” is back starting March 1. We always enjoy the campy horror of Warwick Davis hunting down anyone who dares to touch his pot of gold. It’s a ridiculous, fun, and slightly terrifying romp that also features a very young Jennifer Aniston in her film debut. If you’re feeling brave, Peacock is also hosting several of the sequels for a full-on holiday marathon.

1. “Friday the 13th” (1980)

Whether there is an actual Friday the 13th on the calendar or not (there is), we believe it’s always a good time for a trip to Camp Crystal Lake. This slasher foundation returns to Peacock on March 1, bringing with it all the jump scares and iconic kills that defined the genre. Revisit the mystery of who is actually stalking those counselors (among them a young Kevin Bacon) before the hockey mask even makes an appearance.
