7 Best Shows and Movies New on Prime Video in March 2026 (One’ll Make You Laugh, Two’ll Make You Cry)
✦ Edited and fact-checked by Randy Harward, our Senior Staff Writer with 25 years covering entertainment and TV.
March is looking like a heavyweight month for Prime Video subscribers, and we are absolutely here for it. From the return of our favorite blood-soaked superheroes to the debut of a legendary detective’s origins, there is a lot to clear your schedule for.
Whether you’re looking for a gritty period drama or an intense NBA showdown, we’ve rounded up the must-watch titles hitting the service this month.
7. “Amor Animal” (Season 1) (2026)
This fictional Spanish-language drama takes us to the outskirts of the city, where Kaia, a rising trap artist, meets Nico, a young man from the upper class struggling with existential angst. Their worlds collide in a “Romeo and Juliet”-style romance that threatens to unleash a full-scale gang war. We’re excited to see how this gritty, rhythmic, steamy series balances its intense musical backdrop with a dicey criminal underworld.
6. “Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat” (Season 1) (2026)
The mockumentary magic of “Jury Duty” is back with a new spin in “Company Retreat.” Following the massive success of the original series, this installment takes the same docu-style comedy approach to a high-pressure corporate environment. We can’t wait to see which unsuspecting “hero” gets caught in the middle of this scripted chaos while trying to navigate the ultimate awkward work trip.
5. “Invincible” (Season 4) (2026)
Mark Grayson is back, and the stakes have never been higher as the Viltrumite War officially arrives. Season 4 promises even more of the shocking twists and brutal animation that made this show a streaming powerhouse. We’re particularly ready to see how the team handles the arrival of Thragg, voiced by Lee Pace (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Halt and Catch Fire’), as the galaxy-spanning conflict reaches a fever pitch.
4. NBA on Prime: Boston Celtics vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (2026)
Prime Video continues its sports expansion with a massive matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 13. This isn’t just a regular season game; it’s a potential preview of the Finals featuring some of the brightest stars in the league. We’ll be tuning in to see if the Thunder’s young core can handle the championship-tested grit of the Celtics in what’s bound to be a high-scoring affair.
3. “Young Sherlock” (2026)
Directed by Guy Ritchie, this origin story reimagines Sherlock Holmes at age 19, long before he became the world’s most famous consulting detective. Starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin, the series follows a young Sherlock as he gets caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University that threatens his family’s reputation. We’re looking forward to seeing Ritchie’s signature kinetic style applied to a raw, undisciplined version of the iconic sleuth.
2. VOD: “Wuthering Heights” (2026)
Emerald Fennell’s highly anticipated adaptation of the Brontë classic should make its way to VOD platforms this March or April. Starring Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, this version promises a “primal and sexual” take on the legendary tale of revenge and obsession. We recommend catching this one in a theater where you can fully immerse yourself in the Gothic atmosphere and Fennell’s bold visual storytelling. But, depending on your watch style, you might be able to get that same result on your couch.
1. Oscar Watch: “Hamnet” (2025)
Nominated for eight awards, including Best Picture, “Hamnet” is a must-watch before the Oscars on March 15. Directed by Chloé Zhao, the film stars Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley as William and Agnes Shakespeare, focusing on the tragic loss of their son that inspired the creation of “Hamlet.” It’s a heart-wrenching period piece that has been sweeping awards season, and we think it’s the perfect cinematic experience to round out your month.
